Centres throughout the country reported a rise in the number of customers from Boxing Day to Hogmanay, with some noting a 54% increase on the last Saturday of 2011
Ryan Manson, general manager of Aberdeen's Union Square, said: "We have experienced a fantastic couple of days at Union Square with nearly 290,000 shoppers flocking to the centre for sales bargains since Boxing Day. Footfall on the last Saturday of 2012 was up 54% on the same Saturday last year, which was New Year's Eve."
