Dufferin Mall is where I shop and always find the items I need. The mall has many clothing, accessories, and shoe shops. It also includes a Walmart, Winners, and Marshall's. It can be crowded at the mall, particularly in the food court. However, I've always managed to get a good seat. It's not as fancy or opulent as some of Toronto's other malls, but I still like the atmosphere. read more

Love this mall go here all the time! They have great store options and recently just opened a new sephora( which I think it needs.) Food court is not the best food court ever but still has pretty good options. They have a good parking lot other than not having enough electric car spots underground. read more

I grew up coming to this mall for back to school shopping, and was delighted to see it improve in recent years and deeply saddened to witness what I did today, this mall was a literal ghost town, and a bit Orwellian with shoppers having to announce their reason for wanting to enter the mall. Inside practically everything is CLOSED, so before planning to come here call ahead to the store of your choosing to ensure they are open, not that it matters if you want to go walk around, as security which were hired from an outside company do not appear familiar with which tenants occupy this mall. Poor choice on the part of management but planning ahead will negate any undesirable experience when visiting Dufferin mall, keep in mind essential services are open but non essentials are closed, that being said this mall has a Wal Mart. read more

I had difficulty with the parking at this mall because I was unaware that there was underground parking. Pro tip to anyone that there's lot of space in underground parking and also a plus in the summer as you don't have to get back to a hot car. Anyways, the mall has different offerings, the food court has barely any spots to eat in especially during the COVID season. The prices I find are still expensive. It was a nice place to explore. However, it is also connected to a Walmart and the washroom needs a lot of cleanup. I recommend the washroom in the mall as they have the UV light hand dryer; it was really cool to see that. I also managed to buy something from blue notes and reitmans in the mall. Also I had lunch at KFC. Overall nice place to look around in. May not have the best deals though. read more

This was my first time at Dufferin Mall. They have an enclosed parking garage that is free to park in. You can enter from the parking garage right into the mall. There were some stores that were noteworthy like the Gamestop, H&M, The Body Shop, and Bath & Body Works. Some Canadian classics make an appearance like Dynamite/Garage and Aldo/Call It Spring/Globo. They also have a pretty good food selection ranging from staples like McDonald's and Tim Hortons to Uncle Tetsu and a KFC/Taco Bell on the exterior. It's not a huge mall so if you are going back and forth between stores it's a really easy walk. read more

A no frills mall packed during the lunch hour with students and the elderly. Decent size food court if you decide to take a break from shopping. Don't let the front entrance fool you, once you enter, this is a rather large mall involving plenty of walking distance. Watch out for the elderly racing in their motorized carts. Another older lady was apparently screaming at no one in particular while I was enjoying my poutinue in the food court. If the elderly don't scare you, then you'll enjoy this mall read more

See all

I wouldn't say this is a mall you would want to have a shopping spree at because the stores in here are really basic and limited. It's got Forever21, Gap, Footlocker, Tommy Hilfiger...etc. And larger department/grocery stores like Winners, Marshalls, Walmart, No Frills...etc. This mall is more of a after school, after work hang out spot when you have nothing to do and just wanna chill with friends. They have a large food court with some of the basic food court restaurants, Tim Hortons, Starbucks...etc. And a Swiss Chalet. Overall, it's a good mall in the neighbourhood for your basic needs, but nothing fancy and big like some other malls in Toronto. read more

See all

good to have near if you live in the vicinity for that walmart or bath and body works essential you need. other than that it has gotten somewhat better through last few yrs when they added some stuf like f21 now bankrupt, ae, starbucks, bbw, tbs, bigger h&m and even lcbo. just a better variant of a neighbourhood mall which you can't have great expectations of anyway. better for it to be there than not. also food court has been refreshed and has quite a few decent options, I like it better than the Urban Eatery or the Yorkdale/Sherway ones tbh. it will continue to change with new condos being built on the site of the demolished school. read more

Dufferin Mall - Shopping Centers Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

