Every July, Calgary comes alive with the energy, excitement, and unmistakable spirit of the Calgary Stampede—a world-renowned celebration of Western culture that brings over a million visitors to the city. While the rodeo, concerts, and midway take center stage, the impact of Stampede is felt far beyond the gates, especially by businesses operating near the Stampede Grounds.
At JR Mercantile Real Estate Advisors Inc., we know firsthand how proximity to major events can create immense opportunity for retailers, food and beverage operators, and service providers. The influx of tourists, corporate gatherings, and extended hours all translate to increased foot traffic, higher sales potential, and unmatched brand exposure.

We’re proud to highlight one of our featured listings located just steps from the Stampede Grounds—Stampede Station.
