The Pennsylvania Real Estate Investment Trust (PREIT), which owns Cherry Hill Mall, urged patience at its shopping centers amid staffing issues this holiday season.

"PREIT appreciates shoppers’ cooperation and understanding as several retailers and restaurants enter the busiest time of the year short-staffed," the company said in a news release. "Those looking for seasonal employment to earn extra holiday income are encouraged to visit each mall’s website to view a list of positions available."

PREIT faces a critical juncture amid its longstanding financial turmoil, with the Philadelphia-based company owing $1.1 billion in debt payments by Dec. 10 that it cannot afford, according to recent filings submitted to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
