Enjoy Market Square
Atrium
Location: First Level
Open daily from early to late, our beautiful two-story Atrium, filled with natural light, is a lively gathering place in Uptown Saint John. Whether you’re taking a break from shopping, enjoying a meal at our food court or restaurants, relaxing with friends, or using our free Wi-Fi for a quiet moment alone, the Atrium is the perfect spot to unwind. Throughout the year, it also hosts a variety of events, including the Sea Glass Festival, Sip & Savor, Uptown Sparkles, and community job fairs and non-profit initiatives.
The indoor fountain provides a peaceful moment to make a wish. Toss in your coins, knowing that twice a year, Market Square donates the proceeds to a local charity. We’re proud to support our community.

We are also very proud of our Skin Remodeling Machine, the first in NB! This is a brand new technology offered by Element5, which works to combat the causes and not merely the symptoms of aging. This system diminishes dermal density and muscle atrophy, the two conditions at the root of facial structural aging.

Aveda, The Art and Science of Pure Flower and Plant Essences, was founded in 1978 with the goal of providing beauty industry professionals with high performance, botanically based products that would be better for service providers and their guests, as well as for the planet.
