Chinook Centre is a major mall in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. It is located near the geographic centre of the city on Macleod Trail, north of Glenmore Trail about 5km south of downtown, and three blocks west of the Chinook C-Train station.
It is the largest mall in Calgary, with (1355000sqft) of space. CF Chinook Centre is home to five major department stores (only two are in operation while the third being redeveloped), 250 stores, and several full service restaurants. It also had a 900-seat food court with 36 food vendors], a bowling alley, professional tower, and the Scotiabank Theatre Chinook (formerly the Paramount), with 16 screens, an IMAX Theatre and two UltraAVX theatres. As of March 2017, the Cineplex concession area is currently undergoing renovations, and does not offer butter for their popcorn, leading to a public outcry.
The focal point of the mall is a four-storey-high rotunda, with a fibre optic 'constellation' ceiling and a time capsule at the centre's axis, set to be opened on December 31, 2999, one thousand years after it was installed. Additionally, there lies a mosaic of blue tiles which curves around on the ground of the rotunda. This mosaic is a layout of the Bow and Elbow rivers in Calgary.
The mall is owned and operated by Cadillac Fairview, which also owns CF Market Mall in the area.
