Santa Claus is coming to the mall, after all
KAMLOOPS — North Shore children better not pout, and they better not cry: Santa Claus *is* coming to town – and to the Northills Mall – this Christmas season.
The mall’s landlord, Prospero International, had initially decided to cancel Santa’s appearance this year and replace it with a key promotion, in which young mall-goers could try to open a gift box to win a prize.
But that led to a social media backlash, and a petition from the mall’s tenants calling for Prospero to reverse the decision.
Vice President of Retail Properties Rick Halliday says the mall’s anchor tenant, Your Independent Grocers, has stepped up and will bring Santa in after all.
