For official last minute shoppers
If you’re still hunting for Christmas gifts, you’re officially a very last minute holiday shopper!
Many malls have shorter hours today and other retailers will close their doors earlier than usual. Be aware of the following opening hours if you’re headed to one of these regional shopping centers.
Valley View Mall (Roanoke): 7 a.m. to 6 p.m.
Tanglewood Mall (Roanoke County): 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.
New River Valley Mall (Christiansburg): 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.
River Ridge Mall (Lynchburg): 7 a.m. to 6 p.m.
Also, if you're in the mood for bargaining, Christmas Eve likely is your best time to get a great deal, since it's crunch time for retailers to move items off shelves. Check out this interesting story about how more shoppers are haggling for lower prices on holiday gifts this year.
