After slightly more than a month of bucking industry trend by opening its malls at 8 a.m. on Saturdays, the owner of Park Meadows and Southwest Plaza malls is returning to a later start.
The malls, both owned by General Growth Properties Inc., issued a joint news release announcing the new weekend hours. Park Meadows will be open from 9:30 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays. Southwest Plaza will be open from 10 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays.
Most metro area malls open at 10 a.m. on Saturdays.
In a related announcement, Park Meadows said the free shuttle service connecting the shopping center to the light-rail station at County Line Road will be reduced to weekend service only after Monday.
The shuttle will run every 15 minutes on Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. and Sundays from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m.
