An online review of a local clown says: “Not what I had hoped for Disappointed. We agreed he would bring balloons for $20. He showed up with 3 or 4 saying one got away from him.

There used to be one out in Spruce Grove I think. Might have been a 'Met' store before that or after. It was real similar to Zellers. Having said that I don't remember there being Zellers food courts. Funny what different people remember.
