Family-run grocer brings immersive Italian experiences to northwest Calgary
Italian Centre Shop has opened its second Calgary location at Northland Village Mall (5111 Northland Dr. N.W. #2150), marking the company’s sixth store in Alberta and a continued expansion of its more than 65-year legacy of food, family and community.
The 22,000 sq. ft. location brings Italian Centre Shop’s signature blend of European groceries, fresh food experiences and warm hospitality to northwest Calgary — a growing and vibrant part of the city. The new store has created approximately 150 jobs, further supporting the local economy.
Designed to feel like stepping into the heart of Italy, the Northland location is the boldest expression of the Italian Centre Shop brand to date. From the moment guests enter beneath a soaring barrel-vaulted ceiling, they’ll be immersed in Roman-inspired architecture, including classic arches and columns alongside the “Pantheon of Bread,” where fresh bread is baked daily. Together, these features create an immersive shopping destination that celebrates the beauty, culture and flavours of Italy.
“This store is about more than groceries — it’s about creating a place where people can gather, connect and experience a piece of Italy right here in Calgary,” said Teresa Spinelli, president of Italian Centre Shop. “For us, food has always been about bringing people together.”
The new location will feature all the elements customers have come to love, including:
- A full-service deli with a wide selection of imported cheeses, cured meats, and antipasti
- A tavola calda offering hot, ready-to-eat meals
- An artisan bakery producing fresh bread and pastries daily
- A café serving made-to-order pizzas, panini and coffee
The Northland store is part of the ongoing transformation of the Northland area into a refreshed retail destination, bringing new energy and experiences to Northwest Calgary.
