Nope.

As always, I'd much rather not deal with the lines and pay full price for whatever I buy. Especially when I am buying something high end, usually its going to be a luxury item, there is no reason why I would inconvenience myself and anger myself to get a deal on something like that. You can either afford it or not. If you have to hunt for deals and shit on $150 shirts, then chances are you should be shopping at winners for the time being until you can afford to blow money on this sort of stuff.

Also it's interesting you point out the fire problem. It's half the other reason I hate this project. As someone who works on a lot of fire protection systems all over the country, I was choked this is an outdoor mall, cause there is hardly any sprinklers... :lawl:

It's ok b/c there will be many China parents letting their kids shit and piss by the tree or bush thus putting out fire or making it smell of shit.

Christy Clark is probably so pumped about all this awesome minimum wage job creation to keep our super awesome economy just flying high.

the outlet is on musqueam land. anyone with a status card is going to make a killing getting stuff for tax free for their "new" chinese friends. :lawl:

china > yoga :lawl:

is vancouver that bad now? I left van 3 years ago (moved to shanghai china lol) and it's actually not that bad here in shanghai, pretty clean in fact. Aside from the dusty streets and occasional bad smog, it's actually pretty tidy. Heading back to van in aug for a few weeks to check it out, see how my countrymen has ruined my hometown haha.

Exactly. I bet if some kind of car accessories superstore went in there, people on here would be singing praises when at the end of the day, a set of rims is just as useless as a designer handbag when it comes to meeting one's needs in life.

That lady would've gotten trampled over if it was Black Friday.

Lets all bum-rush Coach for 50% off $200 wallets! :ilied:

Absolutely no interest going there to shop. Only thing I'm interested at that fucking mall is:

Ugh reminds me of boxing day and Hong Kong, no thanks.

I'll just make do with shopping online

I have to go to the airport tomorrow to pick up some family -_- going to be fun -_-

The long term jobs are all minimum wage but there were 100's of tradesmen working on the project for a couple years who aren't minimum wage.

Personally I think it's a terrible location for an outlet mall and I'll never go there but what the fuck do I know.

keeps the richlanders in away from vancouver, sure! :troll:

Should have push them back. Once you been to China you know how to do it right. Coz if you don't you will never get to where/what you want.

creating one million jobs by 2022 :troll:

The construction has actually only been about 14 months so far, i'm not counting january and february when the project broke ground and there was like 5 people on site.

It certainly will end up around 2 years by the time all the contractors are off site and deficiencies are completed, but i'd say the 100's of tradespeople you are referring to would have only been there for maybe 12 months of the project. The rest of the time there would be less than 50.

I know a few guys on that project, and they only took the job to stay in town during the summer of 2014, and be able to go home to their families. Otherwise those guys make shit money in town, they would much rather be up north if they could.

Nope. Musqueam has a reserve on Sea Island, but it's not close to where the outlet mall is. Looks like the Chinese still need to make friends with the Squamish if they want to score tax-free deals at Park Royal.

People running to a coach store? Coach? COACH? Wow.. it's coach! Makes me think of people running to McDonald's for $0.69 cheeseburgers. I hope I never go to this place..

I work at the Canada Post at the end of Ferguson Road... my coworkers were complaining about the crazy amount of traffic yesterday, I don't have to come in until Tuesday but I am already not looking forward to it. Why the mall's designers didn't have the foresight to add more lanes to that tiny access road is beyond me, considering all the "time-sensitive" companies and their accompanying 18-wheelers that work on Ferguson (UPS, Kenan jet fuels, Canada Post, etc.)...

They already have plans to expand the mall by another 135,000 square feet in 2017.

I wonder how long this initial rush is going to last, although I'd expect traffic to at least remain pretty bad around there this whole weekend.

Can anyone fill us in on how it is out there today?

does this mean it's gonna take me extra long to get to the dog park? crud

A stampede of people driving to this outlet causes some flights to be delayed.

Why am I not surprised that this happens nears Richmond? You get poor transportation planning combined with people looking for a "deal" on designer stuff to cause this mess.

It's not like it was a 50% sale on Armani, Prada, Versace, etc. :lawl:
