The Mall of America (Bloomington, Minnesota) is getting in
on the North Dakota oil boom. They are running advertisements and YouTube
videos to attract the rough-necks to “come on down.” A lot more to do at MOA
than in Watford City, ND and many of the oil workers have left their families
at home in other states to come to work in ND. So “come on down” and meet your
family at the mall and stay in one of their fine hotels for a long weekend or
longer.
According to Sara Coleman, director of the North Dakota
Tourism Division "The wages are good. There's a lot of discretionary
income there..."
BTW, the You Tube video also ends with a feel-good family
reunion photo and a message on the screen that there is "No sales tax on
clothing"....
Free market business, ain't it grand?
