“We often notice that during the holiday season there are a lot of people and it gets a little bit busier,” Berryhill said. “It’s great just enjoying the evening, and the cooler weather just adds to the energy.”
Locals enjoy the holiday spirit at Towne’s Tavern in Palm City.
“Thankfully, it’s getting busier and busier,” said Tiffany Ferrugio, an employee at Towne’s Tavern. “People love cold weather. It’s hot here, so when it gets cold, people love being outside in the cold.”
Both companies expect the holiday shopping weekend to be even busier.
“We’re really hopeful because it’s supposed to be colder. So we’re really hoping that more people will be outside,” Jackson said.
