Locally owned stores benefit from Boxing Day overflowWARWICK SMITH/STUFF The wet weather did not stop shoppers from lining up outside The Plaza in Palmerston North before it opened on Boxing Day. Locally-owned retail reaped the benefits of Boxing Day sales without having to run a red pen through their price-tags. This was an 8.1 per cent increase on Boxing Day 2016. But there were still more customers on Boxing Day than a regular Tuesday, she said. For more than 20 years she'd never held a Boxing Day sale.
