Willowbrook Mall: Holiday Hours For 2020

WAYNE, NJ — The coronavirus pandemic has shifted nearly every aspect of life in America, New Jersey and across the globe.

Malls, mom-and-pop shops and other retailers have faced no shortage of challenges themselves. Staple chains have closed, local stores have struggled and many were forced to close this spring and into the early summer.

With great change comes adaptation, and retailers and consumers alike have done just that.

One yearly ritual for many shoppers is a trip to the shopping mall during the holidays.

According to the National Retail Federation, retailers began the deals earlier this year. A recent survey from the NRF found over 40 percent of consumers started shopping earlier than they normally would.

“Consumers have welcomed the longer shopping season, where many retailers have chosen to offer deals before and leading up to the traditional Thanksgiving and Black Friday doorbusters,” Prosper Executive Vice President of Strategy Phil Rist said. “These additional offerings translate to more options for holiday shoppers in the long run.”

However, if you’ve saved your holiday shopping until now — or plan on saving it until the very last minute — Willowbrook Mall has updated holiday hours for you to work with.

The holiday hours at Willowbrook Mall are:

• Thanksgiving: Closed
• Black Friday: 7 a.m. to 9 p.m.
• Christmas Eve: 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.
• Christmas: Closed
• Dec. 26: 9 a.m. to 8 p.m.
• New Year’s Eve: 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.
