Also that day, the retail merchants committee of the Brampton Chamber of Commerce met November 15 with Brampton Shopping Centre officials regarding the "delicate subject" of business hours for retail in town. Officials from the mall wanted to arrange a meeting of all merchants after Christmas, both in the downtown and in the mall, to determine store shopping hours.

Shopping Mall
A shopping mall (or simply mall) is a North American term for a large indoor shopping center, usually anchored by department stores. The term "mall" originally meant a pedestrian promenade with shops along it (that is, the term was used to refer to the walkway itself which was merely bordered by such shops), but in the late 1960s, it began to be used as a generic term for the large enclosed shopping centers that were becoming commonplace at the time. In the U.K., such complexes are considered shopping centres (Commonwealth English: shopping centre), though "shopping center" covers many more sizes and types of centers than the North American "mall". Other countries may follow U.S. usage (Philippines, India, U.A.E., etc.) and others (Australia, etc.) follow U.K. usage. In Canadian English, and oftentimes in Australia and New Zealand, 'mall' may be used informally but 'shopping centre' or merely 'centre' will feature in the name of the complex (such as Toronto Eaton Centre).

Miracle Food Mart
Miracle Food Mart was a supermarket chain in Ontario, Canada, owned by Steinberg's, a Quebec-based retailer in the 1970s and 1980s. Steinberg purchased the Canadian division of Grand Union, with 38 stores, in June 1959 to make its entrance into Ontario. These stores operated under the ''Steinberg banner'' until January 1969, when the marketing program of "Miracle Discount Pricing" was introduced and the entire chain of stores was converted to the ''Miracle Food Mart'' banner. The marketing philosophy was a simple one, reduce all of the "fancy" advertising such as colour flyers, television and radio spots and offer everyday items at deeply reduced prices as a line item within the weekly black & white flyer. This move proved to be successful as the chain expanded quickly (to approximately 80 stores) over the next ten years, gaining a substantial increase in market share. In 1973, the Miracle Food Mart division made a revolutionary move to abolish its general-image advertising and ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
