Riocan Real Estate, owner of the Laird Drive shopping centre, is collaborating with a huge U.S. outlet mall owner, Tanger Outlet Centres. They will turn the small mall at Cookstown, Ontario into a much larger retail centre. Cookstown is on Highway 400 about 50 kilometres north of Toronto. Tanger will bring in more high-profile stores, do more advertising, and offer shuttle bus service from Toronto, according to Riocan.
