Salvation Army benefits from Glenfield Mall’s busy festive season

2021 has started off well for Glenfield Mall, with owner Dallas Pendergrast reporting that the popular mall has enjoyed record days of foot traffic, going against the trend of many retail areas.

“We were thrilled with how busy we were through the November-December pre-Christmas period and this has continued in January. We never stop improving the mall, adding variety, and customers obviously love what we are doing. We are very happy about being well supported and positive about the year ahead.”
As a result of the busy pre-Christmas period Glenfield Mall has once again been able to make a considerable donation to the Salvation Army, funds that have come from the Christmas gift wrapping service that the mall had in place once again in December. Dallas says this is the fifth year that Salvation Army has been the recipient.
“We love doing this for the Salvation Army, but the real kudos should go to our community who make the gold coin donations. We employ around 12 young people during the busy pre-Christmas period to do the gift wrapping and it is entirely up to the customer how much they feel this service is worth. Clearly our shoppers are very generous, enabling us to pass on the donation of $3000 to our local Salvation Army.”
Dallas also reports further enhancements for Glenfield Mall in 2021. These are on the back of Chemist Warehouse opening their big new 600 square metre store late last year.
“We have a focus on increasing our service business offering and Chemist Warehouse has really provided a boost in that regard. They are open extended hours, 9am to 9pm like Countdown and The Warehouse, when much of the mall is closed. We are excited to have Smile Dental and The Cosmetic Clinic opening in coming months, further enhancing our service offerings.”
Great work Glenfield Mall!
