February 27, 2021 - 9:30 AM When Roy Hulse wanted to expand his Scallywags clothing business in the late 1990s, he wasn’t keen on following the Mexican stylings of nearby Mission Park Shopping Centre. He was pleasantly surprised when Kelowna City Hall approved his design for a new building on the corner of Pandosy Street and West Avenue that was dubbed Scallywags Junction and is still highly visible today with its striking Marmalade Cat Café on the corner. It transformed the neighbourhood after it opened in the winter of 2000. “It really sort of lifted the local area with this new building,” Hulse told iNFOnews.ca. “When we actually took down the hoarding – there was plastic hoarding all the way around it so it could be worked on all through the winter — all of a sudden there was this multicoloured building, sort of gingerbready style or Colonial style. It was, hopefully, going to fit in with the slightly Mexican theme.”
