Kingsway Mall is a big shopping centre in central Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. It first opened in 1976. The mall got a huge makeover between 2007 and 2009, costing $70 million. When it reopened in November 2009, it also changed its name from Kingsway Garden Mall to Kingsway Mall.
Kingsway Mall is easy to get to because it's near three main roads: 109 Street, Princess Elizabeth Avenue, and Kingsway. It's also close to the NAIT (a college) and the Royal Alexandra Hospital. In 2015, a store called Hot Topic opened here, which was the first one in Edmonton! The mall also announced plans in 2017 to add a new section where the old Target store used to be.
