Valletta businesses lament
worst-ever Black Friday
MASSIMO COSTA
VALLETTA'S commercial outlets have
taken a major hit due to the ongoing
protests amid the current political
upheaval, with shoppers preferring to
take their business to other localities.
Feedback from shops owners received
by the GRTU painted a bleak picture
of sales performances in the capital on
Black Friday, with many saying it was
the worst such period to date.
"As expected, the current political
situation led to consumers avoiding
Valletta and choosing other localities
as an alternative," GRTU CEO Abigail
Mamo said.
e negative effects were not only felt
by retail outlets, with the operator of
a popular bar in Valletta telling Busi-
nessToday that the drop in customers
last week had been unprecedented.
