A Nike flagship store will be opening later this year on the main level of West Edmonton Mall in Edmonton.
It will become the largest in Canada to date, surpassing the country’s first flagship Nike store that opened at Toronto’s Yorkdale Shopping Centre in 2021.
The West Edmonton Mall Nike store will boast an expansive frontage in a busy location that leads to a transit interchange. The store is expected to open this winter according to signage. Nike will replace a former Forever 21 location that spanned 22,450sq ft as well as a 3,260sq ft storefront formerly occupied by Volcom and a 2,127sq ft space recently vacated by Kawaii Alley — both have since located elsewhere in the mall. Nike’s West Edmonton Mall location will be very visible from the mall’s ‘Ice Palace’ ice rink.
Nike’s first Canadian flagship opened in the summer of 2021 at Toronto’s Yorkdale Shopping Centre, spanning more than 24,500sq ft over two levels. Another store is currently under construction at the Montreal Eaton Centre in downtown Montreal that will measure about 20,000sq ft over two levels. More flagships are expected under Israeli licensee Fox Group which is spearheading the Canadian Nike expansion, including a large location set to open soon at CF Chinook Centre in Calgary.
