Shop the Willow Park Village Pop-Up Series

Living in southwest Calgary, one of my go-to places for shopping is Willow Park Village. This outdoor shopping plaza is home to some of my favourite local shops – you can pretty much get anything and everything in one go. This includes baked goods at Crave Cupcakes, dinner at Broken Plate, gourmet eats from Springbank Cheese, a relaxing massage from Skoah, insurance and tickets at AMA, flowers from Blooms and Butterflies, and a few bottles of vino from Willow Park Wines and Spirits (one of the best liquor stores in the city IMO).

Now Willow Park is doing something new this fall and winter by launching their first-ever pop series! The temporary pop-up stores will feature up-and-coming local businesses with a new company “popping” in every few weeks. I’m super excited to see new businesses get some exposure to suburban dwellers and to “shop local” for these growing enterprises. For those who live in the “deep South”, this is the perfect chance to check out these local brands that you don’t often see in the suburbs. Heck, if you’ve never been to Willow Park Village at all, then what are you waiting for? The series began in August with cold-pressed juicing mavens Juice Because with a new brand going in regularly until the end of the year.

Now who says you can’t get anything good in the ‘burbs?
