Regular visitors to the Rupert Square Shopping Mall may be wondering if there has been a giant sale on plain brown paper of late, such is the state of window dressing for many of the retail spaces in the city’s down town shopping mall, as Prince Rupert’s still stagnating economy continues to cause troubles for the retail sector in the city…
Went on our yearly drive to Terrace for the Easter weekend. It’s not really a shopping trip just a chance to finally hit the road after the long winter.
But we did go to Walmart where we were able to say hello to several Rupertites visiting the crowded store.
Then we went to the mall which was empty. Saturday afternoon and empty. Walmart and Canadian Tire steal shoppers from Rupert, but without those stores I am not sure if Terrace is any better off than we are.
