Toyota royalty came to visit our new dealership inside West Edmonton Mall last month and it was an honour to show off what we have been proudly building for the last few years.
Toyota Canada President and CEO Larry Hutchinson, Vice President of Sales and Marketing Cyril Dimitris and Prairie and Pacific Zone Manager Alec Markin all made the journey together for an afternoon filled with tours and talks of the new space.
We started as a small dealership on the outskirts of West Edmonton in 1988. Today, we are now the first full-service dealership to operate in the world’s largest mall! What a journey it’s been. One of the things we were most excited to show the team from Toyota corporate was just how convenient we have made things for our guests. Convenience was one of our top inspirations when we first approached Toyota Canada with the idea of moving our dealership into the mall.
We knew that being inside the largest mall in North America — with all its shopping, restaurants, and amenities — would make the lives of our customers that much easier. Especially for our service guests, who could enjoy all the mall has to offer while they waited for their vehicle. We even extended our hours so our service centre is open late — seven days a week. Meaning you could still get your vehicle in for a service after work and on the weekends.
Navigating this momentous change has not been without a few speed bumps. But after almost a year of being fully operational in our larger-than-life space, our team is operating better than ever before. Whether you need to purchase a new Toyota or a pre-owned vehicle, need help with car parts or accessories, have a financing question, or need a detail and a car service… our team of talented people has you covered.
On behalf of our management team and the entire staff at West Edmonton Mall Toyota, thank you to Larry, Cyril and Alec for making the trek to Edmonton to see our new spot.
Toyota Canada has supported this legendary venture from the beginning. From breaking first ground back in 2019 to opening our doors for the first time in 2021 — we can not thank you enough for all the support.
If you are considering an electric vehicle in the midst of some of the highest gas prices Edmonton has ever seen — you are not alone. The number of Canadians wanting to purchase electric vehicles (EVs) in 2022 has skyrocketed with 46% of people saying their next vehicle will be an EV, according to a recent survey done by EY Mobility Consumer Index. That is up 11% from the previous year!
The thing is…
There are a lot of mistruths floating around about what electric vehicles are and what they do. This blog post will eliminate the confusion and help you make the decision if an electric vehicle is right for your next vehicle.
If you have more questions about electric vehicles, feel free to reach out to anyone on our team at West Edmonton Mall Toyota. Our Toyota specialists are some of the best in Edmonton and can help you learn and source the right vehicle for you — electric or hybrid.
There are several different types of electric vehicles but for our purposes here today, we will focus on the four models Toyota carries.
Hybrid Electric Vehicles: Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEVs) are when a gas engine is paired with an electric motor. Their hybrid battery recharges as you drive, so you will never need to stop to plug it in.
Plug-In Hybrid Vehicles: Plug-In Hybrids (PHEVs) operate the same way as HEVs, but instead drivers have the option to plug it in for extended electric-only range.
Battery Electric Vehicles: Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs) are zero-emission vehicles powered by electricity alone. You will need to plug BEVs in, but the system also uses regenerative braking to recharge the battery as you drive.
Hydrogen Fuel Cell Vehicles: Hydrogen Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles (FCEVs) use hydrogen as an energy source to power high-output electric motors, emitting only water from the tailpipe.
The short and sweet answer is — it depends on the brand and model. While some brands offer electric vehicles at a higher cost, other brands have a relatively consistent pricing model depending on the lineup and trim you choose. However, oftentimes the cost of an electric vehicle from the beginning is more expensive. But this is just in terms of the initial cost of the vehicle.
Electric vehicles can actually save you money over the course of ownership. Especially as the cost of fuel continues to rise in Canada, passing $2.20 in major cities like Edmonton, Vancouver and Toronto. The Government of Canada also offers the Incentives for Zero-Emission Vehicles (iZEV) Program which helps make purchasing them more affordable.
There are two rebates available for this program.
For Toyota vehicles, the models eligible to receive this benefit are Prius Prime, RAV4 Prime, and the Mirai.
Toyota Gas vehicles and electric vehicles work differently and require different parts, however, the maintenance required to upkeep both follow the same maintenance schedule – every 6 months or 8,000 km.
Another way to think about electric vehicles is that they don’t have an engine or transmission. This means there are fewer mechanical parts to maintain and replace. Anyone that has had to replace an engine or transmission knows how costly that can get.
