Business is good for downtown shops, despite provincial economic downturn
Medicine Hat, AB – It has been a tough go for city businesses affected by the economic downturn over the past three years but a number of downtown retailers say their shops are doing well.
Ashley Walker, owner of Wild Clover Clothing, said her business is relatively new but since opening a year and a half ago, the shop has been well supported.
“I do think there is a niche here in Medicine Hat that are looking for small businesses and there are not a ton of shopping options here,” said Walker. “This community is very community orientated so I really find people want to support local than going to the big city and getting something else or shopping online.”
