Getting your holiday shopping done just got a whole lot easier for some Staten Islanders. 

The Staten Island Mall just opened a new parking garage. The space offers an additional three levels of parking and it's free of charge. Construction is currently underway at the mall for an expansion, set to be complete by next fall. The work temporarily reduced parking.

Shoppers we spoke to say the new spots will help especially during the busy holiday season, "it's definitely nice to know you can just pull in and there's going to be plenty of spots available. You don't have to worry about driving around to search for it."

The mall will also offer valet parking for three dollars per vehicle beginning november 16th.