This place is a warp zone from a super Mario brothers video game, it attracts all kinds of koopa troopa looking people and it's share of spiny turtle shell looking mutants. But the mall "with it all" as the old saying goes well...really does. If you can get by the parked police cars at the entrance, onion stench coming from the cell phone case kiosk and children running and screaming in the opposite direction then you are bound to find NoFrills. It's at the back next to the Swiss Chalet. Yes, The Swiss Chalet that always seems to be filled with actors you'd see in a Swiss chalet commercial.. that one. Pretty sure anyone that goes here will pay with a gift card... I love "The Duff" and you will too, just make sure you find a seat before buying food in the cafeteria. Those empty tables go fast and YOU SHOULD TOO!, Hanging out in the mall longer then 30 minutes can cause drowsiness. (FYI: I'm not a doctor) Enjoy the Duff : ) read more

Dufferin Mall - Shopping Centers Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

SUFFERIN MALL. The winners and marshalls aren't too bad (lines are often slow), poor customer service. Used to be fairly ghetto/rundown, now it's mostly a bad design and uninteresting. read more

The Duff! Truly an incomparable shopping experience. This is not a flattering review, but I think I love this place. Read on, friends. It is by far the grossest shopping complex in Toronto, but sometimes the pull of a Walmart, Toys R Us or the Pizza Hut/Taco Bell/KFC mini food court in the middle of the parking lot is just too strong. I really hate coming here, but I make the trek about 5 times a year. Those Walmart flyers will get ya! I'm a big fan of their Dollarama, it's really disorganized, but has a lot of the nicer $2 items on hand that other locations seem to run out of, like vases. This last sentence seems like I'm being snarky, but I'm serious. The buyer at the H&M in The Duff should be the buyer at Suzie Sheer. Ugh. Also best to avoid the Gap Factory store, I know these are extras, but this place also looks like it was curated by Ms. Sheer herself. The girl at the Frozen Yogurt kiosk is very, very friendly, though her toppings don't seem to pair well with FroYo. Melon bits on Strawberry frozen yogurt? Weird. If you're with a shopping buddy make sure they are familiar with the shit show that is The Duff and are a patient individual. Otherwise, you might not like each other after the visit. I know many strong relationships that have dissolved at the hands of this dark mistress. PEPPER POINTS: For having a Babies R Us. I'm neck deep in baby showers. read more

4 stars since they have a Toys r Us and EB Games, and a bonus star for the Cinnabon. If you're looking for parking, there's always available spots in the one directly in front of Taco Bell. read more

Close your eyes and picture this. A number of trees in the food court, with birds flying around eating your food. This is what Dufferin Mall used to look like 20 years ago, when McDonald's still sold pizza. Since their renovations, more and more well known stores have set up shop. If you live in the community, it's amazing because you can purchase your day to day necessities all here! From Wal-Mart, No Frills, Dollarama, among many clothing shops. I never need to travel far to purchase what I need. The mall continues to undergo renovations. But it definitely has come a long way from having birds surround my fries. read more

I used to come to this mall as a kid and what can I say, they have changed it completely. The mall used to be a bit on the ghetto side, but I used to always frequent Walmart and Toys R Us. i still do the same, except the mall now contains many higher end stores that people love. Including H&M, Marshalls, Winners and various other clothing stores. Also there are great budget shops such as Dollarama and the ever popular Walmart to get household supplies and other items you may need to stock up on. The mall itself has come a long way from what it was before. It used to look like a run down strip mall, and now it looks a bit better with all the renovations and new decor. I mean it's no Yorkdale, but it's something very decent for the area on the West end of Toronto. The mall does get a lot of traffic, but I find the supply and stock for all my favourite stores are usually great. The H&M isn't picked clean like the Eaton Center location and the Walmart usually isn't sold out of all their door crasher and sale items such as other ones around the city. Overall a great mall to visit with plenty of options for food, clothing, groceries and household items. I definitely enjoy coming here over places like STC, Yorkdale and Fairview! read more

