Aside from the parking, lack of good eateries/higher-end stores, I can't really complain about this mall. It provides me with my much needed "Asian Exercise", a.k.a. (window) shopping, during the colder months when I don't want to be outdoors! Parking - You just hafta know where/when are the peak times. I certainly avoid this place like a plague during the weekends! Where? There's a small, underground, "hidden" lot 'round back of the movie theatres. Shh...please don't tell too many people!!! Eating - YES, I certainly feel a bit trapped with the lack of affordable options here. So it's either I load up on a caffeinated drink to tie me over, grab a pastry from Michel's, a $5 sub from Subway (if I'm really desperate!), or head on over to eat at the salad bar from Whole Foods OR across the street, behind the Sussex Centre at Seoul House! Restaurant options IN the mall can certainly be improved. Tip: Due to their tourist designation, this mall also has extended hours, so don't be shy to head there 'til 9pm on Saturday nights or 'til 7pm on Sundays! read more

It has pretty much everything I need! It has most stores, including the new addition which has a selection of higher end stores. I am also an addict to sweet caffeinated drinks and the selection doesn't disappoint. Every time I go (even for just a small errand), I have to get something for my sweet-tooth. The new parking garage connected to Holt Renfrew also has electric car chargers for my car -- I just wish they were free like in most other shopping centers. read more

For once, I decided to walk around Square One instead of just getting my things and then leaving. Their new food court is quite good as it has a lot of the same shops that Yorkdale and Eaton Centre now have (Big Smoke Burger, Amaya Express, Shanghai 360 and Su & Shi). Also, it looks like they are trying to stand out as well as they have put in electronic information directories and their is a concierge next to them so you can also ask them as opposed to finding the information booth and then asking questions. Not sure how long this will last as it is expensive, but if they keep doing it, they will definitely stand out service wise. PS - I still hate this place because it's a mall. I hate all malls. lol. read more

Square One is the exception that proves the rule. For review #100, I thought I'd talk about a place that has a lot of personal significance to me. I've been visiting Square One since I was a child back in the 90's, and I've seen how much it's built itself up as a shopping mecca akin to Yorkdale Mall. After a recent visit, I thought about how far it's come over the years. Square One is absolutely massive now. With a luxury wing that makes you feel equal parts inadequate and impressed (with a car showroom, no less), a revamped food court and a ton of new businesses, this is a much different beast than the mall I remember. I used to come here as a kid with my grandfather and try the carousel that used to be located where the Apple Store is. Now it's shop-until-you-drop with just about every type of store you can think of. This is the type of place where you can hang with your friends getting a drink and lounging on some of the leather chairs they have throughout the mall or drop several thousand on designer clothing. It's a mall that has something for everyone, regardless of their purpose or budget. While there are certain inherent problems with the mall (lack of parking despite the expanded lots, volume), it's not a deal-breaker. Square One is a place I've been visiting for many years, and will continue to visit for many more to come. read more

I ate this ramen in food court of this mall. I remember the store is called I love sushi. The name of this plate is house ramen, u can choose spicy or not. But for japanese food, it never spicy for me. The soup was incredible, very tasty! The pork cooked very well. My cousin ate amai noodle, looks like pad thai and she felt disappointed of it. I also tried sushi, salad here, mango salad here not too sour, seaweed kind of expensive, the snail very great, try it. read more

Square One - Shopping Centers Near Me - Mississauga, Ontario

Wow...talk about confusing. We just roamed around aimlessly and finally realized the mall was one big square (duh! We should have looked at the director/map earlier). I'm used to walking down straight corridors or wings, but the whole idea of quadrants really throws you off. Nonetheless seemed like a rather cool place to do some shopping or hang out. Everyone in the world knows Canadians are friendly, but is it just me or do people here not seem friendly? When say Hi or Thank You to people, they just give you a blank stare like in one case, an angry stare. They must have known I was from out of town or something. ha ha ha. j/k My cousin didn't seem to think this mall was all that, but I thought it was pretty good. read more

