Right now there is an influx of people coming in right after work and that is a hard situation to avoid.
Sales have sky rocketed on mall-wide gift cards, and often times they will come back in the week after Christmas.
It's been very positive. In the typical November to December shopping season we would expect 3.5 million shoppers, and a little over two million of that occurs in December.
We ended the season on a very positive note. We are working to building up the program in the future.
As soon as the weather became brisker apparel sales went up. Jewelry is also popular because a lot of men purchase jewelry as a last minute gift. Expect a lot of traffic in that area.
We have seen a lot of heavy traffic in the last week or two. The warmer days in early November were slower than usual, but it has picked up and doubled up since the weather has cooled off.
Typically, the morning of Christmas Eve is busy and it will taper off by around three in the afternoon, that's with the exception of Santa who has long lines all day. By that time people are going home to finish last minute wrapping. The day after Christmas is very, very busy.
