It may be that $5 is a magic number when it comes to attracting shoppers to shopping venues that are hungry for customers in the post-holiday shopping season.
Ala Moana Center will offer a $5 gift certificate good for purchases at its Makai Food Court when shoppers spend more than $75 or more in one day during its Jan. 15 to 17 sidewalk sale.

Additionally, Ward Centers is running a $5 meal deal at participating restaurants now through Feb. 28.
The Ward offerings include breakfast, lunch, and dinner meals.
