Remarkably, Hudson's Bay operated two downtown Edmonton stores for about two years in , including the Jasper Avenue Hudson's Bay Centre store as well as the store in the former Woodward's space. Last year, Oxford Properties sold the two-block long Edmonton City Centre complex , which includes a shopping centre, office towers and a hotel, to a four-member group of investors.

Edmonton will become the first major city in Canada with a population of nearly one million within city boundaries to have no downtown department stores. This puts Edmonton in line with many cities in the United States which over the years have seen the shuttering of all downtown department stores.

The rise of automobiles and the suburban shopping centre saw consumers gravitate away from downtowns, creating competition and reduced foot traffic which proved insurmountable for many downtown businesses.

Department stores themselves have become irrelevant over the years in North America. The rise of brands themselves along with retail category killers, discounters and online shopping have all played a role.

I've went quite a few times to the Casino, sometimes just for a few drinks and to watch the show or play the machines and sometimes just for dinner with my husband.