This has always been the closest mall wherever I've lived in Toronto (I've always lived in the west end). When I moved to Toronto in 1987, the Dufferin Mall was a dump ... dirty with no food court. Over the years, it's cleaned itself up and has been renovated in the last two. Big brand name stores have pushed most of the independent stores out (some deserved to go). The Dufferin Mall has pretty well everything I need ... except a liquor store (it left in the 1990s). Most of the time I'm not in the mood for a monstrosity like Square One or Yorkdale anyway. read more

Dufferin Mall has come a long way since the 1980s. I will always have special place in my heart for Dufferin Mall since my mom used to take my brother and I there when we were kids, when it was a bit of a ghetto mall, the anchor store was Woolco and their was still a Biway there. Dufferin Mall actually has a really neat history about how in the 1990s mall management worked with community partners to address problems like crimes and street drugs. The story is quite inspirational. You can read the story from the Caledon Institute of Social Policy here: http://www.caledoninst.org/publications/pdf/hall.pdf The Mall now is much bigger, brighter and cleaner than it once was. I love that it has a Winners and a Marshalls. The anchor store now is Walmart, there is also a No Frills. They have regular stores like Reitmans, Sirens, and Suzy Shier. They also have a Dollarama. There is a Gap Factory Outlet. The Catholic Children's Aid Society's office is here, as is Skills for Change (a non-profit organization that provides learning and training opportunities for immigrants and refugees to enter the workforce or to get better jobs). Dufferin Mall is very much a community mall. There are no high end stores here. It's a mall for the working class and the middle class. I might be biased because I spent a large chunk of my childhood here, but I like Dufferin Mall. It's very multicultural. You will hear lots of different languages spoken here. It's genuine and unpretentious. read more

This isn't the run down mall I grew up going to... back in the day I remember coming all the way out here when it still had a bowling alley (where the Marshall's is now). Then it got even more run down. But since it underwent quite a bit of reno a while ago now, it's now a much more serviceable mall. For a value oriented mall, it's got both a winners and marshall's, a Walmart, no frills, and a Dollarama. If you're looking for Gucci or Versace, I think you made a wrong left turn somewhere. read more

If you have to use the washroom at this mall, prepare to be disgusted. It never gets cleaned so there's dirty (brown) toilet paper on the floor and pee on the seats. In EVERY stall. read more

Dufferin Mall - Every stall looks like this. - Shopping Centers Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Review is specifically for the security department. Me and my wife shopped at a couple of stores and left a bag from bath and body works at Aldo assessories. After 3 days my wife had to fly overseas and while Packing we figured out that we left out bag having gifts at Aldo. We called them and the sales person being honest told that we left the bag there and she handed over to customer support desk. We spoke their and they said they handed over to security. We went to security, they tried to locate the bag as they didn't find in their custody. They started investigation about shifts of various people at customer desk and their department.. When we informed them that my wife has to fly next day, without waiting any long he offered us to buy the stuff we lost and they would figure out with investigation in the meanwhile, as we needed to pack and be prepared to leave next day. He went out of the way being sensitive about the issue and stretching over to resolve the issue. Highly Highly appreciate your support sir. We hope you could locate the bag and get it reimbursed from bath and body. It's wasn't about money, but commitment and attitude towards helping and being honest. Thank you again for such service sir. Everyone works for what they are paid, but some stars shine bright who are ready to go a little extra mile. read more

This mall is what it is. It serves the void for a a shopping center in this neighborhood I guess. Located within a walking distance to the subway this mall houses the all important Walmart. People might complain and cringe but the largest retailer in the world is here to stay and if you are looking for a decent price guess where are you going to go? Unlike many big cities we at least don't have to trek to the suburbs to go to Walmart. It also houses one of the bigger no frills I have been to so thats another positive. In addition there is a Best Buy Mobile which is a bad thing from my experience there. There is a bigger The Source store and then the rest of forgetful stores. I would say an average mall with a small mix of standard stores. read more

