We encourage everyone to participate and help spread the word about the amazing shopping experiences waiting right here in McAllen.”
The McAllen Shop Hop is the latest in a series of seasonal campaigns by the McAllen Chamber of Commerce, designed to support local businesses and showcase the city’s unique retail scene.
