KENTUCKY — A number of stores are going to stay closed on Thanksgiving and reopen for Black Friday, but a large number of retailers will be open for die-hard shopaholics to take advantage of sales.
According to the National Retail Federation (NRF), consumers say they will spend an average of $1,047.83 on holiday shopping, up 4% from $1,007.24 from last year.
“Consumers are in good financial shape and willing to spend a little more on gifts for the special people in their lives this holiday season,” NRF President and CEO Matthew Shay said. “Retailers are fully prepared to meet the needs of holiday shoppers looking for that perfect mix of sales, quality and selection.”
