Holiday Retail Numbers Look Good
With just days to go in the holiday shopping season, the Lansing Mall has nothing but good news to report when it comes to this season’s shopper turnout. Overall the mall says it’s seen some double digit increases in some shopping categories. With just days left until Christmas, the mall says it couldn’t be happier with this year’s turnout.
The early numbers are in and they’re better than expected, especially for a new mall store. It moved from a small kiosk to another location in November.
Ray Jackson, Kingdom Dreams: “We probably saw more traffic in a week than we saw out there in a month, and it’s been that kind of traffic and that kind of support.”
Apparel sales are up 17% and Jackson has definitely seen the same in his store.
Ray Jackson: “It’s been going fantastic, phenomenal. We’ve exceeded our expectations already. It’s just been wonderful.”
