Spjelkavik has one of Norway's biggest malls (in the area called Moa) and the Spjelkavik branch of the Ålesund public library. Moa was once considered as a potential place for the city's airport, but final plans were made and the airport was built on the nearby island of Vigra instead. Today this area is booming due to not only shopping, but also a central point for logistic connections. Spjelkavik Church is located here.