I wish I went here first! Great team of people who work here and all have been absolutely amazing! As a guy, I have anxiety after a certain amount of time in a jewelry store. Aarushi helped me calm my nerves down and really walked me through my choices and offerings. She is absolutely fantastic and I will be back! Tiago was amazing as well! He provided me with great options and worked out an alternative solution to my dilemma of stock options. My ring was finalized, engraved and processed for shipping within 24 hours of the purchase and 2 weeks earlier than expected. Do yourself a favor and stop shopping around. Go to where they put people first at Peoples. Ask for Aarushi and Tiago. They will take great care of you and make you feel like a million bucks! or like a 19K gold flawless diamond! I'll be back mostly because of these two employees. You won't be disappointed. #PeoplesFirst read more

Is it the best-of-the-best of malls? No. But it's also not bad! For one, I appreciate that Dufferin mall has free underground parking considering its downtown location, which I can't get at places like Eaton. Of course it doesn't have nearly as good of a selection of shops and stores but it does have a nice big Walmart which is always handy! And a Dollarama too, which is useful. In terms of stores, the best of its selection would likely be the Winners, H&M, Bath and Body Works... though you might also be interested in their Urban Planet, Marks Warehouse, and others. I also quite enjoy their food court as the selection is fair, with a Popeyes, Real Fruit Tea, KFC, New York Fries, Pizza Pizza... A burrito and sushi place that I can't recall the exact names of, and more! There's even a Swiss Chalet within the mall, in case you want a restaurant style meal rather than food court. I've been quite a few times and service is friendly. There's also some snack options outside of the main food court area like Mr. Pretzel and Tim Hortons. The mall is a decent size, so it's nice to be able to walk around after eating as well. All in all, this mall has what you need for a one stop shop. read more

This mall keeps updating itself every few years which is a testament of its value to the community and to investors. Although this is not posh like Yorkdale, it would be incorrect to call it ghetto. The atmosphere is clean and comfy like a pair of favourite sneakers that won't let you down. The place is well maintained because it generates enough business - it is busy - but not over crowded. With key stores of No Frills, Walmart, Winners, Marshall's, and Dollarama, you can get in and get out without breaking the bank. Free parking. Bus to the front door. Other notables, they have the only GAP factory store in town and you can order your Starbucks in a sit down cafe that is not just a kiosk in the food court. I live nearby and really appreciate it. read more

Dear Dufferin Mall, I love everything about you. I love that you have a fish counter at No Frills. I love that Dollarama has perfectly good whole wheat crackers. I love your garden centre man who always gives me extra basil plants if I'm wearing something revealing. Bless you. read more

Where can I start? I'm literally laughing as I type this. Ok... here... This mall has three purposes - contraception and Walmart and H&M shopping. Other than those three ...there isn't a lot. Why contraception? This is family madness! Staring at them, tons of kids in tow, will make you think twice of having kids. Mall goers are ... The upside? Free parking. Zip. You don't have to pay unlike the nearby Eaton's Centre. And there's Walmart where everything cheap can be bought - not necessarily of good quality. Ok, this is not a place to roam around...this is a "I have to buy something" mall. Go inside with a mission... a plan... buy it and run. read more

***FREE covered parking for 3hrs*** Why would I come here?: Marshalls, maybe No Frills (if you live nearby), Walmart, Dollarama, or Winners. That's basically it. Has potential, but something about this "mall" oozes ghetto. I think it's the lack of natural light, crowded and narrow walkways, low ceilings, & of course, the crowd. This isn't very obvious at Marshalls, but as you access the rest of mall, it's quite obvious. I visited on a fairly warm Saturday afternoon and the halls were literally heated with body heat. No AC/ventilation whatsoever. Food court is still undergoing some renos as the floors were all torn up. Nothing to see here, folks. Move along... read more

