Marlborough Mall Gearing Up to Welcome Two New Restaurants

CALGARY, ALBERTA--(Marketwired - March 16, 2016) - Marlborough Mall, Calgary's community shopping destination for more than 40 years, announces the addition of two new restaurants to its property. Browns Socialhouse^® and The Old Spaghetti Factory are currently breaking ground, and are slated to be built on the west end of the mall, opening in fall 2016. This will be the fifth greater Calgary area (Okotoks and Chestermere included) location for Browns Socialhouse and second Old Spaghetti Factory.

Due to the need of additional restaurants in the northeast community, Marlborough Mall is pleased to continue its expansion of food service options. Over the past year the mall has also added more than 10,000 square feet of space in an effort to increase the number of stores and restaurants in the area.

"Marlborough Mall has been a favourite for northeast shoppers for more than 40 years and we are excited to continue to serve these patrons with the addition of two new restaurants," said Kim Wiltse, Marketing and Specialty Leasing Director, Marlborough Mall. "With more than 170 retailers and strong anchor stores, we are excited for Browns Socialhouse^® and The Old Spaghetti Factory to join us as they will add great value to the mall and surrounding area."

Browns Socialhouse^® is a premium casual dining brand that fills the gap between big box casual and neighbourhood pub. They provide leading edge food and drinks in dynamic spaces where guests get together to socialize with friends or mix it up with people from the neighbourhood. It's fun, casual and sophisticated. More than anything, it's SOCIAL. With 45 locations across 5 provinces, this brand continues to grow rapidly.

The Old Spaghetti Factory Canada was originally founded more than 45 years ago in Gastown, Vancouver under the premise of offering great food at reasonable prices. They have since become renowned for their "all-inclusive meal" in which every entrée comes included with bread, salad, coffee or tea and Spumoni ice cream. They pride themselves on their quality ingredients and to this day, produce all sauces and dressings fresh in-house daily.

Marlborough Mall has set itself apart from other shopping centres in Calgary with its focus on a community experience. The centre offers many free programs and activities to its loyal customers including a daily morning walking group, the child-friendly Little Bugs Club, and an annual Stampede breakfast that hosts over 5,000 Calgarians.
