“Shoppers continue to remain optimistic about the upcoming holiday shopping weekend despite inflation,” said Tom McGee, President and CEO of ICSC. “While they expect to encounter higher prices this holiday season, they’re turning to smart and savvy shopping techniques to make sure they’re getting the best deals on the things they buy to maximize what they have to spend. We anticipate increased consumer spending and a strong shopping season for retailers during Thanksgiving weekend.”
Ninety percent of shoppers plan to visit a store to buy an item or pick up an online purchase, and among physical stores, eight-in-10 shoppers plan to visit a retail marketplace during Thanksgiving weekend. Most expect to shop and dine, but this year, more consumers also plan to attend holiday-themed events.