This was my first time coming to this mall as I'm not usually in this neck of the woods. This is an impressively big mall and all I can say is: thank god for the app! Regretfully, I didn't even get a quarter of this mall covered before I was accosted by a gentleman offering money for my opinion. "Thirty minutes is all it will take", he promised... thirty minutes my @$$. Trust me, the ten quid I received at the end of it all was not worth the time it took to do this survey!!! I was all up for a chat on a mall bench but when it turned into being led to a back office and placed in front of a computer, I quickly had that sinking feeling of regret. It's completely my fault for agreeing to do the survey in the first place, I know, but please heed my warning - steer clear of these people! Anywho... This mall is clean, bright and well laid out and once I downloaded the app, I was able to easily navigate my way to the stores I wanted to visit. I hope I'm out this way again soon to explore even more of this magnificent mall but next time... I'll remember to keep my opinions to myself! read more

Been coming here ever since I was born, ever since I was born in this beautiful city of Mississauga. I know this mall inside and out, and every year they keep expanding this mall with better stores. They going to open up an Armani Exchange in the fall, last year they brought us Victoria's Secret. Can't wait what will come next year! PLUS Thai express in the food court and a bubble tease! What more can you ask for? read more

This place is a great mall at the heart of Mississauga. It has been recently renovated and the new look is trendy and appealing to many shoppers. The stores in this mall appeals to many, kids, techies, male, female, seniors and the trendies. Most well known is Walmart, Hudson Bay, Apple and Gap stores. Lots of choices to which have their own store sales and great deals. The food court has been upgraded since the older days. It has everything one can wish for, traditional fast food to Chinese to Japanese, American, Mediterranean and Mexican. Lots of choices and seating for everyone. Also, coffee and tea stores are everywhere and no shortage of. All in all, great mall and still in the process of upgrading. Will always be my first choice of mall. Choices and the cleanliness is great. read more

The best mall I ever been too! I work near Dundas and usually I would go to Dixie mall but I always go here for bubble tea and the shopping spree. I love going into a store and choosing everything from clothes to food. I always love their food and hope the keep up the good work read more

I love this mall! Super awkward way to describe it, but it's designed like a farm land where it's almost cut into sections and has multiple routes to enter at any intersection. Square One is easy to spot on the highway because of the iconic spinning towers at the back of the mall. Coming out of the highway, make sure you keep right to enter the mall. There's an ample amount of parking spaces, unless you hit a big shopping day like Black Friday or something. The parking tower is where I commonly go to get spots, and there's multiple levels to try to ensure that you get at least a spot, even if it is a little further away. The stores in Square One are popular and fun to shop in. They're not super old stores, well maybe except the design in Walmart, but it's definitely practical. I wouldn't say Square One is one of the newly renovated malls anymore, it sure had a time where it was. read more

Nice clean mall. Most of the employees at the stores here are friendly. I just wish there weren't as many criss-crossing of walkways of shops. It's like 'have we been here before?'. Sometimes it's almost like you've gone in circles. read more

Square One - HARRY ROSEN and HOLT RENFREW court #Prisma - Shopping Centers Near Me - Mississauga, Ontario

I can honestly say this is my favorite mall in Ontario, maybe even, anywhere, this mall is a bit confusing for someone who has just visited it for the first time, but this mall is just amazing. Wal-Mart, the food court, HMV, this mall truly has everything. there is something always going on here on both the inside and the outside. very clean on the inside, and literally has something for everyone. a true "ton" of parking both level ground and multi leveled(south end). this mall also has a transit hub for Brampton transit, "miway" and go transit. its absolutely worth coming to the largest mall in Ontario read more

LOCATION : Heart of downtown Mississauga. Beside Celebration Square, City Hall and the public library. PARKING : ample parking in open space and indoor building. AMBIANCE : Good, clean CROWD : Working families, students FOOD COURT : Huge selection of fast food. It's crowded and always full at meal times STORES : Some closed and the theatre closed too but more stores are opening. New wing opening soon! read more

Square One has seen both large-scale upgrades and a new direction within the past couple of years. For a number of reasons, these transformations occur behind safety enclosures, protective barriers, etc., however. If you'd like a more in-depth look into this process, our latest blog post provides an insider's view of newest developments occurring within this 2,200,000 sq. ft. retail utopia. @mgicorp read more

