To avoid ‘Black Friday’ shopping mob scenes

To avoid ‘Black Friday’ shopping mob scenes, many Ukrainian shopping center are opting for social distancing alternatives. Kyiv’s Gulliver shopping center has replaced its planned Friday-Saturday-Sunday sales with sales all this week, Tatiana Atadzhanova, the mall’s PR director tells Interfax-Ukraine. To further spread out shoppers, the mall is closing one hour later than normal — at 23:00. In contrast, Ocean Plaza, Dream Town, and Sky Mall will hold ‘Black Friday,’ keeping stores open until 23:00, one hour before the weekend quarantine starts.
