"It‘s a real treat to watch their faces when they first see the aniâ€" mals," she says. + Appreciative parents also tell Sutcliffe the mall has "the best Santa in town." "We‘re hoping to attract more local craftspeople, especially around Christmas. We‘ve kept the rental rates very reasonable," explains marketing director Penny Deathe. The "community stage" offered by Oakville Place is a rotating forum for numerous worthwhile causes â€" everyâ€" thing from displays on composting to charitable organizations such as Child Find Ontario, which offers fingerprinting identification sessions for small children. One such example of that "personaliâ€" ty" is the recent addition of several MRU‘s â€" mobile retail units â€" displays with numerous configuration possibilities designed to help smallâ€"scale retailers increase their public exposure. There are several in use in the wide central corridor on the main level. "We‘re seeing more sales, and more interest, which is always a good sign. But there‘s also a big effort with the retailers to give the mall personality and flavor." Oakville Place marketing director Penny Deathe smiles from the upper level. In addition to a slowly recovering economy, a carefully chosen mix of new and established retailers has strengthened the mall‘s appeal, Hymas believes.

And Sutcliffe smiles easily when talking about the residents of the nearby Oakville Lifecare Centre, many of whom attend the mall‘s seniors‘ days with free bingo held the last Thursday of each month. The merchants here are currently gearing up for a Father‘s Day promotion, featuring giveaways of Blue Jays tickets and other donated goodies. June also brings a hockey museum, and a mobile dinosaur exhibit from the Royal Ontario Museum is slated for July. Deathe is also working on activity days for children in July and August. Let‘s not forget the more glamorous events, such as the upcoming mini aucâ€" tion hosted by two stars from the daytime soap The Young and the Restless. On June 4, local fans will gather at the mall to bid on scripts, jewelry and other items from the show, and proceeds will benefit the Sick Children‘s Hospital.
