Mall of America will require supervision of teens under 16 wishing to shop at the mall on Black Friday, the Pioneer Press reported.
The restriction stems from a chair-throwing brawl in the mall, sparked mostly by teens, the day after Christmas last year, spokesperson Bridget Jewell told the Star Tribune.
"We realized after last year that we had a large number of youths who were coming," she said. "Just for everyone's safety, it makes sense to us to put the policy in place."
The Mall of America welcomed 219,000 shoppers into the facility during last year's Black Friday, the Pioneer Press said.
