The Pen Centre - Previous Anchors

Previous Anchors

The Pen Centre originally was an outdoor mall, eventually enclosed and expanded several times. The original anchors were Miracle Mart department store, Miracle Food Mart, Sears and Zellers. The Miracle Food Mart closed and Zehrs was added to the mall. Expansions added Eatons and the cinemas. Miracle Mart department store was sold to Robinson's which in turn became The Bay. When Eaton's went bankrupt the space was subdivided into Winners, A Buck or Two, EB Games, Mappins Jewellers, Sport Chek and Old Navy.

Famous quotes containing the words previous and/or anchors:

    New York has never learnt the art of growing old by playing on all its pasts. Its present invents itself, from hour to hour, in the act of throwing away its previous accomplishments and challenging the future. A city composed of paroxysmal places in monumental reliefs.
    Michel de Certeau (1925–1986)

    The primary function of myth is to validate an existing social order. Myth enshrines conservative social values, raising tradition on a pedestal. It expresses and confirms, rather than explains or questions, the sources of cultural attitudes and values.... Because myth anchors the present in the past it is a sociological charter for a future society which is an exact replica of the present one.
    Ann Oakley (b. 1944)
