Poughkeepsie Galleria Mall Report 12/23/2007

By
Real Estate Agent with 24/7 Realty Inc.

Just returned from the mall day 2 of shopping just before Christmas.  Upon arrival at 11 am the mall was busy but not that bad.  Boy by noon it was jammed packed.  Thank god I'm a fast shopper as I was able to do my price comparisons, pick up my items and be out of there by 1:30p.  The mall was very busy but it still seemed less busy than in years past.  A sign of the times I guess.

From the Galleria I headed north to the stores in and around the 9 Mall area.  Both TJ Maxx and Marshalls were very crowded.  Maybe the discount chains are having a better year with the ecomny the way it is.  Makes me ponder.

Update:  Back to the mall at 9pm to get what I had forgot.  Busy is the word very busy not packed just busy.  Macy employees reported a high incedent of theft in the expense perfume section as everything was no behind the counter.  Left the mall at 10:30 and it was still busy.

One last gift to get and I will advise on the mall status on Christmas Eve.
