Amazing story on the eight wonder of the world and The Brothers Behind it...
Broadcast Date: Nov. 10, 1985
Once promoted as the "Eighth Wonder of the World," West Edmonton Mall is one of Alberta's primary tourist attractions. The men responsible for the monster size mall are the four Ghermezian brothers, who emmigrated from Iran in the 1960s. This colossal monument to conspicuous consumption has seen its share of controversy but the brothers stand behind their mall.
"When I walk through the centre here in Edmonton... 10 to 15 people, they jump at me, hug me, thank me for what I did and some of them even kiss me... people are happy," says Nader Ghermezian in this clip.
