OXNARD — Spring into Easter with Centerpoint Mall shopping and dining at the more than 49 retail, specialty, entertainment and restaurants ranging from apparel and jewelry to candy and gift cards, among others. Centerpoint Mall is the popular holiday spot to shop for spring deals from now through Easter Sunday.
According to the National Retail Federation (NRF), Americans will spend more than ever as they celebrate Easter nearly three weeks later this year than last. Spending for Easter is expected to reach $18.4 billion, up 6 percent over last year’s record $17.3 billion and a new all-time high. Those celebrating plan to spend an average of $152 per person, up 4 percent from last year’s previous record of $146.

The 50 percent of consumers planning to buy clothing is up from 45 percent last year and is the highest level in a decade while the $3.3 billion expected to be spent is up 9 percent from last year.
“Most consumers have had almost an entire extra month to shop for Easter this year, and by the time the holiday comes the weather should be significantly warmer than last Easter,” NRF President and CEO Matthew Shay said. “That should put shoppers in the frame of mind to splurge on spring apparel along with Easter decorations. With the economy improving, consumers are ready to shop and retailers are ready to offer great deals whether they’re buying Easter baskets or garden tools.”
With shopping lists in hand, 58 percent of consumers will head to discount stores, 46 percent will go to department stores and 26 percent will shop at local small businesses.
