North Bay Mall
News Release
************************
North Bay Mall is pleased to announce that Loblaws will open a No Frills store in the Mall. They have begun to fit out the 40,000-sq. ft space in the middle of the Mall, next door to the recently-opened HART Store.
(Mr.) Italo Ferrari, of MVD Properties Inc. announced that with the addition of No Frills, the transformation of the Mall will be complete. “When we took over North Bay Mall it was almost empty and in desperate need of serious investment. We believe that North Bay is an ideal marketplace for a mall facility and decided to re-invest heavily into the re-birth of the Mall, and the West Ferris area of the city.” He added, “This is an exciting day for North Bay – this Mall will be the cornerstone of Lakeshore Drive and will spur further investment in the area.”
Mayor Victor Fedeli was extremely pleased with the news. “When we came into office, there were 12 empty buildings on Lakeshore Drive and the Mall was all but abandoned. The owners of MVD Properties Inc. saw a diamond in the rough in North Bay, Lakeshore Drive, and especially the North Bay Mall. Their investment was a serious gamble. The Mayor added, “The addition of No Frills to the North Bay Mall is just fabulous. This completes the transformation of the Mall into a wonderful business area.”
