Bridge is located in the heart of Bridgeland one of Calgary’s most culturally diverse areas.

This award-winning urban community features some of the city’s best shops, restaurants, and entertainment. With a small town feel this walkable community, just northeast of Calgary’s downtown, is a great place to park your bike, e-scooter, or car and explore on foot.

Bridgeland is the neighbourhood for you!

There are more reasons to visit Bridgeland Market than to snap a photo of the sayings on the building’s famously hilarious marquee sign.

It’s the kind of old-school corner grocery store where neighbours connect and catch up with the owner while they shop. Co-owner Yousef Traya is a fourth-generation grocer. His parents’ grocery store was in Bridgeland Market’s current space from 1981 to 2004. In 2011, Traya rebranded the store to give it a more modern, hip look.

The store sells produce and deli items, dry goods, sweet treats such as baked goods, Made By Marcus ice cream, and Rosso coffee. Items are sourced locally and internationally, and if you can’t find a product you want, you can suggest it via the market’s website. There are also unique offerings such as custom-made floral bouquets, a cheese of the month club, and the staff will even help you build your own charcuterie board to take home. 

“Love this little market. Yousef is the cornerstone of Bridgeland.”

Bridgeland has all of the charm of a small town, but it is smack dab next to the downtown core, just separated by the beautiful Bow River.

You will see many residents of the community out jogging, cycling and walking with pets.  With plenty of local shops, restaurants and community events to keep locals active, this is a peaceful neighbourhood perfect for you!
