Wendy Radford, Blue Route Mall's Centre Manager of Broll Property Management:
I can hardly believe we have only eight months to go until the launch of the new Blue Route Mall in March 2012 - I guess the old adage is true, time really does fly when you're having fun and especially so if you have something new and exciting to look forward to !
Many of my friends and family keep asking me what will be different and fresh about the new Mall. Each time I answer, I realize that I keep adding new points of interest - as there are so many different and unique qualities about the new Mall. Well, it's brand new - for starters. So it got me thinking that for this column, I had to share these characteristics with you, as a valued shopper of our Blue Route Mall.
