Stores at Bridgewater Falls in Fairfield Twp. will open at different times on Thanksgiving, Black Friday and the rest of the holiday season, according to Danielle Reynolds, spokeswoman for the lifestyle center, who suggested contacting individual stores for exact holiday hours.
This year for Thanksgiving and Black Friday, Bridgewater Falls will have additional officers helping direct traffic through the parking lot, Reynolds said.
“We’ll also be flowing traffic a bit differently, so we want shoppers to pay extra attention to signage on stop signs and on the light poles,” she said.
Bridgewater Falls will offer holiday giveaways on its Facebook page and random pop-up giveaways in the parking lot.
