A new mall opened in our city a year ago, although Geneva Commons doesn't like to be called a mall. Instead they prefer to be referred to as a *lifestyle* shopping center. Today the center has 76 stores, restaurants and eating *venues*. The stores are supposed to appeal to the *affluent, trend-conscious consumers who are willing to spend money* and consist of *upscale* national chain specialty stores.
Although this is a generality, the translation of all that to me is, the things you buy will cost more, so I rarely go over there.
Yet today, they may have hooked even me.....:cool:
An article in the newpaper indicated that 17 of the stores welcome well-behaved pets in their stores. Abercrombie & Fitch, Adrienne Vittadini, Bath & Body Works, Coldwater Creek, Jos. A. Bank Clothiers, Smith & Hawkin are some of the stores. Those stores identify themselves with a pet friendly logo (a pawprint inside a circle). In addition the outside seating areas of 6 of the *eating venues* also welcome pooches. Store managers merely ask that shoppers come prepared for pet accidents. :o
Sometime in the near future....watch for the accounts of Hannah and Tucker shop the mall (oops, excuse us ) the lifestyle experience.
