stein Local retailers say the re experiencing an upswing in sales this year.
The Christmas gift buying season has arrived
in Eugene and local retailers are experiencing
an upswing in shopping
While most of that increase is due to the time of
year, other reasons also come into play
Gloria Godfrey, owner of McKenzie Honey Farms
in the Eugene Downtown Mall, believes a certain
governor of a southern state has more than just a lit
tle to do with the spending
"People have a more upbeat and positive attitude
after the election." Godfrey said with a smile, looking
out at the newly opened Olive Street and the poten
tial shoppers passing by
“I think the election has convinced people that
tthings are changing, things are going to be better."
he said
And while not all retailers may agree with God
frey on the cause, they certainly agree on the effect
Jamie Chisum. a sales associate at Great Out
door Clothing Outfit in the Downtown Mall, believes
the opening of Olive Street has contributed to more
shopping
"We've seen a lot more foot traffic since they
opened (Olive Street) up," Chisum said. “It just
makes the mall more open for casual shoppers."
Yet. while shop-owners are finding more and
more shoppers passing through their doors, stu
dents are not tiling in at a remarkable pace
"Students are mostly looking for themselves."
Godfrey said with a laugh However, the store owner
gestured around the McKenzie Outfitters store
pointing out numerous items she believed students
would be interested in.
"We have plenty of things students could buy for
gifts, from vests to socks to nightgowns." Godfrey
explained. "I guess we have to wait until the last
minute with students, though "
Since most students usually opt for University
apparel for Mom and Dad. shop owners are cutting
prices on sweatshirts, pants, hats and the like
Duck sweatshirts are available for as little as $12
at McKenzie Outfitters Or. if Oregon's berth in the
Independence Bowl put you in a more expensive
mood, the University Bookstore has more pricey
options in its selection
"Sweaters and shirts sell the very best,” said
Tammy Berry, owner of Cooking on Broadway and
manager of McKenzie Outfitters "They're usually
closely followed by socks and gloves."
For students who have more than $20 in their wal
let, Melange in the Downtown Mall offers fashion
able outfits
"We have lots of unique gifts that are not outra
geously priced." said Lauren Harvell, who studies
at the University as well as working at Melange
"Most students seem to be interested in accessory
items, like purses and belts."
