Chilliwack’s Cottonwood Mall is getting a significant new clothing retailer.
Announced on Facebook Friday morning, Old Navy will be moving in for February of 2021, joining Save on Foods as new tenants in the 46 year old mall, which opened in 1974.
Old Navy will be moving in behind Save on Foods in the space formerly occupied by Target, and before it Zellers.
That space will eventually accommodate two additional tenants.
