BACK-TO-SCHOOL BASH AT ALTAMONTE MALL

(Altamonte Springs, FL)- The time of year that most “shopaholics” look forward to is here: the Florida Tax-Free Holiday! Shoppers can buy many school items, including clothes, books and school supplies sales tax-free from August 4th- August 13th. In celebration of the Florida Tax-Free Holiday, Altamonte Mall has partnered with Mix 105.1 FM and the Great American Cookie Company to throw a Back-to-School Bash on Saturday, August 11th from 10am until 2pm in front of Macy’s on the lower level.

Shoppers can expect many games, prizes and activities during the back-to-school bash. There will be an opportunity to register to win a $100 shopping spree at the Altamonte Mall. Free back-to-school gift bags will be distributed while supplies last. Mix 105.1 FM will be giving away 100 bike helmets and safety information for students.

“Altamonte Mall is the perfect destination for back-to-school shopping, because it has a variety of stores that kids and teens prefer to shop at, all in one location,” said Amy Leznoff, Marketing Manager of Altamonte Mall.

In keeping with Altamonte Mall’s effort to give back to the community, shoppers can buy and decorate a portion of a giant cookie made by the Great American Cookie Company, who is celebrating their 30th birthday. All proceeds will benefit Habitat for Humanity in Seminole County. General Growth Properties, who owns and manages Altamonte Mall, has a national partnership with Habitat for Humanity. “The main focus of our company is to provide a unique shopping experience and embrace the efforts of the community,” said Leznoff.
