Outlet store makes for a popular tourist destination
During the summer months, the Roots outlet store on Lundy’s Lane in Niagara Falls, Ontario, has played host to an ever-increasing number of international bus tours, as vacationers get some retail therapy during their visit to one of the Seven Wonders of the World. It seems word has gotten out that the one of the best photo-ops in town is that of the Roots store located at the Canada One Factory Outlet Mall.
“It started with a busload of campers visiting from the United States,” says Judy Olmstead, Keyholder. “A couple of kids started posing in front of our Roots outlet sign and using the Canadian flags as props. Once they started taking pictures, everyone began to do the same thing and it’s continued ever since.”
With the high summer traffic in the mall, it’s not unusual to have large families come in and take pictures in front of the famous beaver logo. Flanked by flags, the popular photo backdrop highlights the iconic Canadian image of Roots.
Staff at the store have become adept as impromptu photographers for couples who want to take pictures home of their Niagara Falls trip, or rather, reminders of a truly Canadian shopping experience at Roots.
