About 116 million people nationwide are expected to shop on Black Friday. The National Retail Federation, the nation’s largest retail trade group, is expecting holiday retail sales in November and December to increase as much as 4.8 percent over 2017 for a total of $720.89 billion. That excludes automobiles, gasoline and restaurants. The projected sales growth marks a slowdown from last year’s 5.3 percent, which was the largest gain since 2010.