New Toyota Electric Vehicles equipped with Toyota Service Connect let you stay in the know about the health and wellness of your ride. From vehicle health reports to information and service reminders, you can stay on top of things before major problems occur.
Electric motors generate 100% of their available torque instantly. This means you can accelerate more quickly and smoother than you can while driving a gas-powered vehicle. In a PHEV, you can travel even faster and further in EV-mode than conventional hybrid electric vehicles. In fact, the Toyota RAV4 Prime puts out an amazing 302 horsepower and goes from 0-to-100 km/h in just six seconds. That makes it the second fastest Toyota on the streets next to the Supra… a sports car.
The City of Edmonton has made reducing greenhouse gas emissions one of their top priorities in recent years. Their Electric Vehicle (EV) Strategy identifies how they plan on making it easier for people to own an electric vehicle, prepare the path for electrifying transportation of personal vehicles and ultimately help reduce greenhouse gas emissions. That includes increasing the amount of charging stations across the city.
There are 106 public charging station ports (Level 2 and Level 3) within Edmonton. 85% of the ports are level 2 charging ports and 70% of the ports offer free charges for your electric car. You can even find level 2 charging stations at West Edmonton Mall!
There are also five websites you can use to find the nearest charging station near you: Canadian Automobile Association, ChargHub, Flo, Government of Canada, and PlugShare.
Toyota electric vehicles can go further ever thanks to battery technology getting more powerful and affordable. Battery size isn’t the only thing that affects how long an electric vehicle can go. Driving habits matter as well. For example, the quicker you drive, how much you need to accelerate, whether you turn on your AC or the heater, as well as how warm it is outside, will all play a role in how long you can last on a single charge.
The RAV4 Prime is similar to the non-plug-in RAV4 Hybrid, but adds a larger battery pack that provides up to 68 km of electric driving range. Toyota’s energy consumption ratings are 2.5 Le/100 km in electric mode and 6.0 L/100 km in combined city/highway hybrid driving.
Reboot Racing is one of the best new things to do inside West Edmonton Mall! Primed with several state-of-the-art virtual racing simulators, guests are invited to sit behind the wheel and get their adrenaline rushing on some of the best race tracks around.

Whether you make a quick trip in for a lap around the track or make a night of it with friends, be sure to stop by and race one on our WEM Toyota track. Plus, with their virtual simulators you don’t have to worry about those pesky Edmonton speed traps. Phew.
We had our first customer event inside our new location last week and the response was nothing short of amazing. From a great turnout with new and familiar faces to enjoyable conversation shared over a fantastic spread of food put together by the team at Cactus Club, we could not have wished for a better outcome.

From a great turnout with new and familiar faces to enjoyable conversation shared over a fantastic spread of food put together by the team at Cactus Club, we could not have wished for a better outcome.
Part of the inspiration behind this event was to show our customers our new space inside West Edmonton Mall.
While we know many of our returning customers have made at least one trip in to see us since our move, we know many haven’t had the chance to see the full space. Being able to give everyone a full view of our spacious new dealership was exciting and we loved hearing your feedback.
We were also able to show our guests just how convenient shopping and servicing with us is now.
With things like extended service hours into the evening to a second parts pick-up area for buyers wanting to avoid the mall together to valet parking and dozens of stores, restaurants and other amenities within walking distance, WEM Toyota is the most convenient dealership in Edmonton.
Is an event even fun unless someone wins a prize?
In addition to drawing for an annual WEM Multi-Play Family Pass, we also gave away a voucher for a $320 Arc’teryx Atom LT Hoody and a $50 WEM Gift Card! Congratulations to our winners.
We want to thank Style WEM, Aligra Wine & Spirits and WEM Cactus Club for being our title sponsors and helping make this event a success. From a selection of savory appetizers to great wine and drinks, our ‘happy hour’ vision certainly came to life.
We also want to thank the long list of West Edmonton Mall retailers that contributed to a swag bag that we gave each of our attendees. From gift certificates to discounts and more, our guests were thrilled with your contributions.
Thank You To:
Eveline Charles
We received a lot of positive feedback throughout the course of the evening and would love to host more of our valued guests again soon. Be sure to follow us on Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok to stay up-to-date on news, offers and events just like this one.
It feels like almost every Canadian knows what Hudson’s Bay is, right? You either passed it in the mall as a kid or have done some shopping in one as an adult. And who doesn’t remember the classic striped Bay Blanket that is probably resting on millions of couches across the country as we speak?
