Super Saturday targets last-minute shoppers, who hit the malls and the computer for online Christmas presents.

“This is good, quality time. We all have our Christmas PJs on. We’re filled with the Christmas spirit right now,” shopper Tangela Beasley said.

“This is good for business. Everybody’s happy and the stores are all busy and the customers are all spending money,” Bultmann said.
Shopper Larry Hahn said he waits until the last minute, but he’s doing better this year.
