Black Friday Blitz: Calgary’s Major Malls Gear Up Early
Black Friday is about to hit Calgary, and local shoppers are already buzzing. Get ready for some serious retail therapy! Chinook Centre and CrossIron Mills are known for dropping their deals early, so keep those eyes peeled for sales kicking off even before the big day on November 28, 2025.
Calgary's economic outlook for 2025 anticipates robust growth, with easing interest rates expected to boost consumer spending. This means local wallets might be a bit looser this holiday season, even with inflation projected at 3.0%. Cadillac Fairview, which operates Chinook Centre and Market Mall, has already rolled out festive events, signaling the official start of holiday shopping madness.
These aren't just minor markdowns, either. Black Friday discounts typically range between 28% and 38% across various product categories, based on 2024 data. Canadians, on average, are expected to spend $972 on holiday shopping in 2025, with a whopping 40% of that predicted to happen on Black Friday.
It's time to strategize for door-buster deals and special promotions. Whether you're hunting for cutting-edge tech or the latest fashion trends, Calgary's major malls are set to deliver.
