Need a St. John's shopping fix? Want to find everything you need in one easy location, but find the idea of spending a day at the mall overwhelming? Enjoy getting lost amongst aisles and aisles of the latest fashions and newest products? Big box shopping centers might be the answer for you! Such stores have become very popular for their wide range of goods and services and most often allow for a larger selection than can be found within the stores in a traditional mall. In Newfoundland and Labrador, the boxes don't come any bigger or more inviting than they do at Stavanger Drive. With just one visit, you'll quickly see one more reason real estate in St. John’s East is in high demand!

Located in the east end, Stavanger Drive is home to a large selection of big box stores, catering to a variety of needs and markets. From finding the finishing pieces for your home, to trying on the perfect pair of shoes, to picking out your very first pet, Stavanger Drive has you covered. If you are looking for general merchandise, you’re certainly no stranger to Wal-mart or Zellers as your go-to stores. Cost-co offers a wide array of products, mostly in bulk and offers free samples to try usually around meal times. Membership is required but that won’t stop you from being able to try out their delicious poutine or a smoked meat sandwich. Kent, Canadian Tire, Rona all offer home building supplies for the builders of the family in search of a new project. A walk through any one of those places might even give you the inspiration you need to finish off your summer deck, or plant a blossoming garden.

For the perfect touch to any home decor or kitchen, you’re sure to find more than a few treasures at Bombay, Bowering, Pier 1 or Paderno. Electronics expertise is supplied by Future Shop, The Source and the recent addition, Best Buy. Henry’s is a little photography specialty store in the area also worth checking out. You’ll discover crafter’s heaven within the aisles of Michael’s; creative types could gladly spend hours within just browsing, but one of their decorating classes might also spark your interest. Home office supplies, and dare I mention upcoming back to school deals can be found at Staples. There is no shortage of places to shop for clothing and accessories. You’re sure to find a great selection for any occasion amongst Old Navy, Reitmans, Winners, Smart Set, Claire’s, Mark’s Work Wearhouse, The Shoe Company, Addition Elle, or even, Thyme Maternity.

You’ll get a fine supply for all of your pet’s needs at Pets Unlimited, and while you’re there make a pit stop with the kids to pet the bunnies. Many restaurants are conveniently located in the area such as McDonald’s, Subway, Tim Horton’s, Swiss Chalet, Boston Pizza, and Pizza Delight. You’ll find Dominion grocery store as well if you are looking to pick up a few things to make a meal at home. Services, such as PC Medic and Aberdeen Dental round off your visit.

For years, shopping in St. John's was a challenge for anyone wanting the latest fashion or home styles. But not any more. Stavanger Drive contributes to a different shopping atmosphere in old St. John's, so check it out... it might have more in store than you bargained for!
