One of the best shopping locations in the city. Ikea, Costco, Superstore, Best Buy, Jysk, Future Shop, Sport Chek, the Calgary Auto Mall, a Walmart Supercentre, various home decor stores, and over a dozen restaurants, including McDonalds, Starbucks, and two outstanding burger locations in Fatburger and Five Guys. In terms of sprawl, it is a massive area, by far the biggest in Calgary, and it is still growing! The commute around can be unforgiving during busy periods (Christmastime is always pure chaos, a perfect storm of tight places, icy roads and mad drivers), but any place where you can get a new couch, groceries, rollerblades, a stack of Blu-rays, with a burger and a coffee to wash it all down in one stop is quite alright with me!
