Shopping in EdmontonShopping Malls Galore

AAA/Katie Broome
For the intrepid shopper, there is nothing like a trip to the West Edmonton Mall , housed in a 44-hectare (110-acre) building at 8882 170 St. N.W. Inside are more than 800 retail stores and dozens of fun things to do under one gigantic roof, including a water park, underground aquarium, ice rink and blacklight miniature golf course.

South Edmonton Common (1978 99 St. N.W.) offers about 130 hectares (320 acres) of retail space. The massive outdoor shopping complex at 23rd Avenue and Calgary Trail is home to more than 150 businesses, including IKEA, Tommy Hilfiger, Nike, Roots and Saks Fifth Avenue Off 5th. With more than 150 retailers, Southgate Centre (5015 111 St. N.W.) is South Edmonton's largest shopping center and includes Edmonton’s largest Hudson’s Bay department store.

Find deals near the airport at Premium Outlet Collection Edmonton International Airport (1 Outlet Collection Way). The complex, opened in summer 2018, counts Nike Factory Store, H&M, Old Navy Outlet and Designer Shoe Warehouse among its more than 100 stores. Luggage storage, flight status screens and boarding pass printing services are available for travelers en route to the airport or just arriving.

For those who want shopping on a less imposing scale, other popular malls include Kingsway Mall (109 Street and Kingsway N.W.) and Londonderry Mall (258 137 Ave. N.W. at 66 Street N.W.).

Find Deals Downtown

Downtown Edmonton offers boutiques and local restaurants as well as covered shopping areas joined by enclosed walkways or pedways. The Edmonton City Centre complex between 100 and 103 streets on 102 Avenue N.W. contains Hudson's Bay, a nine-screen theater and 110 other shops and places to eat among its four glittering floors.

Manulife Place (10180 101 St. N.W.) is a destination for designer boutiques. Rice Howard Way, an attractive outdoor pedestrian area lined with sidewalk seating and eateries, is downtown near 100 Street N.W. and 101a Street N.W.

At 102 Avenue and 97 Street N.W., the Chinatown Gate symbolizes friendship and welcomes visitors to Chinatown, which features several ethnic restaurants, shops and outdoor vendors selling fresh produce.

The 124 Street & Area commercial district, which extends from Jasper Avenue north to 111 Avenue N.W., is home to a wide variety of businesses, including the handful of art galleries and boutique shops comprising the 12-block Gallery Walk area.

Old Strathcona at Whyte Avenue (82 Avenue N.W. from 99 to 109 streets), the main outdoor shopping street on the south side of the city, has the look of historic Edmonton and offers boutiques, specialty shops, nearby restaurants, bistros and coffee bars.

AAA/Katie Broome
Don't forget that the major museums have interesting shops with items and vacation souvenirs sometimes impossible to find elsewhere. Of particular interest is the Alberta-branded shop in the visitor center at the Alberta Legislature Building, the gift shop inside the Royal Alberta Museum and the six period shops in Fort Edmonton Park.