They have revamped the place since the last time I've been here. Unfortunately, even a makeover doesn't really change the crowds that come here. There are a lot of families, and young people, but there are also a lot of strange bearded people that like to talk to you. With a no Frills, Walmart and Winners, the place is really busy, but there is also a high turnover in parking. We came here because there was a photobooth ($5 for 2 poses and 8 photos). and to try the new Cream Brewery. The stores here include and Aldo and Garage and a very big Source. I wouldn't recommend here for shopping, but if you're looking for a specific store it's fine. It's easier than going to Yorkdale. read more

Dufferin Mall ticks a lot of useful boxes: - Easy to get to using transit (bus/subway) - A nice end-to-end one level sprawl means no real getting lost trying to find the store you're after - It's got a good mix of stores so you can get a lot done while you're there. The combo of Wal-Mart and No Frills, with the bonus Dollarama, usually does it for me. I'll occasionally pop into H&M or Reitmans/Suzy Shier, depending on my mall madness levels. Facilities are good, the mall's usually pretty clean, and even the food court isn't too hideous. I still can't bring myself to give a mall more than 3 stars, but Dufferin Mall gets it easily. After all, i'm usually in and out of there before the urge to kill rises.. read more

As soon as you enter you know this is no where close to a high end mall. It's there it does the job. I have often found unique pieces and its a good way to kill time and fairly close to the Dufferin subway station. Also helps that there is a Toys R Us in this mall for a board game geek :) read more

Dufferin Mall aka "The Ghetto Mall" is really a mall meant to be loved by people who hate malls (such as me!) It's not upscale by any means, nor is it huge. There are some shady characters around, sure, but not the types who make you feel unsafe. Duff Mall does have an adequate selection of stores - mostly cheap to mid price-range. You can really get in and GET OUT. It has a simple 1 story floor plan, plus it is not packed. For anyone who simply cannot handle the chaos of the Eaton Centre or Yorkdale, Dufferin Mall is a great alternative. I especially like the H&M here. It's big and has lots of change rooms. I can actually try stuff on without having to wait in line! read more

I know more about Dufferin Mall than any of you who posted here. I grew up across the street from the Mall when it was the Dufferin Race Track. Often I would feed sugar cubes to the horses in their stables. Then the Race Track was converted to Dufferin Plaza, I believe the 2nd plaza in Toronto, although the first was in the suburbs. Next Dufferin Plaza was converted to Dufferin Mall. I hate it because there is too much walking. With Dufferin Plaza you could drive, walk, or cycle to each store. I have not been in Dufferin Mall for 2 years and will never enter it again. During a freezing cold winter day I was severely harassed by a fascist security guard for wearing a hood as I was leaving the mall. I told him we were not located in Florida, I was leaving, and to leave me alone. He created a disturbance and claimed I created a disturbance. I'm good at complaining, so he was fired. Nowadays I only use Walmart and occasionally No Frills. I always enter through the outside parking lot area, and in my journal at night I write that I visited Dufferin Plaza. In fact I did. read more

Dufferin Mall. you are within a ten minute walk from my house, so why did I bike? More importantly, did those sketchy kids who stole my bike seat think I would give up and just leave my bike there, sans seat? Screw you sketchy Dufferin Mall kids! I see you over there, watching me, laughing. I rode the bike home without a seat. If it wasn't for Walmart I would never enter your recently glossed up doors. The paint may be new, but the feeling of hopelessness I feel every time I go inside isn't. read more

