Perimeter Mall Retailers Sweeten the Pot on Christmas Discounts
Some of the national chain retailers are offering last minute discounts in the face of lower than expected numbers so far this holiday season.
Did you wait to the last minute to shop for Christmas? Depending on who you are buying for, you could be in luck.
The Associated Press is reporting that Aeropostale and American Eagle Outfitters - both chains have stores in Perimeter Mall - are offering deep discounts to draw people in the last few days before the season is over.
The reason: a slower than expected season for retailers who make up to 40 percent of their revenue during the holidays.
