Westmount Centre

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Westmount Centre is a shopping centre located in the west Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. It contains 75 stores and services including Zellers, Safeway, Shoppers Drug Mart, and a four-screen Empire Theatres cinema complex.

Westmount Centre was started as a strip mall called Westmount Shopper's Park in 1955. The movie theatre now operated by the Empire chain first opened in 1985, replacing a cinema at another part of the mall which originally opened in 1959 as the single-screen Sahara Theatre, which became the Westmount Theatre in 1965 when Famous Players took it over, then twinned the theatre in 1971 by building a smaller, 500-seat auditorium adjoining the existing 800-seat one.
