The operation is located across from The Gap in the former location of Petite Sophisticates. Karla Garber or her mother have owned a store in the Mall of Abilene since it opened. Kristi's was the first store. Now they own Holidays. Unless you are a grocery store or pharmacy, something that is an absolute necessity, this is exactly where you have to be located.
Holidays features gifts, collectibles and all holiday-related merchandise.
She said the broad spectrum of people coming to the mall give the merchants an excellent traffic base. The mall is getting more of the updated, trendy stores, like The Gap and Vanity. Majors sees his main competition from discount stores, not other local or regional malls. The mall has acted as a magnet for other retailers. Since the mall opened in 1979, Target, Toys R Us, and Lowe's have built within sight of the center.
