St. Catharines Factory Outlet Flea Market — Attraction in St. Catharines

So utterly disgusted, with my experience at the flea market last Sunday. I brought my parents and entered with a dollar fee for each of us, and we were only able to take the heat of that building for less than four minutes. When I looked above the rafters, there are clearly ceiling fans that could cool the place, but unfortunately they didn’t seem to be on or working, not sure which. Not to mention clearly the exhaust fans, on the side of the building, were not working either. Do you think that patrons could tolerate the smothering temperatures in that building is completely absurd? Not to mention the people who are vendors and rely on customers for their business, are suffocating in that building. I can go to the Pen Centre for free to spend the afternoon walking around and grabbing a snack of french fries in an full air conditioned building. The property manager of this building should be absolutely ashamed of themselves. I’m sure their offices are air-conditioned ….there’s no way anybody could stay in there for 6 to 8 hours a day in that temperature. Don’t waste your time going there. It is not worth it, and not enjoyable. I wonder if they have heat in the winter? Something tells me that the property manager does not care about the patrons or the vendors. So...

Upon entry today there was a Christmas in July set up with a man in a Santa Claus suit. He motioned to my friend and I to come and take a picture with him, we didn’t really want to but he kept insisting. He kept telling us to sit on his lap and we said no we will stand beside you, he kept saying sit on my lap, when he grabbed me and pulled me over and tried to literally pull me down on to his lap. I said NO several times and that he was being too agressive. I am a 37 year old woman I should not be having to tell a grown man “NO” more than once. This was extremely inappropriate of him and was extremely uncomfortable and disrespectful. I am extremely disgusted by this experience and you should be discussing with this man that he should not be touching people when he is told not to. Saying no once...

why are we paying an entrance fee ???? we are there to shop and spend money but that doesn't mean there should be a fee to get in, imagine pen center charges entrance fee or outlet mall. Enough taking advantage of people .I suggest for one weekend we boycott this place if they don't get it, another week again, until they get it. The vendors already paying hefty rent for one day a week but the greed never stops it is obvious. There are ones charge fee and there are ones don't, locally proudoms ,jordan hollow,so it is a choice for them and for the ones who chooses to charge it should re consider ,at the end of the day people will realize and react ,again if one supermarket stars to charge fee to get in ,as customers what will we do? Stop going to...
