Thunder Bay Boxing Day 2009

Recession notwithstanding, hordes of bargain hunters braved the cold Saturday morning to flock to the shopping centers of Thunder Bay where they expect deep post-holiday discounts to meet them. In Intercity Shopping Centre alone, the shoppers were already crowding the mall well before it opened. These early shoppers were no doubt ready to rumble with the thought of being able to make the best of every bargain they can get their hands on by being on the location well before others can even think about it.

When the centre did finally open, the expected shopping frenzy from locals and even out-of-towners shifted to high gear with arm-to-arm shopping action.

Although the entire day can be considered a success, it didn’t go by without its own challenges. Shoppers noted that the drive to the centre could have been a lot better especially for those who have come from out of town. These shoppers had to go through unplowed roads forcing them to get stuck for some time. When they luckily reached the shopping centre, parking is nowhere to be found – as expected for many locals.

However, with no physical injuries reported from the event, this year’s Thunder Bay Boxing Day is no doubt something to be remembered especially for everyone that got a hold of their bargains.
