Mill Woods, Edmonton’s largest and most demographically diverse suburban district in the city’s southeast, gives Mill Woods Town Centre on 66th Street in Edmonton a community enclosed mall identity whose tenant mix reflects one of the most significant immigrant and ethnocultural residential communities in western Canada. Shoppers Drug Mart anchors the pharmacy and personal care category. The adjacent Canadian Tire, across 28th Avenue in the surrounding retail park, serves the automotive and general merchandise categories for the Mill Woods household alongside the enclosed mall visit. No Frills, the Loblaws-owned discount grocery banner, serves the grocery and daily-needs category.
Yasmin, the House of Islamic Clothing, gives the property a Muslim faith and modest fashion identity that the Mill Woods Islamic community accesses as a retail expression of the neighbourhood’s cultural and religious character, making it one of very few Canadian enclosed malls with a dedicated Islamic fashion retailer as a named tenant. Warp 3 Comics and Games, the Edmonton-area independent comic book, gaming, and collectibles shop, and Game City give the property a pop culture and gaming identity. Dauk Music Mill Woods Town Center gives the property a music education and instrument retail identity. Fragrance World serves the Middle Eastern and South Asian fragrance retail category.
The Shoe Company serves the accessible footwear category. Bell, Fido, Rogers, TELUS, chatr, WOW, and WIRELESSWAVE give the property a full Alberta telecom carrier presence. Starbucks and Tim Hortons serve the café occasions. Dollarama serves the value retail category. LensCrafters and Specsavers serve the optical categories. The property’s commercial role in Edmonton’s southeast is the Mill Woods enclosed community mall: a Shoppers Drug Mart pharmacy anchor whose Yasmin Islamic fashion identity, Warp 3 Comics community entertainment, and ethnocultural operator diversity serve the Mill Woods Muslim, South Asian, East African, and immigrant household as the primary enclosed retail and community services destination in Edmonton’s most diverse residential district.
