Retail Council Has Its Sights Set On Saint John

Now that Fredericton's on board with a change in Sunday shopping, can Saint John be that far behind? Fredericton has decided to let the storeowners decide when they should open and close on Sundays. 

Jim Cormier of the Retail Council of Canada in the Atlantic Region tells CHSJ News he had another meeting with the Saint John Board of Trade's Retail Committee recently. He says they had a productive meeting and now the Board of Trade, which came out against earlier, has a better idea what the Retail Council is asking for.
 

Cormier says what the Retail Council wants is choice, not necessarily longer hours because some storeowners may stick with the status quo.
