So he was probably left wondering if we were something akin to a banana republic.

Many merchants realize facilities such as this will be the lifeline of their business in future-years, and are supporting the cause With special sales and percentage donations. In fact, many employees are working for free tonight to show their support for the cause. Though the merchants may not see a direct correlation, tonight's Take Pride and Shop promotion in Uptown Waterloo is a classic example of why core retailers should not be overly alarmed by the approval of a factory outlet mall just north of the City.

On the mall: Waterloo is getting a factory outlet mall (am-ow the border in Woolwich) and it's a cinch to succeed.