With a wide selection of various goods including everything from apparel to accessories, shoes, luggage, housewares, makeup, perfume and beyond, we know our guests
In honour of our partnership this month, we wanted to feature our favourite iconic Canadian department store on the blog. The history behind Hudson’s Bay is actually really interesting, and in our humble opinion, it might be one of the best stores in West Edmonton Mall. Let’s dive in!
Founded in 1670, Hudson’s Bay opened its first department store in 1881 in Winnipeg, Manitoba. As of August 2021, Hudson’s Bay has 86 locations in seven Canadian provinces and is officially the oldest and longest-surviving company in North America.
The Hudson’s Bay Company was actually started by two resourceful French traders who discovered just how lucrative the fur training industry could be. Every year the trappers would bring furs to barter for manufactured goods such as knives, kettles, beads, needles, and blankets.
Things started to change towards the end of the 19th century when fur became less popular in the trading business. The Company decided to pivot to retail, transforming its trading posts into sale shops stocked with a variety of different products that would appeal to a larger demographic. In 1912, they opened their first six department stores known as the ‘original six’, including one right here in Edmonton.
Hudson’s Bay has been innovating since the launch of its first stores back in 1912. They launched their first website in 2000. In 2001 they created HBC Rewards, their company loyalty program where customers earn points for purchases at The Bay stores. (Every 2000 points earned is equivalent to a $10 gift card)! They launched a fancy new logo in 2013 and today their brand is recognized in households across Canada.
One of the biggest reasons we moved our dealership inside the largest mall in North America was to give our customers easy access to all their amazing storefronts and amenities. One of our favourite spots — hands down — has to be The Bay.
From their semi-annual Bay Days sales to their Black Friday and Boxing Week sales, there is always an incredible deal to find inside. Their staff is friendly, and knowledgeable and can help you with everything from finding the right makeup to sourcing the right dish set for your new home.
They also have great offerings that include free curb-side pick-up, virtual and in-store appointments with their shopping experts, and more.
We want West Edmonton Mall Toyota to be the most convenient place to service your vehicle in the city. That means extended service hours Monday – Saturday until 9 PM. It also means a massive service bay that can house dozens of vehicles so there is availability whenever you need it.
It also means our guests can explore the mall and get things done while they wait for their vehicle to be finished. Next time you pop in for a service? Check out our friends at The Bay in Phase 1 of the mall. Whether you need a gift, housewares, shoes, clothing, jewelry, etc. — they have it all and then some.

All Fantasyland Hotel rooms include free WiFi, and LCD televisions so kids can stay occupied inside the room after they’ve finished exploring North America’s Largest Mall!

There is no better feeling than a freshly cleaned and detailed car. But with so many choices for professional car detailing in Edmonton, how do you know which one is the best place to take your vehicle?
We think our team at West Edmonton Mall Toyota has the edge over the competition thanks to our convenient valet service, competitive pricing and superior results.
Need more details?
We break down 5 reasons why you should choose WEM Toyota for your next car clean.
Our dealership is located in West Edmonton Mall — the largest mall in North America — which means you are just seconds away from hundreds of shopping, entertainment and dining options. What other car cleaning places in Edmonton can say the same?
Why sit in a crowded waiting room while your car is being cleaned? Why go through all the hassle of dropping your vehicle off for a few days? Instead, bring your car to us and take advantage of your time in the mall by getting a few errands done or grabbing lunch.
Our convenient valet service makes dropping your car off and picking it up so easy! All you have to do is drive your vehicle through our Valet Station located right beside the Waterpark and let us know which service you need.
After your car is cleaned, swing through our Service Department, show our team your valet ticket and one of our Service Advisors will grab your freshly detailed vehicle for you.
See — we told you it was easy! In fact, Play107 Radio Host Lisa Evans just used our valet service and loved it. Watch her experience here. or check out our Valet & Car Wash options
Different drivers have different needs so we offer a selection of car detailing packages that range from quick cleans to comprehensive car detailing that leaves your car looking cleaner than the day you bought it.
Starting at $39.95
This quick clean includes an exterior hand wash and dry as well as a tire dressing. This is the perfect option for someone wanting a fast clean but is looking for better results than just your average car wash drive-through.
Starting at $59.95
This car interior cleaning option includes a floor mat shampoo and vacuum throughout your vehicle. We also wipe down your front dash, instrument panel, console, door panels and interior windows. We recommend this package for drivers who need the inside of their car cleaned but don’t have the time or products to do it themselves.
