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!!! -

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...

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.....?Listed in: Northwest Calgary Shopping, Shopping malls in Calgary

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.Listed in: Hanging out in the NW, Who needs Mashable?

Market Mall is where I go when I have to go to a mall. It's the only mall that makes me want to smash other people less than I do at Chinook. Malls make me feel bad about myself, they make me feel needy and depressed that I don't have things I don't need. They are temples of greed, but Market Mall somehow doesn't trigger these feelings as much, maybe because there is a lot of natural light there. I still hate it though, just less hate, maybe 10% less.

The lack of a nearby train station means Market Mall enjoys one huge advantage over Chinook Center: teens. I am no statistician, but on an average trip to Market, I notice about 35% less teens there than at any given time at Chinook, and it makes for a nicer shopping experience. The mall is laid out like a giant ring so you can do all of your shopping in one lap without need of a second level. The store selection is better at Chinook, and ever since Play closed two years, there has been little reason for me to come here other than a change of scenery from Chinook. However, it does have decent food court options (including UMI sushi), and Kat usually has better luck in Market's female-targeted stores than at other Calgary malls. I have yet to find the fabled underground garage: I usually come off Shaganappi, so I suspect the entrance is on the opposite side.

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. -

Market Mall has slowly been gaining ground as my favourite mall in Calgary over the years. First it had the renovation, and almost all of my favourite stores moved in right beside each other. Aritzia, Lululemon, Pusch: there are a bunch of cute shops located right within the same stretch of mall. And a few of the shops are unique to Market Mall, at least in Calgary.
It's a decent size of mall too. It can take a day to thoroughly traverse it, but because of its size and layout, you can get some excellent powershopping done in just a few hours. The layout accommodates a good flow of traffic and it is usually steadily busy, unlike Chinook which tends to be packed every day of the week. Also, I find that the staff in Chinook tend to be less harried and more relaxed, which makes for a much better shopping experience. -

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..... -

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!

It has taken some time for my to adjust to the apparent lack of traditional malls in Calgary. I lived in Edmonton for several years, so I was spoiled by malls everywhere (not just the infamous West Edmonton Mall). Calgary has certainly focused more on developing shopping areas, but it's not the same.
So although the selection of malls is limited, I do really like Market Mall and would easily select it over any mall in Edmonton (including WEM). Market Mall is a good size, with lots of stores scattered throughout. Perhaps most importantly, all of these stores are sitting above an underground parkade. I can't tell you how invaluable that parkade is to keep the car warm in winter and cool in the summer.
I'm also a big fan of the food court in Market Mall. It has a great selection and lots of room for sitting. They have a little sushi place too that is really quite good. They also have a unique crepe shop, that I'm ashamed to admit hasn't yet seen my business. But I have heard wonderful things about it, and watched others enjoy it from afar (creep much?)
Market Mall is also the only place in Calgary that you will find an Apple Store. Almost always busy, I suggest anyone curious about their latest technology drop in and check it out. It's a fun short visit. Finally, Market Mall has a Moxies inside, which in my opinion is one of the best in Calgary. We've been several times and enjoyed our stay each time.
So if you are looking for something to do this weekend, and don't feel like venturing out to the new super mall in Balzac, stop by Market Mall! -

I hadn't been to Market Mall since I left town (5 years ago) so I was SHOCKED when I saw how they've renovated it!
It's now more a mini version of Chinook Mall and the selection of stores is fantastic! I love the cute little florist right by the Starbucks & Cinnzeo, I love the fact that they now have a Bath & Body Works in the mall and I love that it's not usually as packed as Chinook.
The one thing that is blatantly missing however is a movie theatre. I mean, who doesn't love to shop with a movie break in between?!?!? Well, maybe they'll get on it, but regardless, it's still a MUCH better mall than before and extremely accommodating to everyone's shopping needs. -

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've been going to Market Mall since I was a little girl and man have they ever made some awesome renovations! Along with the cleanliness of it all, they generally have very good service and good store choices. Expect to be spending money when you go there ! Market mall has the works of anything you could possibly need. It has teen friendly stores too such as American Eagle, American Apparel, West 49 and makeup stores such as (the bay), mac, lush and many others. It's a decently sized mall, not near as confusing or huge and annoying as chinook (I dont like how all the stores you want to get to are not near each other at all) wth a large food court. I love this mall.
