St Albert Centre has recently undergone renovations adding a wing/hallway and modernizing. The new look from the outside is much more esthetically pleasing - Winners in particular is quite attractive from the outside now. My tween daughter lives that Ardene's is now giant and in the old Winners location. Best addition was the rethinking of the Primary Care Network here which makes these invaluable mental and physical health resources much more accessible to the public. The food court continues to be utterly disappointing - ever since Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory left, there's not much for me to get excited over. There's quite a few empty or still under renovation spots in the mall as well. I think fellow Yelper, Joy K. accurately portrayed the Black Friday event in her review so I won't go into as much detail but I will say that it was a huge disappointment and they changed the program or the event specifics AFTER tickets had already been sold. There were no special deals for the attendees only and people waited in line more than 30 minutes to get into the roped off area for a glass of sparkling fruit juice, chocolate, charcuterie board, and to fill out the ballots for giveaways. Nothing was as originally advertised and left a really bad taste in my mouth for both the misrepresentation (almost bait & switch) and then the extremely poor customer service. Overall, there's been some positive design updates to St. Albert Centre but there's a lot of room left for improvement. 2 stars on Yelp is described as "Meh, I've experienced better" on their ratings guidelines and that would most definitely be the case here. read more

Our local mall has some great stores, awesome staff and a great location. Although they can't compete with the larger shopping centers it is super handy for locals. I like many others miss the larger brand store, Target, but am confident that soon the inventory available will be competitive with the variety of stores coming in. The renovations are coming along and I am looking forward to the final result with much anticipation. They are not disruptive to the shopping experience and show the centers commitment to staying fresh and vibrant to both the client and the community. read more

St Albert Centre - Great carts available for the smaller kids and bags. - Shopping Centers Near Me - St Albert, Alberta

Oh man, I thought I had reviewed the mall already! Well... here we go. This was the mall I grew up next to. I worked at two different places in the food court, and my best friend worked at 3 different stores. Almost every store had somebody I knew working in it. So... maybe I'm a little biased about it. I will say that this mall absolutely sucked for a while. There were no relevant stores for a long time. I remember when I was much younger and wal mart moved out of this mall up to the newer super centre location, we thought "well.... at least there's still the food court I guess." When Zellers moved in, it was a nice compromise, and we were happy enough with that. Nothing else in the mall was really changing though. Ever. Same old stores. Same kiosks at Christmas time. Nothing new in the food court. The same cannot be said now. First off... despite the addition of a Tim Horton's last month, the food court sucks. It has an A&W, and Orange Julius, and I think the Chinese Food place is still there? There's some kind of Pizza Kone place opening... seems like a strange choice. The Smitty's is gone and that was devastating to me. I said the same thing about Kingsway - I really like to have a restaurant to sit down in when I need a break from shopping. Also... you could get a glass of wine for $2.50 in the lounge! Now, the good. Talk about a facelift. You can't help but notice the changes as you drive down St. Albert Trail. London Drugs and Mark's Work Warehouse now find their new homes on the West Side of the mall, and Winners has moved to this side as well. It looks AMAZING. and the hallway that connects the new area with the old (formerly known as the "Smitty's entrance") is gorgeous with lots of new stores like Stokes, Soft Moc, and La Vie en Rose. And it seems like they are ever growing. The mall was asking on Social Media a few weeks ago what type of local stores we'd like to see. Does it have everything you need? No. But it's getting there. read more

