People still go to malls? Neat.

I prefer to order from Amazon AND NEVER LEAVE MY HOUSE. :D

Not really, but malls... yeah.

I also work from home so I don't have to commute. But no cabin fever here. Nope. :blink:

Not especially; offhand the only time of year when I might - heavy on the might - be inclined to hit up a mall after 6pm on a Saturday would be Christmas. Even then I kick off my Christmas shopping in October so by December I'm typically and thankfully long done insofar as any pressing need to visit a mall or any other retail enterprise.

Didn't mean for myself specifically, more in the sense that it's supposed to be the premier shopping destination for greater Victoria and it's closed at 6 on a Saturday..

That's an interesting point so just for S & G's I checked a few of the major malls in Vancouver and Mayfair it seems isn't too far out of line given its dated and limited nature (by comparison to the big Vancouver malls) and the fact that the market here is one seventh of what they serve.

Oakridge and Park Royal both close at 7pm on Saturday's, while Metrotown, the third largest mall in the country, is open to 9pm; not surprising given the huge geographic and broad demographic market the latter serves not to mention its central location relative to Greater Vancouver. They can probably stay open that late and still be wildly profitable. Mayfair as we know would be a tomb in comparison. It is also dwarfed in terms of size, Metrotown being 3.5x larger in square footage and offering up 450+ store/retail outlets. Mayfair has something like < 120.

Tsawwassen Mills is also open to 9pm, and again consider the market it serves - its basically the only game in town in Tsawwassen, White Rock and Ladner, it is much more contemporary than Mayfair and itself is nearly triple the size with - IMO - much more interesting and attractive retailers and a food court that must seat at least twice as many people as Mayfair.