Wow they sure have improved this mall ...they put some badass stores in here .pretty impressed to be honest .and I'm a huge fan of collecting shoes and they put a house of hoops in here beside footlocker .omg.....I pretty much jazzed in my pants . I don't have to go to the states anymore just to find the stuff I like .. Also a Steve Madden store and coach for the ladies way to go there goes my wallet . read more

I only discovered after my visit that Square One is the second largest shopping center in Canada.I am completely unsurprised at this, because this place is really easy to get lost in! I was in town for the holidays, and that one day where I had some time to myself, it of course had to be -25 in the daytime. Outdoor entertainments were out of the question for me, so I decided to wander around here for most of the day. There's a lot of parking, in large lots as well as a nice parking structure that has some bridges over to the center, which is nice for a day like I had. I wish I'd known about the coat check earlier, that's a very nice touch to keep you from getting too hot. There's also a package concierge if you are buying a LOT of stuff and don't want to wander around with a giant pile of bags. So there's basically every shop you could think of, and plenty you haven't. There are stores and brands from the US, plenty from Canada, and several I've never seen before. It's a lot of fun to wander around, and a good place to spend the day, particularly when it's freezing outside. read more

This place has pretty much everything you want . From Whole foods , walmart, Dollarama to so many many clothing stores, cosmetic , jewelry, cafes and so much more. The food court - has so much variety of options.Must admit sometime I come here only to grab food. Ample parking space. GO station right here. Surrounding this as well so many options. Once here you can barely go back disappointed. read more

I rarely make it out to Square One - but when I do I make sure that I make it an all day event! I don't find it the most easy mall to navigate, but maybe I just need to visit more often and get the lay of the land (small town girl here). But really - this mall is MASSIVE! I get more steps than ever before in spending the day here. I have always been able to find a parking spot when I visit - maybe I am the only one? :) I really enjoy a large group of stores here - I like that high end is mixed with some regular style stores. I also LOVE that they have a Simons! My favourite store. I like how it's not all little expensive boutique style stores - because I sure can't afford to always shop there! The food court is also quite robust here - basically something for everyone. I always suggest taking a day trip out to Square One, there are so many options for spending the day shopping around. There is really a store for everyone! read more

Nice Mall in Heart of Downtown Mississauga !! It's a Pricier Mall so not much of Sale Prices. Brands wise, it holds a lot of Brands, the regular as well the luxury ones. Recently opened up Simons as well. One good thing about it is the presence of Walmart. So it makes the trip to the Mall worth it as well. Appearance wise the Mall is great, it oversees a big area, and a lot to cover, hence you can have a good stroll (that's what we actually go for!) Food Court- there could've been more options and varieties, the ones here are limited, seating space is good enough. Parking - Ample parking available, however you may have to walk a little depending on Entrance as well. Shopping Wise it's just ok, nothing much great about it !! read more

If you were to take all the malls in Toronto or the "GTA" as we Torontonians call it, and make one big mall. This would be it! My jaw dropped when I realized how insanely large this mall was and it's under renovation for more expansion! :0 Simon's, urban outfitters, Saje and Lush! Like could this get any better?!.. yes it did!! This is the place to go for holiday shopping and to get your daily exercise in. I was blown away! From luxury high end boutiques to the low end bargain shoppers! This malls got it all! Even an enormous food court! read more

Go-to mall for me. I'm here all the time.. now they're opening UNIQLO soon and the Rec Room which is even better. Simon's is probably the best store to open their and the luxury expansion is nice and all, but not really affordable for most shoppers (even during sales). Miniso recently opened as well, however it is way too small and crowded. I go to this mall a lot and I never get bored. read more

Lots of selections on brands......connected with the Bay, Holt Renfrew, Walmart, Simons, Whole Foods. Convenient public transportation terminal nearby. Basically this area has choices from $ to $$$$, and lesser people than downtown Toronto. read more

Square One - Entrance 8 close to Simons and Walmart - Shopping Centers Near Me - Mississauga, Ontario

