May Fashion Month came to a successful conclusion at Bay Street last month with both the retail outlets and the restaurants reporting increases in business, along with a 12 per cent increase in footfall throughout the shopping, leisure and entertainment complex in St George’s Bay.

Every weekend during the month-long event, a selection of Bay Street retailers created fashion displays alongside a range of weekend offers.

In addition, shoppers who paid using an HSBC POS at any Bay Street outlet during May were entered into a Shop & Win competition, with the prize being a trip to New York. The shop with the winning customer also had the extra incentive of a €500 voucher for a staff’s night out for their team, courtesy of HSBC Merchant Services.

The winner, Caroline Sammut, who made a purchase from Mexx, has a choice of two four-star New York hotels: The Roosevelt, which is situated in central New York and within walking distance of Grand Central Terminal, The New York Public Library and The Chrysler Building; or The New Yorker, which is near the famous Madison Square Garden, Times Square and the Empire State Building.
