Crowds inside the mall can mean chaos outside.
Some people have been complaining that they’ve had to circle around the mall before snagging a parking spot.
“It is busy, that’s one thing I notice. So it is hard to finding parking,” says shopper Hareld Glas. “I’m not big on crowds, but I guess that’s the price you pay for getting a deal.”