The best mall in the GTA in my opinion. Yes, I put it above Yorkdale and Eaton Centre. The interior is really nice, clean and modern and there is a wide variety of stores to choose from, from your typical to casual to high-end. It's almost as if you're at the Mall of America (but not quite, since there's no amusement park here). Selection is plenty. You can also find a lot of stores here that you won't be able to find at other malls in the area. It's also centrally located, there's even a Whole Foods Market across from the mall (but not attached). Lots of great food options as well, from what you'd typically see in a food court to high end restaurants. Look for the food district, that is NOT to be missed. There's a place there called Kibo Sushi and it's some of the best sushi I have ever had. Who would have thought it could be found in a mall! It does get pretty busy here but that is to be expected, it is Mississauga after all! read more

I rarely go to Square one because one, it's far af for me to drive because I live on the other side of the GTA, but when I do go, it's always worth the trip because they have a lot of unique stores that I don't get at CF eaton's fairview etc. Their food court also has a variety of unique foods that you can't get at other malls. read more

It is hard to rate Shopping malls but in my world it gets a 5 and this is why. -It actually has a Buffalo David Bitton store (one of the few left) -The Bay has top quality Buffalo and all other brands -It has a Guess and an Express -It seems to have all major stores -It is close to Port Credit and the Ruth Chris Steakhouse read more

Square One - Shopping Centers Near Me - Mississauga, Ontario

From my first visit when this mall was a total disaster to my numerous visits over the holidays season Square One is, in my opinion, the energizer bunny of shopping malls... it keeps growing and growing and growing...... GET IT? If not, well lemme break it down for ya homeslice. SQ1 was considered the largest mall in Canada when it was first built in 1973, and it held that honour until those people out west erected that theme-park-mall hybrid known as West Edmonton in 1981 (who needs a roller coaster and a submarine and a pirate ship in a mall anyway..... ok those all sound pretty sweet). That said, it still remains the largest Mall in Ontario sitting at a whopping 1,621,000 sq ft, this makes it the third largest in all of Canada! Thank goodness for it's size because Mississauga needed this mall, this place is BZ. The ironic thing is that parking somehow is still possible despite the crowds the fill this place to the brim each weekend and during holidays. This mall has been rapidly expanding regularly, adding more and more stores and attracting bigger and swankier anchors and name brands. It definitely isn't a boutique style mall like that of Yorkdale, but who needs $2000 Louis Vutton/Prada anything.... (ok well that might be coming). Which leads me to my next point, the newest expansion, which can be seen from the highway is even larger. The North side expansion just opened in December before the holidays and THAT'S NOT ALL The South side expansion is planning to open in the Spring of 2016 (just over a year from now). Square One is definitely reclaiming it's spot as a top mall in the country, if you haven't been yet, I'd highly recommend you check it out! read more

I think this place takes the cake for the best mall in the GTA. Who would've thought? I was skeptical about this place because I heard it used to be ratchet back in the day, but it's really stepped up it's game! Who needs to go downtown when you have most of the stores in one mall? I can definitely see the parking being hell on earth during holidays though. Why I was blown away by this mall: 1. Food central is HUGE. It's a larger version of yorkdale, with all the pretty seats and black/white themes. It has chipotle (always a plus), basil box (blesssss), a philly steak place and lots of choices and cuisines to choose from. For once it's not all just unhealthy fast food. 2. MUJI.. in a mall? No way! I'm obsessed with the low cost of muji for minimalist home, body and stationary stuffs. To find it in a mall.. well, I was just speechless. 3. NYX Cosmetics Store!!!! One of the best and affordable makeup brands ever! I thought the only NYX store was in Toronto (nyx in the 6ix). I can spend all DAY in here oh my goooodnesssssss. 4. Urban Outfitters! YASSSS GIRL! Again, one of the reasons why I head DT so often- for UO. This UO is often empty and has most of the stuff I see in Toronto stores. 5. Biggest urban planet ever, wtf. & For once, I was greeted by employees in this store, which has never happened at other UP stores. (I've always made the joke "I wish I worked at Urban Planet so I can be paid to look mad at the world") 6. This Sport Chek is on another level. They have so much stock of every single brand and amazing deals as well. The aesthetic of it all is also very appealing. 7. All employees that work at this mall are SOOOO nice. I've never been in so many stores where everyone was so smiley and willing to help out. In fairview, yorkdale, etc.. all the employees barely mutter a single 'hi' and it makes retail work seem like an absolute draaaag. Mississauga must have a higher happiness level and better standard of living, because the staff make shopping so much better. 8. This sephora is larger than life. With an actual beauty bar that resembles a Hollywood movie's backstage.. damn!! SO large and clean. I love it. I love square one. It's just so much walking though, because the mall is huge. read more

