Ever notice the malls were a bit emptier this Christmas? Rising bills and pricey groceries meant more people skipped the holiday shopping rush, waiting for post-Christmas deals instead. Shopping centers took the biggest hit, with fewer folks just browsing. The big takeaway? Shoppers are getting pickier and making fewer trips, so retailers are feeling the pinch. Maybe next year, those early-bird sales will be even bigger! #Business #LocalBusiness #RetailTrends
