Shopping Center
Discussed at Ad
Group's Meeting
Greer Drew, owner of Drew's
Manstore in the Medford Shop
ping Center, discussed the
growth of the center and its
value to the entire business
market of the area at a meet
ing of the Southern Oregon Ad
club recently.
Formerly a resident of Kla
math Falls, Drew said he be
came interested in the new shop
ping center in 1958 whe nhe flin
ned to open a store in Medford.
Statistically, Drew stated, the
Medford Shopping Center is
classified as a regional busi
ness center because it draws
approximately 150.000 custom
ers from the geographical area
of southern Oregon and north
ern California. The Medford
Shopping Center will soon cover
240.000 square feet of land and
is considered the largest such
business center between Port
land and Sacramento.
Attributes Success
Drew attributes the success
of the shopping center to the
fact that new businesses were
established only as the public
need indicated and that the
choice of businesses resulted in
a well balanced buying power
offered by both local and na
tional companies.
The shopping center repre
sents a $3 million investment,
backed by the Equitable Life
Insurance company, with an
annual sales gross of about $12
million. Unusual in this type of
business enterprise, the mer
chants have realized a finan
cial success from the first year
and expect its continued growth.
Drew said he believed that be
ing close to the downtown shop
ping location is good for both
business areas, that the Med
ford Shopping Center has serv
ed as a compliment to the
downtown stores, each stimu
lating business of the other.
Many new stores are planned
in the near future, Drew said
A Medford Shopping Center
Merchants Association will be
formed, allowing a wider de
velopment of advertising promotion.
