Wal mart employee punches a guy in the face marlborough mall calgary canada
Location
The mall is located in the north-east quadrant of the city, in the community of Marlborough next to the Marlborough C-Train Station. It is located at the corner of Memorial Drive and 36th Street.
Physically it shares the same block as the Applewood Village condominiums. The south and west ends of the mall are bound by 4-lane divided roads. The mall itself is located in a residential zone on the edges of the Franklin commercial area and is nearly surrounded by other commercial ventures. To the west lies a commercial park with a car dealership and several mini-malls and standalone retailers. One block to the northwest lies Pacific Place (formerly Franklin Mall) and directly north is a strip mall. The larger, 2 level Sunridge Mall as well as a Real Canadian Superstore outlet is one C-Train stop to the north, about 2000 metres away, itself in a very large commercial setting with several blocks of stores concentrated together.
History
The mall was originally built in the early 1970s, with Woolco as the flagship store. Renovations later added Simpsons-Sears at the north end of the mall.
In 2005 the mall underwent a total interior renovation that saw the addition of new tile, additional skylights, and a new mall corridor to access an expansion of Wal-Mart that allowed the addition of several small retailers. Construction of a modest, 10,000 sq ft (930 m2). expansion began in the summer of 2010 and will involve the addition of a loading dock and space for three new retailers; construction is scheduled to end in December 2010.
2016 machete attack
On September 17, 2016, an assailant armed with a machete attacked a shopper and a police officer. One victim escaped with minor injuries, but the other remains in hospital with critical injuries.
Community
The mall has served as a focal point for social events, hosting a small carnival midway in the west parking lot every summer in the 1970s and 1980s. The Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus has also operated from the west parking lot in the past. Other community activities have included geology displays by the University of Calgary. The mall is often regarded as one of the most ratchet malls in Calgary
Layout
The mall is fully enclosed and built as a split level, with the northern portion of the mall slightly higher than the southern. A standard 13-unit food court is located where the split occurs, and has both an upper and lower deck for seating.
A five story "professional building" houses medical offices including dental, general practice, and sports medicine.
Note: the above diagrams contain an error; Simpsons-Sears should be on the 1990 map, and Sears on the 2005 one.
