The week before Easter is called Holy week, and it's a big time for shopping in
San Marcos. Bobcat Update's Eddie Garcia explains.

It's vacation time for many residents of Mexico. They're off the entire week
from work and school, and many of them take advantage of the time off by
shopping in San Marcos. This is not just a day trip. Die-hard shoppers dedicate
the entire week to get the sales that many stores are offering. Joe's Jeans
manager Kim Bauer says the entire region benefits from San Marcos being a
shopping mecca.

Holy week is comparable to Black Friday, the day after Thanksgiving as far as
its impact on sales. The San Marcos Police Department assists in handling the
increased traffic at the malls.

Armani Exchange Manager Michael Gonzales says during this week alone the store
will likely reach its sales goal for the entire month.

There will likely be long lines to check out at every store. Store managers say
if you want to avoid the crowds this week, shopping in the morning is your best
bet. For Bobcat Update, I'm Eddie Garcia.
