I have been coming to Markham Town Square for decades. As usual, I tend to focus on stores than I…read moredidn't even notice this listing until today. It's situated on the northeast corner of Warden Avenue and Highway 7, across the street from Markham Civic Centre. My first visit here was in grade 12. I wanted to go to my first major concert. Madonna was doing a couple of shows at SkyDome. I'm dating myself and I don't care. I needed a wristband to get my place in line, well before doing anything online was a thing. My best bet was getting one at a music store at Markham Town Square. My dad drove us up here. We lived in the Beaches. My mom wrote a letter to show my teachers that I needed to be excused from their classes. Thank goodness I was a good kid and student to swing this arrangement! In short, I got my tickets. I paid for them, even though my dad insisted on paying. I was elated. I made it back to school in time for my French class. I couldn't stop smiling. Markham Town Square will always have a special place in my heart. Little did I know that I'd become a Markhamite and visit this place regularly years later. This music store is long gone. There used to be a Chinese restaurant between the No Frills, and Town Gift & Postal Service. It has changed names over the years. It's the only store that is vacant these days. No Frills is your grocery store. I never have any problems finding what I need here. The selection is decent and I've never been disappointed shopping here. Town Gift & Postal Service is a non-descript store that you wouldn't expect to be a post office. People often hit Shoppers Drug Mart and are disappointed to learn that it doesn't have a post office. Town Gift & Postal Service is your post office. The folks who run this store are nice. It does get busy thanks to the post office part of this business. There used to be a Mr. Sub. It's gone. I was sad. I'm happy to see that a Korean eatery is about to take its place. I probably frequent these businesses the most: - Shoppers Drug Mart - Felix & Norton Cookies - McDonald's This Shoppers is convenient to get to. If I need to grab something quickly, I can here. There's lots of parking that it's rarely an issue. Felix & Norton Cookies are amazing. I love their gourmet cookies, perhaps more than I should. It's the butter that makes them so decadent. It has Pusheen products, which is a bonus. I like this McDonald's. Staff are friendly and I have yet to have anyone mess up my order. I tend to hit the drive-thru. This plaza has another drive-thru, which makes it stand out. You rarely see a couple of drive-thrus in close proximity, but you do here. The other is Scotiabank. The lane is tighter than McD's, but it works. For the longest time, the store where Canada Computers & Electronics is was vacant. It used to be a Future Shop. When it shuttered for good, it was empty for years, with a brief stint as a returning office for one of the elections. I love Canada Computers. It brings out the geeky side of me. There is a lot to look at and prices are pretty good. Next to Canada Computers is Honeymoon Dessert. It was previously a Menchie's. It's a nice addition to get your dessert fix, including really good fruit teas. I have frequented Cora's, Teriyaki Experience, and Pizza Pizza over the years. All have been at this plaza for years. I still haven't visited all businesses. Wonton Hut comes to mind. One of these days, I'll cave and place an order. This plaza has everything I need. Food. Burgers. Cookies. Computer accessories. Dessert. It suits my needs nicely. (172)

We each ordered from a different place and shared it all. First up, was BBQ Duck and Roast Pork over rice, from HKS BBQ. This included vegetables and soup. Delicious! Lunch Box provided a combo meal that included lamb, pork, noodles, rice, and soup. The portions were huge, and it all tasted great! We got a vegetarian Pad Thai from Wiangkuk Thai Food that was also very good. One of my cousins picked up a Teriyaki Chicken that was a huge portion, and also included soup. I'm not sure which vendor provided that but it was good. We also got Scallion Pancakes that were really good. Bubble Teas completed our meal! It's hard to beat the food at this place. It was a good day of eating. We all enjoyed all the food and ended up taking home leftovers. After a very filling lunch, we explored the shops. There were a lot of interesting places but we were disappointed to find several of them closed for the day.

The mall is usually quiet. There's a lot of empty stores, I guess a lot of them had shut down since there's not much traffic similar to Pacific Mall. The one thing I don't like is for some reason there's absolutely no signal or data connection when you're inside the mall. It's so inconvenient if you're trying to make a call or use data and you can't.

You have to go to the center of the space where you'll find the doors which lead you to the escalators which will take you to where you want to go upstairs. Note that we didn't see any signage directing us to the center. Once upstairs, it's really nothing impressive. Only if you want to try a few eateries within the food court. One was recommended by a popular YouTuber. There's also the one or two restaurants and the supermarket. Otherwise, IMO it's not really worth our drive to Woodbine, north of 16th Ave.

It can be mistaken for Woodside Square, which is the shopping mall at McCowan and Finch in Scarborough. I used to come here often. Gone are stores such as Roots, Danier, Michaels, and Club Monaco. These days, I shop at Winners, Staples, Kitchen Stuff Plus, Chapters, and Longo's. I like the Kelsey's Roadhouse when I feel like wings and things. There's also a Home Depot and Winco Supermarket. I haven't been to either store. One of these days, I'll give them a try. There is lots of parking. A few years ago, a number of electric charging stations were set up across from Kelsey's. Often, you'll see folks sitting in their cars, waiting for them to charge up before they take off. The Chapters no longer has a Starbucks. It's a shame because I loved grabbing a drink and casually perusing the store while sipping. If you do need your Starbucks fix, you can get it at Longo's. You can earn double the points by scanning both your Starbucks rewards and Longo's barcodes. The old Michaels store is now a Joe Fresh outlet. I still need to drop by and see what goodies I can get. It's a decent plaza. I hope that the turnovers have stopped! (473)

On my first visit here I was able to purchase Japanese waterproof eyeliner, a plastic bench scraper for cutting dough, and a nail clipper. Prices are reasonable with all of these products in the price range of $1 to $17. Cash only for purchases is less than $30.

The Peachtree Mall is old. It was built somewhere in the late 1990's to early 2000's (I don't know…read morethe exact year). I recall that the Sweet Culture is one of the original stores from the beginning. The owner advertised on the Chinese TV station to promote their traditional Chinese sweet soups and desserts. People patronized Sweet Culture after seeing midnight Chinese movies at the former Market Village. The (now) new guy behind the counter looks so similar to the original owner that I swear they are related (LOL). The New City Restaurant is another original store. The store next to the current Eat With Fun Roast Restaurant was originally a gift and craft store. Enough for the nostalgia. The mall building has not been kept up with times. There has been no renovation, but some upkeeping works are done. The saving graces are the various eateries. From roast meat, to Shanghainese delights, to steamed pot rice, to Hong Kong cafes, to Hong Kong western diner - they serve unapologetically authentic comfort food from the far east. Looking through the windows, the numerous faces in each and every stores tell you the food here win their seals of approvals. According to a Chinese friend who is a construction worker, there is not a single bad HK milk tea in this mall. I love coming to Peachtree Mall for good food, good milk tea, good value and good nostalgia.

Yea, we always called in mong gok because that's what it's called in Chinese. I actually just went not too long ago, and they changed the sign to "New Kennedy Square", although I still see Peachtree Mall on one of the signs. A couple stores have changed since this plaza has opened, but there have been shops that have been here for decades, like the store that sells popcorn and cotton candy. Or the store that sells sugar cane drinks. More food court booths have opened here, though the one that is directly in the middle of the food court always seems to close, probably because feng shui isnt as great in the spot, no idea tbh. The not so dollar, dollar store is here selling any item you can think of. There are fewer bootleg dvd shops as before. I remember bootleg dvds were like $20 for 3 or $10 for 3 when they were popular in the day. Parking can be difficult during peak times such as Saturday for dinner, but you shouldn't need to wait long for a spot.
