ALTAMONTE SPRINGS, Fla. – With what Gov. Ron DeSantis is calling a full phase one, now in effect, retailers can now allow up to 50 percent capacity.
News 6 headed to the Altamonte Mall along with other stores in the area, to see if the new rollout has impacted shoppers’ habits.
The mall, it turns out, was pretty quiet; no crowds of shoppers or long lines. One shopper commenting, "I think today, honestly, it’s the weather," said Kristin Pecoraro, after the area saw rain this morning.
Pecoraro tells News 6 she works at the Altamonte Mall, adding "the malls are not swarmed with people." We ran into her while she was on her break, running errands.
