Shopping in Calgary.

Yah, shopping here used to be a pretty straight forward and easy thing to do.

That was before the city started to spread out to the point where it's footprint is now equal to that of New York City.

Of course there are not as many people in Calgary and there in lies the problem.

Not too many years ago there were basically 3 major locations and these 3 are still going strong, and they are:

the North Hill Mall

the Chinook Mall

The Down Town Spots


Then in the first really big boom around early 1980 the developers moved in and as the city expanded and they added

the Sunridge Mall

the Southcentre Mall

the Market Mall

More recent additions are:

Bankers Hall

Eau Claire Market

the Marda Loop area

and the 17th Avenue SW area

and the 4th Street SW area

Another fun area is the Inglewood area.

Oh, let's not forget the Mount Royal Village Shops

The latest one , and still under construction, is the

Deerfoot Meadows Area

with a great line-up of big box stores.

And all this will pale in comparison by what's under construction now and what's on the drawing boards to come on stream in the very near future.

I know I have not mentioned a number of specialty and regional areas at this time such as the Co-op Centres and the 32nd Avenue NE or 130th avene SE locations.

I may be adding to this page as we move along.

This activity is as wide spread as the city itself and while some enjoy this, there are those of us who think it's insane.

Of course now there is a far more convenient way to shop

We are all well aware that online shopping is accelerating at an enormous pace.

In the USA alone sales are expected to top $200 Billion in 2007!

Just about anyone you know is buying something on line these days.

Does it not make sense to buy on your own mall with millions of products in well over 1000 stores?

Of course it does!....and look at the benefits you get:

1) You get rebates on all your purchases.

2) You also help a child in need while shopping.

3) You'll never pay a cent....EVER

There is nothing to loose and rebates to be received on your own family purchases, while you are supporting a very worthwhile charity.
