Why Royal Carriage for Mag Mile Days

  • Door-to-door drop-off — chauffeur stops curbside at each store entrance
  • Package storage — bags lock in the trunk between stops; no carrying multiple Bloomingdale's sleeves down the street
  • No parking math — Mag Mile garages are $40-60+; valet is the same
  • Climate control on cold or rainy days
  • Dinner add-on — book the chauffeur for a downtown dinner after shopping

What's Included

  • Multi-stop curbside drop-off at every store
  • Trunk space for packages
  • Bottled water and phone chargers
  • Coffee/lunch stops included in hourly rate
  • Post-shopping dinner drop-off downtown

Best Days to Shop the Mag Mile

  • Tuesday/Wednesday afternoons — calmest, best store-attention ratio
  • Sunday mornings — open at 11 AM, less crowded
  • Avoid the weekend before Christmas — sidewalks are jammed
  • Black Friday morning is a chaos lottery; afternoon is calmer
