CHERRY HILL, N.J. (WPVI) — The week after Christmas is one of the busiest shopping periods of the year, and Friday was no exception at the Cherry Hill Mall.
According to the National Retail Association, 70% of consumers plan to shop during the week immediately following Christmas. Top reasons include taking advantage of post-holiday sales and using gift cards received during the holidays.
Cherry Hill Police are assisting mall security as crowds grow throughout the day.
A parental supervision policy is in effect after 2 p.m., requiring anyone under 17 to be accompanied by an adult.
The mall opened at 10 a.m. and will remain open until 7 p.m.
Action News caught up with shoppers who came out for everything from exercise to returns and big deals.
“Got my parents out today so they can do some walking and do some shopping,” said Martina Tucker of Voorhees, N.J.
“Our Keurig is broken,” said Ed Gallagher of Pennsauken, N.J., who scored a great deal on a new one with husband Gary Ward.
Mye Chapman of Voorhees told us she was returning a gift for her son: “He just kind of looked at it and laughed, so this is a return.”
As crowds continue to hunt for bargains and make returns, retailers expect strong post-holiday traffic through the weekend.
