Whyte Avenue

It is truly one of the most trendy and hippest places to shop in all of Edmonton. If you are looking for the cool and unusual, items you won’t see anywhere else, all coupled together in a few blocks, then make sure to head here. In fact, this area was named one of Canada’s five best shopping neighborhoods! The area is historic, coupled with a youthful feel as people of all ages come to shop at galleries, one-of-a-kind boutiques, music stores, and also to dine at wonderful independent restaurants. Make sure to spend some time thrifting through treasures in Junque Cellar, a vintage antique and retro shop where you can still find cassette tapes, typewriters and more. If it is vinyl you are after, then head to Blackbyrd where the selection is large and the service is outstanding. Other popular shops to check out include Unite Cycle – Edmonton’s most beloved sports shop, as well as Gravity Pope – a unique boutique that caters to men, women, and children.
