You can stop searching for your lost shaker of salt. It'll be found at Margaritaville, opening in 2012. Jimmy Buffet's kitschy chain of Buffet nostalgia restaurants will make its first foray into Calgary to anchor a brand new retail complex at the Calgary Stampede. Just in time for the centennial of the Stampede, Olympic Way will be renamed Stampede Trail and will feature a $170 million retail and office space development.
Apparently there was no bigger draw than Jimmy Buffet's restaurant (I guess Neil Diamond still has yet to start his Sweet Caroline's cupcake chain). Margaritaville is known for outlandish décor like waterslides wrapping around bars, volcanoes erupting with margaritas, and all sorts of Jimmy Buffet memorabilia. The Calgary version, the first in Canada, will feature a 10,000 square foot outdoor patio and live circus entertainment like stilt walkers and balloon artists. So, yeah, that. – R.T.
Margaritaville will open in time for the 2012 Calgary Stampede.