Starting at $99.95
This package combines the interior and exterior packages and includes an extra level of sanitation inside the vehicle on high-touch point areas. This is the perfect choice to freshen up your vehicle inside and out.
Starting at $249.95
This package includes everything the Deluxe Complete does but levels up in some important ways. Enjoy a floor mat and general spot shampoo, upgraded power wash of the tires and fenders, trunk and cargo area vacuum, an exterior and interior rubber treatment and the removal of any damaging environmental contaminants.
We recommend this one for busy families on the go who need that extra level of care. Kids leave behind debris, dirt, car seat stains, cheerios, tiny fingerprints… we love them, but boy do they make a mess. This package takes your family hauler from a mess on wheels to looking like the day you bought it.
Starting at $449.95
Our Touch Touch Ultimate package is the highest level of interior and exterior cleaning you can get. It includes everything in the Toyota Touch Premium and adds an engine shampoo, complete interior shampoo including your carpet, door panels, and leather conditioning. Finally, our team performs an intricate paint restoration process that removes all environmental residue and tops it off with polish and wax.
This package is the perfect choice for car enthusiasts who want their ride to look immaculate at all times. We also recommend this package for owners looking to sell privately. A detail of this level could raise your resale price by hundreds if not thousands of dollars.
While having a freshly cleaned car exterior can definitely turn a few heads, having a beautifully cleaned car interior is what matters to most drivers. After all, we spend all our time inside the vehicle, right?
We pay attention to the details — like the fingerprints on your dash to the grease stain on your cloth seat. We clean in between the folds of your dash where dirt, dust, and pebbles have been collecting for months.
We wipe, polish, and de-grease the hard-to-reach areas you have to look at every day. So when you pick up your vehicle, the inside of your ride looks and smells as fresh as ever.
Our dealership has been serving Edmonton for over 20 years and we take great pride in that. We care about our customers, some of whom have been with us since the day we opened our doors. That means hiring the best in Edmonton with the expertise to deliver the results our customers have come to expect from us.
When you drop your vehicle off for a car clean at West Edmonton Mall Toyota, you can be sure our team of experts is using the best cleaning products and equipment in the business. From Toyota Touch sanitization to our two-step paint restoration process that leaves your vehicle shining like new, our detail department raises the bar of professional car detailing in Edmonton.

Because West Edmonton Mall Toyota is a locally owned and operated business, we get excited about supporting other local businesses right here in the community. We were even more excited to learn how many small businesses were right beside us in West Edmonton Mall!
If you’re like us and love supporting small businesses, then this blog post is for you. Here is a list of some of our favourite storefronts that sell local products right inside WEM. With everything from jewelry to clothing, wine, flowers, baking and more — there is literally something for everyone.
Most of the staff at West Edmonton Mall are proud Edmontonions. So, a brand that sells merchandise made by Edmontonians and then puts part of the profits back into the community? We are here for it!
Seven80 offers a variety of local products including a men’s underwear line that donates a pair to a local charity with every one sold. They also house a ton of Edmonton Oilers fan gear including a ‘McJesus Take The Wheel’ t-shirt — perfect for playoff season. Rep your northside Edmonton pride with a hoodie or coffee mug or rock some Alberta Beef socks.
Find Seven80 in Phase 1.
We love a business with history and with 20 years of local service under their belt, the team at Prestige Jewellers have become some of the best local jewellers in Edmonton. Their primary location is in Phase 1 in WEM but they also have another storefront in Fort McMurray.
Next to buying a new house or a new Toyota (wink wink), purchasing an engagement ring or special piece of jewelry is one of the biggest expenses you can make. You want a team of professionals working for you that understands the quality of the products and can help you find exactly what you’re looking for.
We have seen firsthand the team at Prestige Jewelers can do just that and we could not recommend them enough!
Our staff loves swinging by Ayco Bakery during break time and picking up some of their fresh house-made pastries. Located in Phase 1 in WEM, this premium bakery uses locally sourced ingredients to make all their goods daily. They offer everything from coffee and tea to chocolate shakes, doughnuts, pastries and more. They also have a ton of vegan options!
Our Recommendation: The Cruffin is a croissant and a muffin combined and we gotta say… it tastes like a little piece of heaven. Pair it with a London Fog or Iced Americano and head into the mall fully caffeinated, and ready to get your shopping done. Ayco Bakery is also available on UberEats!
