Airdrie is just finally getting big box stores - Walmart, Home Depot, Superstore and a new Canadian Tire all just opened up within the last two years - so no, the shopping has long been horrible. Though, oddly enough, Airdrie did get the first Walmart Supercentre in Alberta. Go figure.
And yeah, Towerlane Mall is pretty bad. But then, it was built for a town of 5000, not a city of 30,000. I remember hanging out there 15 years ago, and it was a dump back then.
