Money and Shopping in Saint John
The Uptown is home to hundreds of privately owned and operated shops that sell a wide variety of food and merchandise. A stroll down King Street will offer stores selling local arts and crafts, while across the street the Brunswick Square Mall offers more commercial stores for your shopping pleasure (clothes, shoes, cards, books, music, Laura Secord Chocolates, etc.) Try Germain and Canterbury Street (both off King Street) for used books, international cuisine and independent record stores.
The city is home to eight shopping centers. Brunswick Square and Market square which are both located in uptown offer modern class shopping and are connected by a pedway system which links much of uptown Saint John. Prince Edward Square (also in uptown) is nearby but really isn't worth visiting. There are limited shops inside. This mall is home to Giant Tiger, The YMCA and Wyndham Call Center. Near by is Mister Music (a music store/head Shoppe) and Mr.Nice Guy (Head Shoppe).
The North end of the city is home to one shopping center called Lansdowne Place, which is a small strip mall. This would be a good mall for picking up missed essentials in packing. It is home to a Shopper's Drug Mart, NB Liquor, The Dollar Store, Tahiti Tan, Zellers and Sobeys Grocery Store. There is also Lancaster Mall on the west side, which again, is suited to the same puropse as Lansdowne Place. Being home to The Superstore, Coles Bookstore, The Bulk Barn, The Dollar Store and A few fast food places.
The east side of the city is home to McAllister Place the City's largest shopping centre. Home to both Large Department Stores (Such as Sears, Zellers and Wal-Mart) and Smaller Stores (Such as Jewelry Stores, Major Clothing Brands, etc.) Also a great place to be if you are in need of finding a last minute hotel or even booking an emergency flight home.(Sears Travel)
East Point Shopping Centre the city's newest retail complex offers some shopping which can't be had at McAllister Place. This mall features stores such as Costco, Indigo Bookstores (with A starbucks), Urban Apparel, Le Chateau, Tip Top Tailors/Big N' Tall.
Parkway Mall isn't one of the more active malls in Saint John. There are a few Gems that you go there for such as, Value Village (Consignment Store), Cora's Breakfast & Lunch and NB Liquor.
Loch Lomond Mall probabally shoudn't be on your list of places to shop. It does still have some entertainment inside like Dooley's Lounge, Which is a great place to stop and play a couple rounds of pool. Other than that there is virutally nothing else inside except A few call centers (Sitel, Unilever and Irving) A Tim Hortons and A very lucky lotto booth. If you want to pick up a possible winning lotto ticket, stop in to the lotto booth here. I've never bought a ticket Lottery, scratch ticket or other wise that DIDN'T win.
Saint John's East side is also home to numerous box stores including Home Depot, Kent's Building Supplies, Canadian Tire, Old Navy, Pier 1 Imports, Winners, Michael's and Future Shop, just to name a few.
The City Market in the uptown is the oldest operating farmers market in Canada. It is home to fresh fruits and vegetables, fresh from the sea seafood, Java Moose (a Locally owned and Operated coffee place, with both excellent brewed coffee and even better take home coffee beans)
