South Coast Plaza has also been nearing $2 billion in total annual sales, spokesperson Debra Gunn Downing told Business Insider.
However, Downing told Business Insider that it's been seeing normal traffic. Although there was a drop in Chinese and Italian tourists visiting South Coast Plaza because of travel restrictions, Downing claims that drop has been offset by its "local domestic and other international shoppers.""Although we are an international luxury shopping destination, our core audience is from a 100-mile range," Downing said.
The OC Health Care Agency declined to comment when asked by Business Insider about the potential COVID-19 exposure at South Coast Plaza, butthat the HCA has confirmed that the COVID-19 positive individual did not, in fact, visit the South Coast Plaza. "We expected the promotion to be successful but we were surprised at how it was a smash hit, with lines of people stretching down our corridors every day to receive their South Coast Plaza gift certificates," Downing said.
