Come Early and Stay Late at The Shops at Mission Viejo

Management at The Shops at Mission Viejo announced today that The Shops at Mission Viejo will have extended holiday hours starting at 8:00 p.m. on Thanksgiving evening to greet shoppers and families eager to begin their holiday shopping for the 2013 season. 

Families, friends and shoppers are welcome to join us at The Shops at Mission Viejo for special shopping events and activities during the Thanksgiving holiday weekend. Everyone can come walk off those Thanksgiving calories at 8 p.m. and begin crossing names off their holiday lists as well as getting some great deals for themselves.

“Heading to The Shops at Mission Viejo with family and friends is the perfect way to wrap up a holiday about gratitude and togetherness,” said Patsy Sanquist, director of marketing and business development at The Shops at Mission Viejo. “Many families enjoy entertainment traditions around Thanksgiving, whether it’s sharing meals, going shopping, seeing a movie, or watching a game together. We are excited to meet our customers’ different schedules and needs with the variety of retail and entertainment experiences they enjoy at The Shops at Mission Viejo, plus extended opportunities for holiday ‘doorbusters’ and deals to be discovered.” 

To reward its earliest shoppers, the first 100 guests on Thursday night will receive complimentary swag bag, and treats will be available at Guest Services through Black Friday weekend. 

In addition, The Shops at Mission Viejo’s mall management “elves” will greet and reward shoppers who have been on their best behavior this year with surprise treats and goodies, starting Black Friday weekend and continuing throughout the holiday season.

Friendly greeters will be stationed at mall directories starting Black Friday, and continuing during holiday weekends and Christmas Eve, to help shoppers with directions, answer questions, distribute retailer offers and provide an insider’s perspective on the best deals and gift ideas for the holiday season.

To keep shoppers’ spirits high, holiday entertainment will be going on throughout Black Friday weekend as well.
