Reflecting on 120 years of hot dogs, pizza, shoe repairs in a Vancouver Island mall
News Story by Black Press Media
On the surface, a hot dog vendor, a restaurateur and a cobbler might not appear to have much in common, but three business owners in Langford’s Westshore Town Centre, who have amassed almost 120 years of trade between them, definitely have one thing in common: community support.
First opened in 1984, the Langford mall has been home to fast-food joint Orange Julius, family restaurant Romeo’s, and shoe repair store Quality Cobbler – that’s too many hot dogs, pizzas and shoe repairs to count.
“We keep each other going,” says Mark Kinnersley, the familiar face behind Orange Julius.
