Yes, it is actually a lot quieter during the weekends. This mostly due to the downtown core layout and how downtown becomes a ghost town past 6pm on a Friday. This is not necessarily a bad thing, as it makes it easier to find parking during the weekends. If you try go during the workday then you have to really pay the absurd downtown parking rates, so public transport is recommended. There is a wide variety of stores for you inside, from The Bay, HMV, EBgames, Holt Renfrew, Gap, Shopper's Drugmart, and more. There are also 2 food courts and a Tim Hortons located in the middle of the pedway of the two buildings on the 2nd floor. There is also a pedway to Commerce Place (where you can find Henry Singer and Holt). The recent revitalization of the shopping centre has really helped boost their appeal. I also prefer going here if I don't want to rencounter the rush that one would find at WEM on a busy weekend. The hours can be a bit inconvenient as well; open only until 6 from Monday to Wednesday, and only open for 5 hours on Sunday. The parking is still a drawback that is hard to get over as well, but otherwise don't expect to walk out empty handed.

I never usually go to City Centre unless I'm already downtown and on foot. It's such a pain to park downtown, and there's nothing here that you can't find at WEM, Southgate, Kingsway, or the million and one other malls around the city that have adequate and free parking. City Centre is home to The Bay, CBC, Cost Mountain Sports, Empire Theatres, Eveline Charles Academy, Winners and the Delta Edmonont Centre Suite Hotel, plus many other shops. I like that there's a Tim Horton's inside the mall, but the line-up can be huge, especially first thing in the morning. The food court is also fairly massive and at lunch is filling with suits on their lunch break and teenagers skipping school. The movie theatres not too busy, because there are bigger, better theatres around with better parking in a pinch than City Centre, so if you've got time and don't want to face the throngs to go to a flick, this theatre's a quieter, less frenetic evening out.

The City Centre has a lot of shopping options, but it seems in need of an update to its interior.

I'm not making a review about kingsway mall in general. i'm making a review about a store called…read moredesigner depot because during my christmas shopping i noticed a few red flags as well as green flags. 1. i overheard certain staff members talking very rudely about other staff members. 2. i was not aware of multiple policies due to no one explaining it to me so when i went back to exchange an item i was not able to do so considering non of the employees were telling customers about them. 3. the cashier with dark hair and glasses was EXTREMELY sweet and very professional considering how young she looked. 4. i was greeted by a very sweet young man who was making sure the store was safe from homeless people due to an incident. Yes there were a few red flags but majority of my visit to this location was okay. one other thing it is very difficult to identify who is an employee due to the employees not having name tags. Note: i couldn't find the actual store to review

The staff is on top of cleaning up things and keeping the floors clean from all the mud that comes on the shoes from off the street. My only complaint is that I feel there could be a better selection of stores and options. Some of the stores though offer good pricing and good discounts. I will continue to shop here and hope that they get a better selection in the future.

Southgate isn't the kind of place I recommend visiting in December, but then again I don't…read morerecommend visiting any mall in December (not if you can help it). That being said if I'm gonna go to a traditional indoor shopping mall then Southgate is my top pick. It's mostly a convenience factor (I like Kingsway too, but I live closer to the south side). The mall is older, I think 25 or 30 years old, but they've don't a lot of renovations in the past 5 years so everything looks new and bright. Southgate has a nice amount of stores, not too many, and I can usually find what I'm looking for when I come here. There are some higher end stores like Michael Kors, and the Apple Store (well high end depending on what you by) to your run-of-the-mill Canadian mall standards like The Bay and Sears. There are also a few stores here that are great to go to because for me it means avoiding a trip to WEM or going downtown (I love downtown, but I don't love driving/parking downtown). So yes it's great I can buy my makeup at Sephora here instead of going to WEM or going to Evoolution (delicious artisan olive oils and vinegars) instead of having to go downtown or to St. Albert. One of my favourite things about Southgate is the food court. It's open, and can be a bit loud, but it's got a decent fast food selection from Koryo (Korean) to Opa (Greek). I also love how environmentally friendly Southgate is...they've got bins for recycling, trash, and they even have drains so you can pour out your beverage down the drain instead of dumping it in the trash. There's even a separate spot to put the utensils. The other high point of Southgate, as strange as it might seem are the washrooms by the food court (well the ladies at least, can't speak for the men's). Why? Because the washroom stalls are huge (seriously you could probably get 4 people in there), they have a heavy wooden door, and when the door is locked it goes from a green vacant to a red occupied. I wish all public bathrooms did that, instead of playing the knock-to-check-and-see-if-someone-is-in-the-bathroom-stall game. The bathroom stalls also have a a big purse ledge for you put your purse/bags on. And when you go to use the sinks after you're done there is a automatic paper towel dispenser in front of every sink. No waiting in line to dry your hands. Score. Regarding parking it can get busy here, but I usually find the parking lot is pretty decent, particularly if you go to the upper level there's usually always spots there (maybe not right before Christmas). Southgate is also on the LRT line (right after Century Park) so it's convenient if you take transit. Just know Southgate isn't park and ride, so if you park here and take the lrt you could get a ticket (yeah they check that). One thing that is a little weird about Southgate is the layout. It's a mall that was just designed a bit weird, but it's not a big mall and easy to figure out. It can get busy, but it doesn't have the insane crowds that WEM does. Southgate is definitely my go to mall in Edmonton.

