About The Red Mile™...
You've heard about it on TV, you've read about it in the papers, and you've seen it on the internet. NOW, come and visit it!
We are THE destination in Calgary for local and international visitors to come to for their shopping and entertainment needs. In June 2004 alone, our website received almost 9 million hits making it an instant success story as far away as Tampa Bay! Over the last 16 years, we have accumulated over 35 million hits from all around the globe. When our beloved Calgary Flames are doing well, we average 100,000-200,000 hits per month as people search for what’s new along 17th Avenue. In our first 5 years, we were ranked #1 in the yahoo search engine, usually #4 in Google, and in the Top 100 searches on SearchCalgary.ca.
During the Calgary Flames’ amazing 2004 NHL playoff run for the Stanley Cup, and again in 2006 and 2015, this area became "party central" for Flames fans at numerous bars and restaurants along 17th Ave SW. The area continues to remain vibrant as a tourism and shopping destination so come see what else the mile had to offer!.
Our plans are for The Red Mile™ to be heavily promoted during high traffic events like the Stampede parade, at the fair grounds, at trade shows and conventions, by tourism bureaus and travel agents, in taxi cabs, in movie theatres, and at numerous other venues, all year long, as the ultimate travel destination in Calgary. Numerous marketing and business opportunities exist for ambitious entrepreneurs to help with these endeavors.
