Thanksgiving Day shoppers were in high spirits as they entered J.C. Penney’s in Southern Park Mall at 8 p.m. to get a jump on the Christmas shopping season. Several stores in the mall and others on U.S. Route 224 opened on the holiday to kick off what is the busiest retail shopping period of the year.
