When you go shopping in Canada, you see a lot of similar stores to the ones you see in the United States. There are enough brand names that are successful in both countries. But one top mall-related store you haven't seen in Canada until last week was Victoria's Secret.
The first retail Victoria Secret outlet opened last week at the West Edmonton Mall in the Alberta capital. Shoppers waited in line 4 hours before the store opened, starting their vigil at 5 am.
The Toronto area will get three stores, two in the city and one suburban location.
You might win a bet from a friend if they tell you that the Mall of America outside Minneapolis is the biggest mall on the continent. West Edmonton Mall is the largest shopping mall in North America and the fifth largest in the world.
This will be contrary to stereotypes that it's so cold in Canada that people wear long johns all year long.
