Black Friday Bargains Draw Crowds to Citadel Outlets in Commerce

Shoppers flocked to the Citadel Outlets in Commerce, California, for the 27-hour Black Friday shopping experience, with large crowds and long lines. While many stores in Southern California were closed for Thanksgiving, most retailers at the outlet mall opened their doors in the evening. The National Retail Federation expects shoppers to spend more this year, but at a slower pace due to economic uncertainty.