This update is strictly regarding the Black Friday Gives Back event, one of the biggest disappointments of the shopping season. I want to acknowledge first of all that this event was to raise money for five charities, and that is great for the season. I never want to lose sight of that. However.... The first posting on Facebook to advertise for this event stated that the mall would close to the public, that there would be special sales available only for ticket holders, that there would be a V.I.P. room with treats for us, etc etc etc. Sounded like a lot of exclusive fun and a chance for special shopping. Told that only ticket-holders would be admitted to the mall, we even bought additional tickets for the kids so they could participate. Now the reality... The mall remained open to the public. Kids didn't need those $10 tickets after all to be inside, only if they wanted to enter the "special area," which turned out to be a roped off section of the hallway in front of Winners, with some sparkling juice, meet and cheese board, and chocolate bells from Purdys. Yep, that's it. To add insult, we were refused "re-entry" for another glass of juice at the end of the evening, even though there were no more attendees waiting to enter for the first time and there were over a hundred glasses of juice sitting there already poured out. Employees, whether paid mall admin people or perhaps some helpers, seemed frustrated, frazzled, and totally out of patience to address any concerns. One in particular was extremely rude, and I mean extremely. Maybe things weren't going well for them, or maybe there had been some disagreements before we arrived, but regardless, we paid the penalty for their bad attitudes. All in all, we would not participate in events in the future and regret roping in friends to come with us to this one. Oh - and the frosting on the cake?? There were NO special sales for us. We were handed a sheet that purported to give us the skinny on sales, but they were clearly posted for the public at each store - not one special for us, except for free mints at one location if we spent $25 first. Uh, no thanks, and thanks for nothing. Do I sound jaded? Yes. Based on the letdown from expectations raised in the beginning. Beware -- lesson learned. read more

St Albert Centre - Zellars side entrance - Shopping Centers Near Me - St Albert, Alberta

They call it St. Albert "Centre" but it's hardly that. The only thing it's the centre of is literally the city itself. The mall is dead with stores I haven't seen for at least a decade, ie. Bootlegger and Northern Reflections. The Winners is the smallest Winners I've been to which means less selection, and Target is just a rebranded Zellers that has more employees hanging out than shoppers. Actually, I think "more employees than shoppers" resonates with every store in the mall, and I didn't come here on a Monday morning either. It was Saturday afternoon. I feel bad but the only thing the mall is good for is the free park and ride for the Farmers Market shuttle. read more

Horrible experience... biggest waste of time attempted to purchase luggage at the BAY department store in St. Albert Centre mall, couldn't find a sales associate in any department... when I did find one, she abruptly said "i cannot help you now i am with someone else you will have to wait"... I later discovered that this was the store manager... after searching through other departments for someone to help me pay for my luggage, I came across a young girl in womens clothing... she said that the luggage did not have any tags so she couldn't process it... after looking at other luggage we found that most pieces were missing tags... she called her manager 3 times... waited for 10-15 minutes until someone came... another young lady came to help and told me again that because the luggage had no tags it could not be purchased... we went to examine other luggage items, still to find that tags were missing from most of the luggage... she said she was gonna call her manager... (although i was told she was the manager).... once the "real" manager appeared i was quick to discover that it was the first woman in the store who had rudely brushed me off cause she was assisting other people. 30 minutes into this ordeal I was relieved that the "manager" was there and could hopefully deal with this matter because unfortunately the young ladies had no clue what they were doing. to my surprise the manager was quite rude and told us that she could only make an exception this one time!! making us feel like we were some kind of burden for wanting to purchase goods... i found this quite funny because i thought they were in the business of selling goods? ( I assume they dont work off of commission sales here LOL) instead they continued giving us the run around. the manager told the associate to take us to the checkout counter as she rudely stormed away.... * at this point I should have just left the store* here we were at square one... the associate didn't know how to ring the item in, even though her manager gave her brief instructions on how to do so... i mentioned that i could receive an extra 15% off with my BAY MASTERCARD and the associate replied " no, I have never heard of that"... after many attempts to ring the item in, she said... " can you come back tomorrow when the women who works in the luggage department is working" WOW!... good riddance I will not be visiting the St Albert Centre BAY .. ever again. That store needs serious customer service training... I should also add that I purchased my Luggage from another Bay store located in Edmonton.... found an associate, she asked me if i would like to use my BAY MASTERCARD for and extra 15% off... in and out with my luggage purchase in 15 minutes.. read more

Avoid this mall! It is severely lacking in relevant and current stores, and is mostly still up and running because of The Bay. The owners of the mall always ask for new suggestions for stores, decor, etc from local residents but I hardly ever see any changes made. I think they need new owners/management ASAP. read more
