I couldn't find Broadmead Mall so just listed it under Thrifty's. Everything is at Broadmead Mall- excellent Thai Food (Ban Thai), pizza (Romeo's), liquor store, Heirloomm Linens, Pharmasaze, Canadian Tire, CIBC bank.... as well as Thrifty's where I do all my food shopping I can't get at the Red Barn or the Root Cellar which are smaller and more locally sourced.
