North Bay Mall 40 years young

The North Bay Mall has been around since 1976 and on Saturday there will be a celebration.

Property Manager Farrah Nadon says actually the 40 year anniversary date will be Thursday.

She says the mall’s had ups and downs over the years but things are looking up again with Urban Planet, World Gym and Sleep Country all part of their operation now.

She says Sleep Country is not in the mall but at the old Blockbuster Video building but they do own that property.

Nadon says two of their tenants Parmino’s and The Shaving Mug are still in business at the mall.

The original owners were Juno Developments and at one point there were 60 stores.

Nadon says they experienced some major changes over the last couple of years as they’ve lost tenants like Winners to the McKeown development but things are looking up now.