It always feels better sporting an outfit knowing it was made by local designers. The Skinny can help with that.
Their line of on-trend women’s and children’s fashion includes brands that are unique to Edmonton including a signature cardigan that is one-size-fits-all and restocked often. They also have a monthly book club and personal styling that can be scheduled through their online booking tool.

Shopping at West Edmonton Mall Toyota is unlike any experience you’ve had with other dealerships in the past. Because we’re located in the largest mall in North America, the level of convenience and exclusive benefits we can offer our customers is second to none.
With dozens of retail, food, fitness, entertainment options and more, we want to show how you can make the most of your WEM experience.
As the largest mall in North America, WEM is 5.3 million square feet which is roughly the size of a small city. But hey, who’s counting?
WEM has over 800 stores and services, two hotels, a waterpark and 100 different places to eat and drink. It truly is like its own little village with something to offer just about everyone.
Anyone who has spent time in a car dealership knows how outdated and boring they can feel. Sitting in a crowded waiting room, drinking stale coffee and flipping through an old newspaper sounds about standard, right?
We knew we could do better. Being able to offer our customers access to shopping, fine dining, entertainment experiences and more all within just a few steps of one another was the perfect solution. So how do we recommend you shop and service with us to get the most out of your experience?
Finding the perfect parking spot at WEM can be challenging on busy days. We figured — why not offer a valet parking service for our guests?
We made the process as easy as possible. All you have to do is pull your vehicle through our Valet Station at Entrance 50, drop it off with us and hit the mall. When you’re all finished and ready to head home, swing by our Service Desk with your ticket and we’ll pull your vehicle through our drive-thru.
Valet drop-off costs $20 a day, and you can even have your vehicle serviced or detailed with us while you shop. Just choose the detail package or service you need and pay for it when you pick up your ride at the end of the day. Check out our Valet & Car Wash options!
Now that your car has been dropped off with our valet team, you might be feeling hungry. Luckily, you have over 100 dining choices in every corner of the mall.
Make your way to Bourbon Street and grab a bite at Hudsons Canadian Taphouse, Five & Dive, 1st Rnd, Earls, or Moxies.
If you feel like something a little more elevated, Japanese Village is a great option with personal chefs that cook delicious Japanese cuisine right in front of you.
Or, if you want to be quick, there are three food courts located around the mall that offer over 50 fast food options like Subway, New York Fries, and Orange Julius.
There are also dozens of coffee shops like Starbucks and Second Cup for the remote worker. Our personal favourite java spot is Ayco Bakery. They use local ingredients and freshly bake all their goods every morning. You can find them here. (Their Cruffins are a must-try!)
WEM is also home to Fat Unicorn Brewery if small bites and beers are more your thing. And if you plan on grabbing dinner and want a higher-class experience, Cactus Club and L1 Lounge have fantastic dinner and drink menus for the perfect night out.
There are only so many hours in the day to get everything done, right? WEM is not just a place to shop and eat — it’s a warm place to get errands done, too. Instead of driving around the city to different locations, get all your stuff done in one convenient spot.
Grab some groceries, see a doctor, get your eyes checked, book a haircut… you can even make use of WEM’s Personalized Shopping Service where the professionals get the job done for you. The list of available amenities inside the mall are endless.
Where else in Edmonton can you bring your vehicle in for servicing and then walk next door and check out a new movie with some popcorn? Check the latest showings here.
If new flicks aren’t your thing, get some bowling in at Eds. While walk-ins are available based on availability, we recommend making an appointment beforehand.
If you have time to kill during your next service appointment, why not get a workout in at Crunch Fitness? They offer free single-use drop-in passes for West Edmonton Mall Toyota customers.
They also offer different plans and packages that accommodate busy schedules in case you decide to make Crunch a part of your weekly workout routine.
Thousands of our customers have growing families with little ones that need entertaining. Ever tried keeping a five-year-old entertained while your spouse shops for a new vehicle? We’ve seen firsthand — it’s virtually impossible.
Next time you need to visit us, take the kids to the Waterpark or Galaxyland beforehand. Day passes are available for the whole family and kids under 2 are free.
Turning a boring service appointment or test drive into a family day of fun is one of the best ways to make the most of your WEM experience.