OK, maybe I wouldn't spend a whole day at Dufferin Mall, hanging out in the food court and playing on the coin-activated kids toys. BUT, as a place in the downtown core to get your shopping done, Dufferin Mall rules. a) No Frills. The Dominion on College is expensive. No Frills is cheap. And they have President's Choice stuff. And they make you bring your own bags so you're not wasting plastic. b) Wal-Mart. As much as you may hate Wal-Mart (especially after the trampling of that poor person on Black Friday), things are cheap. When you are a student, or if you pay high rent, having Wal-Mart is a godsend. Buy all of your toiletries here because Shoppers Drug Mart overcharges like all hell. c) Winners. Unlike College Park's Winners, this one gets far less attention and is picked over less. More stuff, more selection, less people. How is that bad? d) Dollarama. If you are ashamed to shop at Dollarama, you should probably get over yourself. Sometimes you just need something and you don't want to spend a lot of money on it. Like a tupperware container. Or an apron. Or gift wrap. Dollarama's your place for all of these things and more. These are my key stops but it's also worth mentioning that they have a decent H&M (one that carries the Divided line, which a lot of them do not), Aeropostale for cheap generic clothes, a Toys R Us if you want to be surrounded by ravenous children, and a bunch of sports stores. Hate on it all you want, I still love going to Dufferin Mall. read more

I know exactly how Indiana Jones felt before he entered the Temple of Doom: questioning his mortality, nauseous and yet determined. I feel the very same way before I pass through the portals of Dufferin Mall (DM). You see, DM, especially on the weekends, is inhabited by erstwhile humans (and their spawns) who have now turned into hardened zombies in search of a good deal. Their noses buried in weekly fliers (elbows sticking out), their faces turned at 90 deg to their walking path, these people have usually no consideration for their fellow beings. They'll elbow, stomp, bump etc etc in their quest for the holy grail of deals at any of the box and not-so-box stores in the mall. Admittedly, this is a service mall and has a couple of useful anchor stores: Walmart, No Frills, Toys R Us, Winners, Dollarama and jolly old Swiss Chalet. As a result, it's always swarming with people who run around like chickens with their heads cut off. It's also a magnet for Little Portugal's old white men who have plenty of time to ogle aforementioned running chickens. Regardless of the do-over, DM feels oppressive and sad. Sure, the savings I make, do light a feeble spark in me, but that's promptly extinguished at the sight of the snaking line in front of the Tim Horton's. Why wait 20 mins for terrible coffee? I can drown my sorrows a couple doors down at the wine shop that gives out free samples as if they're preparing for the second coming of Jesus! I wish that DM had multiple floors to ease the flow of people especially on the weekend. Maybe they should've split the box stores up and done away with some of the rubbish stores entirely: International Clothiers and the gold pawn shop come to mind. You can prepare for all sorts of milestones at the DM: From picking out a tux for your wedding, to framing your wedding pics, to buying tickets for your honeymoon, to buying bad wine for your mother in law, to buying stuff for your impending tyke. It's quite the comprehensive mall, but, ironically, in its eagerness to please and effort to be eclectic DM just ends up displeasing me and ends up feeling hodge-podge-y. Maybe, if I were Moses, Gandalf or any other superhero I'd have an easier time at the DM. read more

"Joe, you wanna meet on the third bench from the North Entrance tomorrow at 8:30am? I'll be sitting there until 1:30, then i'll move to one of the tables at the Tim Horton's." Seems like there's a shortage of places to sit in this mall. Benches are almost always covered in old people chatting or just people-watching. Same thing in the food court. I'm torn as to whether this is a good thing or a bad thing. Sometimes I just want to sit down for a few minutes to rest or eat my lunch in the food court but finding a place to sit is like looking for Waldo in one of those Where's Waldo books. That being said this mall is great. It's definitely a "family" mall. It's always full of people like me: mothers with young children running errands or just wanting to get out of the house. That's what makes it great! It's convenient and extremely affordable. If you're looking for Cartier or Burberry - you're in the wrong place. Heck, don't even try looking for a Jacob - this ain't the place. Musts: - The Gap Factory Outlet store: it's Gap clothing marked down 40 - 60% off - so inexpensive it's hard to resist. This is by far my favourite store in this mall. - The No Frills has a really decent selection - it's one of the larger stores downtown. - The H&M isn't bad. Avoid: - Toys R Us. Consistently understaffed. Expect to wait in line at cash even at 11am on a Wednesday morning. - Wal-Mart on weekends. If you have any sense of self-preservation you'll want to avoid this madness. Also, it's like the apocalypse in there on holidays... consider yourself warned. - The washrooms. I only ever use the family washroom and have tried nursing the wee one in there. I wouldn't recommend it. There's a constant flow of people with screaming children coming in and out. Luckily I live close enough that I can usually avoid having to use these facilities. read more

