The mini stock cars of Radio Control Racers Edmonton are swerving down the track at their new storefront in the Bonnie Doon Shopping Centre.

The club is one of the unconventional tenants setting up shop in the shopping center, which alternative mall foot traffic numbers Control Edmonton took over a storefront in the building last month. President Randy Van said the first few weeks have been a massive success for both club and the mall.

"It's been great for the community," he said. "Everybody that lives close to the mall is coming just to watch races the Edmonton Train Collectors Association, a model train club, Africart, a locally-owned African clothing and art store, and Priya Fashions, a clothing store specializing in Indian and Islamic bridal fashion.

The shopping center's general manager Tammy Abbott said the pandemic forced the mall, which opened in 1968, to change the business.

"We've had to look out of the box and bring new concepts to the plate," she said. "Consumer patterns have changed, so we have to change."

According to Statistics Canada, the number of Canadians shopping online rose from 73% in 2018 to 82% in 2020 e-commerce than in-person sales, according to the most recent data.

Changing spending patterns are causing flagship stores to fail at malls across Edmonton Co-op grocery store in the Mill Woods Town Centre closed this January. In the same month, The Toys "R" Us store in the West Edmonton Mall announced it would close, as did the Sport Chek in the City Centre Mall location.

As well as boutique stores and local clubs, Bonnie Doon is boosting business through the experience attractions center shoppers admired art displays throughout the building, listened to live music, and talked to local artists about their work.

The Night of Artists organization also runs a full-time art gallery in the space founder believes the mall's unique approach is restoring connections between neighbors, which are whittling away.

"It slows people down, and I think we need more [opportunities] where people stop and smell the roses and stop and look at the art," he said.

The Bonnie Doon Shopping Centre also operates an outdoor ice rink to attract families during winter months and a community vegetable garden in a storefront.

"[The garden] started during COVID as a team building exercise for our office staff, and we quickly realized that it takes many hands to grow vegetables," said Abbott.

"Volunteers come to take care of the plants, harvest them, and plant more fresh produce at Edmonton's The Mustard Seed and Youth Empowerment and Support Services.

Roxx, a store that sells semi-precious stones, fossils, and tiny carved penguins, fairies, and dragons, claims the new strategies are boosting business.

"Us personally have had a major influx of more traffic," said Roxx part-owner Jacqueline Bursey definitely may not be having as much success as us."

Mall organizers expect the Valley Line LRT, featuring a stop at the shopping center, will help retail businesses to build on recent momentum.

The Bonnie Doon Shopping Centre has invested 2 million in a transit plaza linking the mall, and the LRT station Valley Line is two years behind schedule and has not yet announced an opening date for the line.

Emotions can be fairly difficult to mask. Without uttering a word, the face communicates the most honest reflection of our thoughts. A smile, a frown, a raised eyebrow all send messages that require no verbal explanation. A calm face without a doubt shows stability in its truest form. A very inviting character. Calmness . . . . . #khalaijimase #kjism #africa #africanartist #africart #blackart #africancontemporaryart #africanart #tribalart #africantribalart #tribal #portraitpainting #figurativart #blackartspace #contemporaryafricanart #contemporaryart #africanculture #africanhistory #africanornaments #africanstudies #blackhistory #contemporaryart #africanhistory #details #veil #hijab #hijabstyle #hijabart (at Riyadh, Saudi Arabia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CEC5Uqli88V/?igshid=5m547lar9bmi

When my creation is complete, I spend a lot of time absorbing it into my mind, my heart, my soul…memorizing every mark, every colour and from every angle. Doing this washes away any dull feelings that I have. It cleanses me…gives me life.
