The curtain came up on the newest addition to Shoppers Mall on Monday as motorized stuffed animal rides by Stuffy Riders kicked off their initial one month trial from a kiosk inside the Mall entrance adjacent Sobeys.
Available to rent to Mall visitors small and large are a host of 16 ride-on âStuffyâ animals capable of carrying up to 375 pounds of rider through a designated area of the Mall at speeds that top out comparable to that of walking.
Below are a handful of pics I was able to capture on a Mall visit on Monday morning.
Early observation is that folks- Riders and mall patrons- seem about powerless to hold back smiles in what is a pretty big change to an otherwise low-key mall atmosphere. For those curious for more details including pricing, please check out last weekâs post that shared the news of the upcoming addition to the cityâs largest indoor shopping space.
