Chinook Centre (corporately styled as "CF Chinook Centre") is a major in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. It is located near the geographic centre of the city on Macleod Trail, north of Glenmore Trail about 5 km (3.1 mi) south of downtown, and three blocks west of the Chinook C-Train station.
It is the largest mall in Calgary, with (1,355,000 square feet (125,900 m2)) 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.
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.
In 1960, with Calgary's population and city limits rapidly expanding, the original section of Chinook Centre was opened on the site of the Chinook Drive-In Theatre and the adjacent Skyline drive-in and driving range. Designed as an open-air complex, the mall was anchored by Woodward's, Holt Renfrew, a bowling alley, and a branch of the Calgary Public Library.
