By now, most everybody has felt it in one way or another. The economic recession is even affecting San Marcos' own shopping mecca--The Outlet Malls. Dexter Ellison has more in this Bobcat Update.
The Outlet Malls have long been a place for students to earn money in retail. But now consumers are being a little tighter with their spending. Feras Rachid, Store Manager at the Levi's Outlet, has noticed a change. He says customers are purchasing only necessary items. Rachid says retailers are trying to encourage shoppers by offering more discounts and bulk item sales. Even so, business is down.
