Northgate Centre

97 Street and 137 Avenue in northeast Edmonton, the city’s quadrant whose Somali, Afghan, West African, Arab, and broadly Muslim immigrant communities give the NE Edmonton commercial corridor a multicultural consumer base, gives Northgate Centre the primary practical retail and daily-needs format for the Rosslyn and NE Edmonton immigrant household. Walmart anchors the general merchandise and grocery category. Safeway, the Sobeys-owned Canadian grocery chain, anchors the full-service grocery category. Yasmin House of Islamic Clothing, whose modest fashion and Islamic garment selection serves the Muslim household’s hijab, abaya, and cultural dress occasion, gives the property a commercially specific identity for the NE Edmonton Muslim community. Tala Afghan Boutique gives the property an Afghan community fashion identity reflecting Edmonton’s significant Afghan immigrant population.

Blenz Coffee, the British Columbia-founded specialty coffee chain, serves the café occasion. Medicine Place Pharmacy, Medicine Place Walk-In Clinic, and Northgate Pharmacy give the property a healthcare and pharmacy services identity. Bell, Rogers, TELUS, chatr Mobile, and Virgin Plus serve the telecom categories. Vitality Health Foods serves the natural health and wellness category. Romani Leather, Static Clothing, and Mr. Big and Tall Menswear cover the fashion floor. Halima Jewellery gives the property a locally-owned Muslim community jewelry identity. Fountain Tire gives the property an automotive services identity.

The property’s commercial role in northeast Edmonton is the Northgate Centre NE Edmonton community mall: a Walmart-Safeway daily-needs anchor whose Yasmin Islamic Clothing Muslim fashion identity, Tala Afghan Boutique community presence, and Medicine Place healthcare services give the NE Edmonton immigrant and working-class household a practical all-in-one retail and community services destination at the 97 Street and 137 Avenue NE Edmonton commercial node.
