Christmas

Shoppers Scramble For Super Saturday Deals

It's the final weekend before Christmas, and that typically means crowded malls and parking lots.

Thousands flocked to Frisco's Town Square for shopping, food, ice skating and an incredible light show.

"I'm very last minute," said Faith Pennington, who spent five hours shopping at Stonebriar Centre in Frisco Saturday. "I don't get things done early. That's a terrible habit."

It's a habit many folks can't seem to break.

According to the National Retail Federation, only 10 percent of shoppers had completed all their Christmas shopping this week. Parking lots were so full, Stonebriar Center began offering parking shuttles.

In the final week of December, retailers can make as much as 15 percent of their holiday sales, according to the NRF.

Many stores are offering extended hours to accommodate those last minute shoppers.
