Signs of the pandemic's toll on retail are everywhere in Corner Brook's Valley Mall, and they all say the same thing: For Lease.
It's property manager Tammy Joyce's job to switch those signs over to storefronts, but for more than a year now, that's been a tough sell. Prior to COVID-19's arrival in Newfoundland and Labrador, she was in talks to bring five new tenants to the Valley Mall and its sister property across the street, the Millbrook Mall.
