Market Mall

Great mall, not that big though. Lots of good sprees and little kiosks and a great food court

Best mall in Calgary. Well managed and well maintained. It’s always clean and staff is very helpful/​professional.

Been coming here since i was a kid. Since its the only major mall in the upper northwest it has every store you need. Its not big like chinook or have the same amount of stores but many quality stores here and very few stores i dont shop at.

Market Mall has it all; Department/​clothing stores, boutiques, pharmacies, grocery stores, sporting goods, and a variety of choices when it comes to satisfying your culinary desires… dining, bistros, deserts, coffee shops, etc. The mall also has an amazing food-​court, so plenty of options there as well.
The layout of the property is very well planned, and with those nifty electronic map/​store finders conveniently spread throughout, you’ll never get lost. The Guest Services and security staff are also very friendly, so if you’re in need of assistance, they’re always willing to help. The mall also has plenty of restroom and nursing facilities.
If you’re driving, there’s ample parking both above and underground. If you opt for public transit, both Brentwood and Crowfoot C-​Train stations are nearby, with several bus routes that commute to and fro. Market Mall is also in close proximity to the University of Calgary.
Oh yeah, and if you’ve got pre-​school children… no problem, as Market Mall has «Monkey Around», an indoor playground that will keep your toddler thoroughly entertained.
The property is also very well maintained both inside and out, thanks to the hands-​on maintenance and operations crew. I’ve had the opportunity to chat with a few of the guys on more than one occasion. Very knowledgeable, outgoing staff.

This is my favourite mall in Calgary. It has most stores you can think of and has a very good food court, too lol. The underground parking is a plus. There is furniture, clothing, and so many more stores to fit everyone’s needs! Better than Chinook I think.

This mall has a sprinkle of everything, which is nice. It’s a mid level mall, so no LV or Chanel stores here, not even a Holt Renfrew. The perks are an underground parking, a kid’s play place and a great food court. The mall itself has a new extension section which is a stark contrast to the old sections. This is the only mall to still have a pet store in it, so it’s a great stop to oogle at puppies and kittens. Stores range from clothing to furniture, so there is something for everyone.

This mall has a bit of everything for the whole family. Cant go wrong with Market mall.

I am here a lot now in the dead of winter just to be able to get out and walk. It has been a brutally cold season and without Market Mall, I would have been destined to other Malls father away or ultimately, cabin fever.
The Mall has grown on me and I frequent many more of the stores now. I love that this Mall has a Shoppers Drug Mart and 2 Starbucks! And of course, a Second Cup, home of the best soy chai latte. I pet the birds at the Pet Store, check out the little dogs, get my rings polished at Mappins. Love the Body Shop and Bath and Body. And Lulu Lemon. $$$
The food court has interesting choices with decent sushi but we never eat here. Just do take out occasionally.
Target has opened up here too.
I wish it had a flower shop.
Overall, a great way to spend an afternoon when you cannot be outside! Lots of room to walk and the spaces are clean!
It has underground parking but on the freezing cold days, forget it, it is a mob scene down there trying to find a spot!
4 stars!

The mall was about a 5 minute drive from the University area where I was staying and less than $ 10 cab ride. There’s the underground parking which was busy on a weeknight but still spots available. Great to have for cold winter days.
The mall is very spacious which is great when it’s busy and you aren’t boxed in and can walk around others if you are in a rush. I like how there’s seating throughout for taking a break or if your shopping companions doesn’t want to go into the store with you. There’s also a kid play area which seems fun for indoor play on a cold days. The mall itself was modern and clean too.
I ate a few times in the food court and there’s good variety of foods. There’s a lovely fireplace in the middle of the seating and it’s cozy if you are lucky enough to snag a table beside it. Otherwise there is a plenty of comfortable seating.
I didn’t walk the whole mall but went to some stores; health food store, bookstore, and a few clothing stores. The staff at the information desk were friendly and helpful to call a cab for us.
If I lived in Calgary, this is one mall that I’m sure I would frequent.

Easily one of my favorite malls in Calgary. Great selection of stores which are anchored by The Bay. The hallways are bright and spacious and the very high ceilings probably contribute to this so I never feel claustrophobic as I do in so many malls. The management does a great job keeping it clean & safe.
Having one of only two Apple stores in the city is a real plus. But as many have stated, the parking lot lacks sufficient access points and suffers from insufficient parking most weekends, especially at Christmas. It losses one star for parking.
Even when the parking lot is full, It is always a pleasure to shop at Market Mall. I never feel crowded and overrun by the masses as I often due at other malls, notably, Chinook.

This is one of the better malls in Calgary. I may be biased because it is close to my house. I visit all the time.
One thing that i don’t like is the access to the parking lot. There are not enough entrances and exits on the parking lot. Because it is on Shaganappi Blvd there is only 1 entrance on the main road so you have to go to the side or the back to get in there. then there are lineups to turn in etc… very frustrating.
But once you’re in the mall its great. A big circle (watch out you might get dizzy going round and round in circles). The food court has a great selection and lots of places to sit. I’ve never been standing around waiting to sit in there.
There is also a good selection of stores and of course one of my favorites is the Apple store. They just moved to a new location in the mall and probably doubled their size.
Get’s a thumbs up from me!

