Giftland reverts to $1,000 entrance fee for holiday period

One day after the Giftland Mall announced the implementation of a $3,000 redeemable entrance fee for the Christmas season, a decision was made to revert to the $1,000 fee in place last year.

The fee is aimed at limiting the number of loiterers who flock the mall in the days leading up to Christmas so that shoppers are accommodated in an environment that is both safe and comfortable during the busy Christmas season.

“I don’t want people to feel that Giftland is against young people, but we have to do this to ensure that things do not get out of hand,” said Chairman of the Giftland Mall, Roy Beepat,  during a press conference on Monday.
