We were fortunate to have Sue Oxarart, Director of Marketing for Ontario Mills, speak to our group at WEREP (West End Real Estate Professionals), on March 2nd. Sue gave us a wealth of information and some interesting tidbits of information; did you know that there are 8,614 parking spaces, 101 handicap spaces, a parking lot size of 73 ACRES?? Also, the oval track inside the mall measures about 9/10 of a mile...for you walkers out there. The first year alone, it's been there 10 years now (can you believe it?), it created about 6,500 jobs at over $65million. The construction created 2,500 new jobs. Tax revenues to the City, County, and State have exceeded over millions of dollars. On a typical Saturday, there are over 90,000 people frequenting the mall.
New stores coming in 2007:
Victoria's Secret, Banana Republic, Lady Footlocker, Samsonite Luggage, Oakley, Via Havana Cigars and more.
Abercrombie & Fitch Outlet and Hollister Outlet are the only ones in Southern California!
New Neighbors:
