Garden State Plaza Packed with Last-Minute Shoppers
Mall will be open Christmas Eve until 6 p.m.
If you thought waiting until the last minute to finish your Christmas shopping might leave you less shoppers to contend with, think again.
At 8:30 p.m. Monday, even the Garden State Plaza was packed.
"It took me about 20 minutes to find a parking spot," said Maria Rosales of Lodi. "We thought it may have died down later in the evening, but I guess not."
Parking spots were scarce. Every lot seemed to be filled to capacity and right as one car backed out of a spot another pulled in.
The Garden State Plaza will remain open until 11 pm on Monday evening and will be open from 7 am - 6 pm on Tuesday. Best of luck in parking spot sweepstakes.
