Great mall, with so many stores to drop some $$$, lots of parking, but it did get very busy after 5pm on a Friday.

I was quite surprised how bright and spacious this plaza is. I stopped by about ten years ago, and…read moreit wasn't anything to write home about! I wanted to see if the "Structube" at this location had better inventory, and shop at Dollarama, Canadian Tire, and HomeSense. The aisles are very wide, so plenty of room for social distancing! There is also a food court, but we arrived early, and it wasn't open. Each time I drove by, the parking lot looked like a zoo, but since we arrived right at 10 am, there were plenty of parking spots! There is also a Tim Horton's and Service Canada. Cute little plaza if you're in the area.

There's a large fortinos with a very tasty looking bakery, a small food court and a good range of your general and some eclectic looking shops to check out. Whilst it's small, there's a few shops to check out that'll serve everyone's interests. There's also a huge petsmart for all the needs of your furry friends as well!

This tired, old mall was never more than a barely adequate one. I'm sorry to see that in spite of a…read morefew cosmetic attempts to upgrade some store exteriors, it's really going to crap. You have a precious few necessities like the Bank of Montreal and .. I wouldn't necessarily call the Tim Hortons or any of the other retailers, necessities. You have an LCBO, a Winners, a Dollarama. So many tiny little other enclosed booths inside that are hardly worthy of being called stores. It was like looking at a strangely ruined version of a cross between a Pacific Mall kind of setup and an abandoned shell of a mall in Buffalo, but with few patrons. Not at all bustling, practically depressing. The whole interior is badly deteriorating. The floors are faded and worn, the glass windows are cluttered and dingy. We went into the Ardene for a gift shopping run and it's pretty much the highlight of this mall. Would not bother coming back if I can avoid it.

This mall is the epitome of the Ghetto Mall. It is very run down with many storefronts empty. Many…read moreno name stores with poor quality merchandise. Lots of animal print clothing in synthetic fabrics. Why do I go here, you may ask? Well, it's across the street from my dentist, who is the best dentist ever, and I have followed him all across town from since the time when he was at Bathurst and Bloor almost 2 decades ago. And even now that I live in Ottawa, I still see my dentist in Toronto and make a whole road trip out of it, but I digress. I never know what traffic is like in Toronto so sometimes I arrive for my appointment way too early and so I head across the street to the mall. Every time I'm there, I ask myself what am I doing here? This is not a shopping destination. I have never purchased anything there. If you live in the area I'm sure it's functional enough - there is a Walmart there, but I would never make a special trip just to go there. Even the Winners, which is one of my favourite stores, is not that good there. The food court has independent stores as opposed to chains although they have chains too. And the layout is interesting, the food court stalls are in a cluster at the centre and the seats are all around the perimeter. This Mall is in serious need of revitalization in my opinion.

I recall this smallish mall from way back when they were called Hazelton Lanes. They used to have…read moreat that time the only location for the beloved (or hated) Whole Foods in Canada. Throw in a mix bag of designer stores for clothing, furniture etc. and you got yourself a place that was visited by the moi once in a while. Fast forward a few years the name has changed and now you have what I think a much brighter space, a decent food hall, a high end gym and an event and pop up space. Living in this area I enjoy my visits here to get last min stuff and now a post office in the Rexall. The designer stores are more of the same IMO (I think there are mostly owned by the same company) as alas the Jacadi location has closed. I luv the pop up spots (laduree' at the time of this review) and the event space up front complete with Jacked up coffee van. The Whole Foods is still here and now I feel somewhat more reasonable what they sell. I think this is decent spots to visit to run your errands or stores that are found here.
