About Moores
Clothing shopping is a fitting room trade as much as a browsing one, which is part of why Moores sits at 1940 Harvey Avenue in Kelowna rather than on a quiet side street. Harvey is the Highway 97 corridor through the city, the commercial spine that carries traffic between the Dilworth slopes, the mall district and the bridge, in a part of the city built for driving to, with wide frontages, deep lots and a steady stream of cars arriving from Rutland, Glenmore and points north.
A clothing store covers a range that shoppers do not always separate in their heads, from everyday basics like shirts, trousers and outerwear to more formal pieces where fit matters more than anything on the rack and alterations can become part of the purchase. If you are shopping for a specific date such as a wedding, a graduation or an interview, the useful questions are the ones about time: how long alterations take, whether a fitting needs an appointment, and how far ahead a larger order should be placed if several people need to be fitted at once. Ask those first and the rest of the trip gets simpler.
Harvey Avenue is straightforward to reach and awkward to cross, so it pays to note which side of the highway you need before setting out, because the median means an overshoot can cost several minutes. Parking sits in front of the buildings along this stretch. Traffic thickens at the end of the workday and through the summer visitor season, when the highway carries valley trips as well as city ones. Mid morning on a weekday is the calmer window for anyone who wants room in a change room.
