April fools’
The Glocester Business Association announced on Tuesday, April 1 that after months of planning, they could reveal that Glocester will be home to Rhode Island’s first-ever underwater shopping plaza.
“That’s right—starting next year, businesses will have the opportunity to set up shop in our brand-new Scuba Mall, located at the bottom of the Bowdish Reservoir!” GBA noted on social media. “Imagine browsing your favorite local stores while fish swim by, or grabbing a coffee in a café with waterproof mugs.”
“Membership applications for the first wave of businesses open today—just bring your own snorkel,” it noted.
The GBA and NRI NOW both wish everyone a “Happy April 1st.”
