Its not just the size of the mall, its upper class exclusivity none of us really know about. There are stores, bars and restaurants that are by invitation only or its impossible to get a table reservation, and private or exclusive events that money might not even buy you in. Granted, I don't think everyone is Lauren Pronger, but living in Winnipeg and driving 6 hrs to a mall isn't really going to be the selling point for Winnipeg. I think Winnipeg is going to struggle unless they are a winning franchise. Winning will solve a lot of problems. Losing will be, well... Edmonton/Prongergate/Nylandergate/et al.
