A global pandemic isn t stopping Bay Area residents from hunting down bargains on Prada bags and Nike trainers at the San Francisco Premium Outlets in Livermore.
On Monday, the mega-outlet center 40 miles from downtown San Francisco was brimming with crowds.
Photos from Dec. 21 show the outlet s massive parking lot full and its outdoor corridors packed, and if people weren t wearing masks and lining up to get in stores you never would have known there was a pandemic.
People on social media have been commenting on the mob scene at the outdoor outlet mall that s touted as Northern California s largest luxury outlet with more than 180 stores.