We mentioned there are over 800 stores and services within the mall, right? Every type of store imaginable is right at your fingertips from women’s fashion to men’s formal wear, game stores, bridal boutiques, western wear, shoe stores, wine and liquor stores, jewelry shops and more.
There are also dozens of local retailers with Edmonton-made goods and services where you can spend your money and know you are supporting small businesses.
For example, The Skinny is an Edmonton-owned and operated boutique that features on-trend women’s and children’s fashion and home decor— including brands unique to the Edmonton area.
Under their own label, they’ve designed a signature cardigan that is one-size-fits-all and restocked often. If that’s not enough, they even have a monthly book club and personal styling that can be scheduled through their online booking tool.
We have customers from all over Alberta like in Grand Prairie and Fort McMurray. We want you to get the most out of your next visit with us. The next time you need to see us, why not make a getaway out of it?
Book a room at the Fantasyland hotel and plan a weekend full of activities. Save yourself the hassle of a day trip and get everything you need to do all within a weekend.
This is a great option for out-of-towners who need a bigger multi-day service or who want to finalize a deal on a vehicle right away.
Being inside West Edmonton Mall has allowed us to show our guests a level of convenience that is unlike any other car dealership in Edmonton.
For real — where else can you get access to everything the mall has to offer all within the same warm and accessible location? We even park your vehicle for you if you want.
And for our guests that want to avoid WEM altogether? No worries. We have a separate entrance and exit including a separate parts pick-up desk.
So now that you have taken a look at our handy list of how to make your next trip to WEM the best it can be, here are some useful resources to help plan your visit.
And if you need more tips and tricks, follow us on TikTok, Facebook, and Instagram where we share lots of WEM content, staff recommendations and exclusive offers.
Finding the right stocking stuffers might be the hardest thing on your list this holiday season. What if we told you we have a creative list of last-minute gift ideas your friends and family will go love?
With our handy list on hand and an hour (or two) in West Edmonton Mall, you can feel confident knowing you have the best Christmas gifts on hand to knock socks off this year.
For those new to diffusers, think of them as small misters that breathe fresh essential oils into the air — giving the room a pleasant smell and peaceful glow.
Diffusers are great for those on your list who love some low-maintenance self-care or need something to de-stress their home after a long day of work.
Saje has a variety of diffusers starting at $75 and up. You can also pick up a set of essential oils so your lucky recipient has everything they need to get started. Thankfully, Saje has two handy locations inside of WEM so finding them is easy.

Now we know buying a gym membership for that special someone in your life might not be a wise idea, it makes perfect sense for that friend you know is looking to make a gym change.
Crunch Fitness offers flexible gym plans and dozens of workout classes making that New Year’s resolution a little easier than before. Did we mention they have a holiday offer on right now, too?
This one feels like a no-brainer, but we thought we would include it in case you forgot that almost everyone loves chocolate in their stockings.
Purdys is the creme-de-le creme of chocolates. They have everything from chocolate bars to truffles, hedgehogs, vegan chocolate bars, white chocolate, no-sugar chocolate for the keto enthusiasts and mix-and-match options so you can get a little bit of everything.
Brb…. drooling.
Staycation anyone? The Fantasyland Hotel is the perfect retreat for that person in your life that needs a weekend away… in town. There are theme rooms available or you can level up the luxury with executive and premium suites.
The best part is? You’re right inside the mall which means you have access to dozens of restaurants, shopping, and attractions.
Did you know there is a new craft brewery inside WEM called Fat Unicorn Brewery? Give the beer lover in your life a gift card to check out this hot new spot.
They have six branded beers and a couple of rotating taps that change seasonally. You can find them next to Cactus Club and us!
We are a proud Yeti retailer and carry a wide variety of items including tumblers and more. This is the perfect option for the Yeti enthusiast or outdoor adventurer in your life.

Why not just skip the guesswork and scoop up a West Edmonton Mall gift card?
You can choose any denomination and the lucky recipient can use it at any participating WEM destination. You can purchase one at any of their Guest Service desks.
We can’t forget to mention WEM’s complimentary personal shopping service that helps you get everything done quickly. All you have to do is send them your list and be ready for a curbside pick-up of all your gifts — they even gift wrap.
And if you feel like spoiling yourself with a new vehicle this holiday season, we’re ready to help!
Our brand new showroom is brimmed with the latest Toyota models and we have a fully stocked parts and accessories team to deck you out afterward. Find us near Cactus Club and the Brick.
