More and more brands are looking to set up shop in West Edmonton Mall, and an enormous Nike flagship location finally opened its doors over the holiday season.
The massive new store, located on the main level across from the Ice Palace, replaced three stores that formerly occupied the area — Forever 21, Volcom and Kawaii Alley, the latter two relocating to other parts of the mall.
In total, the new Nike store occupies 27,837 square feet of space in the mall, making it the largest Nike flagship store in Canada.
Best Edmonton Mall, a YouTube channel which has amassed millions of views for its videos touching on anything and everything about West Edmonton Mall, recently took a tour through the new Nike store.
The newly opened store boasts a range of Nike products, including footwear, apparel, accessories, and other Nike-branded products.
Canada’s first Nike flagship store opened in 2021 at Toronto’s Yorkdale Shopping Centre, and another store is currently under construction at the Montreal Eaton Centre. Retail Insider reports that more Nike stores are expected to open in the country, with a fourth location set to open soon at CF Chinook Centre in Calgary.
