CEO East and West Classes met Northland Mall Manager, Jama Ebenezer. She gave a brief overview of mall ownership, the struggles with major flatline wind damages in recent years, and the challenges that came with COVID and online shopping. Next students determined their booth location and looked over mall fixtures that are available to borrow. Jama's willingness to accommodate, along with the mall's space and available parking have made Northland a great choice for the trade show. Come see all 34 student businesses on April 23 and 24, 4:30-7:30 pm and 4:30-6:30 pm, respectively.