There's absolutely nothing in this mall for me anymore…read more There's only two stores in the mall that offer plus size clothing - Reitman's and The Bay - neither of which have much of a collection. The only unique option in the food court is Koryo, but it was shut down this weekend for a massive cockroach infestation :( Even though I used to go there quite often when I lived on the southside, I still find it incredibly difficult to navigate. It's such a strange layout.

The outdoor side of things is pretty standard with a Walmart, Winners, Dollarama and Ardene's etc. I come here quite a bit to pick up some shopping but never consider it a mall. The indoor part is hard to find, I was driving around and around trying to find the library! The day I went inside was Sunday and was delighted to see a mini farmers market on the go. It's really small but it has all the things you go to the larger markets for. I was impressed and will head there on a Sunday for my vegges instead of venturing to Whyte Ave and scrambling for parking!

I had never been before Friday so I had no idea what I was in form. While WEM is famous, Kingsway is a secret gem, and Southgate is gaining fame as a great mall too, Capilano has been left behind. The "food court" only has 4 or 5 food options and few tables. The most on-trend womens' clothing store is Smart Set, which, while not bad, is never my first choice. I came for a massage at Makami College located in the mall, but I didn't take too much time to stick around post-rub. Not much to see here, folks.

The Hub Mall is such a brilliant invention. Unlike any student space in Canada, it incorporates…read morestudent residences and a mall in one building which you'd never even have to leave while surviving through exam period or other stressful times during your studies. There are at least 20 food kiosks in the mall, offering a variety of options - Chinese, Korean, Thai, American fast food, Grandma's comfort food, smoothies and wraps, Japanese and sandwiches. You can get your hair cut here, get new eyeglasses or have a vision test, get a massage, book a trip abroad or exchange, shop for dorm room decor, study, go tanning, do your banking, meet with an accountant or seek therapy. I think you only thing you can't do here is drink, but there are plenty of places within walking distance of The Hub, like Hudson's on Campus and Earl's. The Hub rocks. Every university should follow suit.

It has more to offer than the Students Union Building too, with all the different kinds of cuisines and student services they have. Here's a list of what you can do here: -your stinking laundry (cause your momma ain't around) -get your shoes repaired -your banking -book a vacation (if the previous option was positive) -grab some breakfast, lunch, or late night snack (and get fat on Cookies by George) -buy a last minute birthday card -buy a new pair of eyeglasses -cram for that exam you've been in denial about -get a cheap haircut (but see my review for the Hot Razor before you really do) It's a really convenient place, whether you're a student or just passing through. It can get crazy busy around afternoon hours though, with high traffic on both sides of the long corridor. Do not, I repeat DO NOT stop in the middle of the traffic, as you will have a bunch of angry students with heavy textbooks piled up behind you. Simply move to the side, and do not look back until safe to do so. Also, it gets crazy hot in the summer because they have crappy air circulation. In fact, I don't believe they have AC ... so it gets pretty stuffy. That's when the frozen yogurt and ice cream they sell come in handy!

The mall is the old style of one long line of stores but it does offer a decent selection of stores and there's also a bowling alley in the basement too which is fun if you need a break from shopping! Since they were full of volunteers, we had some time to kill before going back. We went to a few stores including HMV (found some great deals with gift merchandise marked down), Carlton Cards, and Shoppers Drug Mart. There's not much for women's clothing stores though, but there seems to be a good number of jewelry stores. They also have kiosks and vendors in the middle of the mall who are selling their goods. We ate in the food court and not a lot of selection but there's always available seating and it's clean as I see the staff wiping tables and taking away trays. There are also anchor stores including Safeway and Sears. Upstairs of the mall there are a few organizations that have their offices here so you can go to a meeting and shop in the same place! Not a mall that I'll find everything I'm looking for, but has some good shops that I can find some good buys.