Really should be the first mall choice for Consumptavores. Good atmosphere, asymmetrical design makes it feel recognizable yet different, and hey — it’s in the NorthBest…

I’m a tad biased here because I have grown up across the street from this mall, but I have to say, I love Market Mall. It’s my go-​to mall in Calgary. It has just about everything/​every store you need and i find the layout to be very efficient. For example, all the women’s stores that I want to shop at are all located at one end, where as all the kids stores are at the other end. To me, this is excellent.
They have a great, huge food court with a tone of selection. The place is always very clean and I’ve never had a problem finding a table.
The only thing I wish was that there were more washrooms. I find I have to go pretty far to use a washroom, which drives me crazy.
Happy Shopping.

This is the place i visit when i think to buy some nice clothes and want to have a sea food. This place is far off from downtown but it is worth going that far. This place is different from the other malls. Not so crowded even during weekends and good thing is that this mall is open till 8pm on saturdays while many others don’t.
As this is located near university of calgary, i think that’s the reason they have a lot of youth stuff.
Newyork fries (butter chicken poutine) is especially good at this place compared to other newyork fries in other malls. Joey’s sea food is another good place for sea food where we can find shrimp, calamari, fish and recently they have added oyster to their menu too and they all taste so good with the sauce they give along with them. yummy!!!

Market Mall is one of the big malls in Calgary, and when you walk around in there you definitely sense that it is. In some ways that is good, selection, variety etc… but in other ways not… What I dont like about MM is that you are essentially walking around in one giant circle with a few intersecting hallways, and there are times that it feels a bit cavernous. With the big space though comes plenty of shopping options — all the big brands are there American Eagle, Old navy, H&M, The Bay etc… as well as a fairly large food court. This is also home to a very sad Zellers… (see my review). There is plenty of parking here, but can be pretty crazy, like an episode of Canadas Worst Driver. Also strangely, they have a Homesense store kind of stuck in the parking lot.
Second to Chinook, I think its safe to say that MM is the second busiest mall in Calgary, keep that in mind on a Saturday shopping trip.

It has Starbucks, the Apple Store, heated underground parking, and a decent food court. What more can you ask for? Oh yeah and the majority of the hallway forms a ring so you can see almost the whole mall and end up where you started without doubling back. Bonus!

To Market to Market to buy a… well, I don’t know what exactly, but I’m sure whatever it is you’re looking for, you’re likely to find it in Market Mall.
Ever since moving to Calgary, this has been my mall of choice. It’s got a great selection of stores, it’s always clean, and I’ve never found it to be as crowded as Chinook. I’ve always found stores here to have better selection than their counter parts in other areas of the city as well (especially lulu).
The drawback for Market Mall is the parking lot on the south side. I’ve found it to be a bit of a bottleneck for traffic, and now they’ve got some cement barricades blocking off a couple of the places you could once turn into.
Now, to Market to Market to buy???

Two words: Apple Store. OK, I’m exaggerating. Not as much scope as Chinook Centre (with its LEGO Store!) but a good selection of the usual suspects (a Zellers and a Tommy Hilfiger in the same complex, wow). A Purdy’s, a Marble Slab, and a Yogen Fruz within shouting distance of one another – need I say more? And if you want inexpensive studio portraits a cut above what you get at a Sears or Wal-​Mart photo mill, there’s a bright, cheery Kidsphoto just a step away from Umi Sushi Express and Kernels at the outer fringes of the food court area. Nice.

I don’t know if malls have designations, but if they did, I would classify this as the Mommy and Professional’s kinda mall.
While Chinook may be the most popular mall in Calgary, the hidden gem is definitely Market Mall. Mostly because it is far away from the C-​Train line, which means teens have to make an extra effort to just hang out there.
The mall is clean, bright and has a great variety of stores! Right now, it is home to the only Apple store in the entire city. It also has many of my favourites like H&M, Banana Republic, American Apparel, Gap and The Bay. Yes, I said the Bay.
Women will also have a great selection of clothing stores to choose from, but given my gender, I’ll let someone else decide which are good and which are not.
If I had to warn you about something, it would that there a lot of moms and strollers. I’m not saying this is a bad thing, but just be warned. You think you’ve seen a lot of babies and children, but I assure you, until you go to Market Mall, you really haven’t.

Market Mall is slightly better than Chinook in my mind. I like the circular-​style layout and the stores seem a little better. They certainly have some of the better clothing stores in the city here.
It also feels clean and new. It’s more upscale than some of the other malls in town. They actually have lots of parking and I’ve enjoyed my trips to this place. The food court has a good selection, as well…
