As already mentioned beforehand, even though the concepts of enclosed malls is a dying trend across North America, I think Newfoundland bucks that trend only because the weather here sucks so much of the year.

I feel that the owners of The Avalon Mall are missing an opportunity here. They should be doing everything in their power to improve the flow and the choices of stores in the mall rather than turning it into a box store centre like they are doing now with all those strip stores outside of the main mall. They should build a second floor above the entire section from Fog City all the way down to Sears. I am sure it can be done. Though the owners of Avalon Mall unfortunately don't seem to have any idea of flow or architecture. Most of the mall feels like being in a subway station in Toronto with low ceilings and little natural light.
