CF Chinook Centre is the largest enclosed shopping centre in Calgary, Alberta, Canada (). It is located near the geographic centre of the city on Macleod Trail, just north of Glenmore Trail about south of downtown, and three blocks west of the Chinook C-Train station. Chinook Centre is home to three major department stores (only two are in operation while the third is in the process of redevelopment), 250 stores,〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Chinook Centre )〕 and several full service restaurants. It also contains a 900 seat food court offering more than 20 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. The focal point of the mall is a four-storey-high rotunda, with a fibre optic 'constellation' ceiling and a time capsule〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Time Capsule Content )〕 at the centre's axis, set to be opened in the year 2999. The mall is owned and operated by Cadillac Fairview, one of Canada's largest real estate property managers and developers. ==History== 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. In the mid-1960s, a separate mall, Southridge, was opened across the street from Chinook. Built to be a competing centre with Sears and approximately 30 other stores, Southridge operated separately until 1974, when the malls came under common ownership and an expansion was built to bridge the centres together. The new, larger mall was renamed Chinook Ridge Shopping Centre, and included a major enclosed parking structure, a movie theatre, an office tower, and a food court. In the 1980s, a two-storey wing of specialty retailers was added leading to a new anchor store (fashion retailer Bretton's since closed) and a new food court. This expansion brought the mall's store count to approximately 300. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Chinook Centre」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