I love Dufferin Mall. It looks terrible from the outside and I avoided it for a long time, but if you live in the west end of the city, it's so much more convenient to walk over there instead of the crazy busy Eaton's Centre or Yorkdale. My favourite part is the huge H&M. While the Walmart and No Frills at this mall are always ram-jammed, the H&M is never busy. They always have so many good sizes, no wait for the change room and lots of inventory. They also have a decent Winners and a few good shoe stores - Aldo and Spring. read more

Wow - this place is pretty handy! I've lived in the general vicinity of Dufferin Mall for over a year and it took me that long to actually go in. Out of Hallowe'en necessity, I made a trip to the Walmart here. But when I saw the line up for check out, I decided I would see if the rest of the mall had what I had come for instead. It's a surprisingly decent mall considering I really had no idea what I was in for and the next closest mall is the Galleria at Dupont and Dufferin (which I also entered for the first time ever just prior to hitting Dufferin Mall - scary). Dufferin Mall is by no means anything special, but H&M, Winners, and a handful of other typical mall stores in this much smaller venue means that you will quickly find what you need and get out - because who really wants to spend much time in a mall anyway? Free parking too! read more

This mall is pretty small compared to the other Toronto malls. I've only visited this place twice and I had a terrible experience at one of the stores, Sirens. There was a dress there that only had 1 xs left. I went to check out other stores before I wanted to buy it. I was gone for 30 mins and when I came back, 1/3 of the rack was gone. I looked around and found them on the cashier counter. I went through the pile and couldn't find my size. Someone must have bought it. A lady approached and demanded, "What the hell are you doing?" Yes, she used those exact words. As I was explaining my situation, she rudely brushed me off. I don't think that is how you should be treating your customers. Another coworker noticed this and came to help me. I didn't look at other dresses or purchased anything else because of this terrible experience. I will never shop at this store again either. Other than that, the rest of the stores I've visited had the usual salesperson that greets you and asks if you need any help. That lady should definitely learn from them! read more

I won't deny that this mall has everything - and when I say "everything" I mean both the "everything" one needs out of convenience (Wal*Mart, No Frills, Rogers Wireless, Tim Hortons etc...) and the other "everything" (Toys 'R' Us, The Beers Store and various shoe stores). But if I may give you a word of advice, from me to you, plan what you need from that place, go in and get out. Admittedly, I haven't been there in a while simply based on so many bad experiences there, all involving the Wal*Mart and all involving mediocre at best service. And I use the term "service" loosely. Visit #1 (1998) Employees playing hide and seek in the hanging floor rugs and completely ignoring me and my mother (this is before I lived here). Visit #2 (2004) Having just moved to Toronto, was treated very rudely by cashier. Visit #3 (2004) Two visits in one year? Clearly I'm a glutton for punishment. Actually, I had just moved into a new and bigger apartment and my mom was visiting and insisted on buying me stuff for my new place. Same rude service and filthy, cluttered aisles. Visit #4 (2007 - last visit) My sister stayed with me after our trip to Paris and had to deal with Wal*Mart's photo lab. This was the last straw: rude customer service who insisted the kiosk was working even though the screen was clearly black, and also told us the photos would be ready in a day, then it was two days, then three and denied telling us otherwise. No place that is associated with that Wal*Mart (yes, that unfortunately means the other stores in the mall) will ever get my money. When at all possible, I like to spit in its general direction from time to time. read more

Affordable pricing. Many stores to choose from. Not too crowded. Food court has a nice size with many types of food.
