On the way back from work I often pass the expanded Bicester Village Designer Outlet Centre. So it was interesting to have time to stop and have a look today. People were standing four deep in a Disneyland style queue outside Pandora, one of the most popular stores on Black Friday.
Later in the day I saw people getting personal service in the Pandora in Abingdon

In Abingdon, the national chains had Black Friday discounts with offers like 20% off everything or 25% off everything.

Personally I think it best only to buy what you were intending to buy anyway and take advantage of any Black Friday discount, but not to go searching for things you would not otherwise buy.

This evening, a well known Abingdon shop has been moving fridges, shelves, and food and drink from the old location on West St Helen’s Street to Stert Street, where the men’s clothes shop recently closed. It looks very smart and they will be reopening on Thursday 23rd for business as usual.

The Co-op in West St Helen Street has also had the shop fitters in overnight, removing a lot of their old shelves and putting in a lot of new chiller units. Again it has gone on overnight and they will be reopening on Thursday.