Can someone explain how I ended up in Mississauga? For personal reasons, I should rate this mall a 2 For terms of stores n stuff, I should rate this mall a 4 So let's compromise, and call it a 3? Here's the pro's about Square 1: 1. Great location, right off the highway. 2. Super convenient bus terminals (yea, 2 terminals, one for Mississauga Transit and one for the Go!) 3. Great stores, you have all your staples + a few specialty stores 4. TARGET! Here's the con's: 1. Waayyyyyyyyyyyyy too many high school kids. Even more than any in a mall in Toronto. Just sitting around and being obnoxious. Not that I hate kids, I just hate missisauga kids for some reason. Maybe I'm missisauga-ist. 2. There's a lot of older people who kinda just lounge around the mall...and stare you down. Super creepy. Momma ain't in to dat yo. 3. The food court is really meh. That's it really. Best mall in 'sauga, but malls are kinda eww. read more

In my previous life of coordinating medium-sized construction projects (it wasn't always Yelpsticks and FUCing for this guy), I got to know Square One intimately. I would visit the mall often and got to access its strange nooks and crannies, hidden hallways, shipping bays, storage bins full of lost 'tweens, the foodcourt, etc., on a regular basis. What I learned is that Square One is a huge freaking place. It's almost planetary in its scope, and the thought of crossing from one end to another was sigh-inducing: like you are about to set of on a family road-trip, and you're not driving, and you're 17 years old, and you have no control over the radio. So it's big. Here's really what you need to know about Square One: - It's got a Walmart, Sears, The Bay and Zellers - You can rent strollers or borrow a wheelchair for the day - This mall is owned by Oxford, not Cadillac Fairview; your Eaton Centre gift card won't work here - There is a movie theatre here with 10 screens - There is NOWHERE worth eating on the mall premises (and that includes Arby's) - A GO bus to the mall takes about 30 minutes from downtown Toronto - There is a bulk barn here and that is a plus - There is a lot of parking but you might have to circle a bit to find a spot - The Playdium arcade is very close by as well as the Colosseum movie theatre Nestled in a part of Mississauga that is the most pedestrian unfriendly spot in Ontario (except maybe the centre of lake Scugog), I try to avoid this mall whenever possible. If you have a car however, or are looking for a shopping diversion for your out-of-town friends, you could do worse. Obligatory Title Pun: May I never go back to SQUARE ONE. Menu Readability: Bah! Need to mention: Probably the most VARIETY of retail store types in a single shopping complex. You can get a piano, stamps, tuxedos, a porcelain bust, almost anything. It goes on and on. What this place teaches me about myself: $5 beef and cheddars? I'm over it. Also, I still have no clue where the washrooms are. read more

It's like people in Mississauga really don't have much to do. Go on a weekend and you'll feel like you're trying to find parking for a Justin Bieber concert! Anyway, what's really cool about this mall is, even though it lacks a forever 21, it's attracted some really good stores over the past few years - Coach, Michael Kors, Lacoste, Zara, Express, Hot Topic and a well-needed H&M. You'll never find good sale prices at any of these stores though as their businesses are obviously thriving in Mississauga. Zara Man doesn't even have a discount section. I find that stores at malls like Eaton Centre and Yorkdale have better sale prices. Disappointments: The new Target is not all that it is made out to be, the pet store lost the dogs and cats, and Club Monaco closed down. Excitements: The food court is being renovated, The Walmart (lol) and the Bulkbarn, whoop dee doo! read more

I have been living in Mississauga over 20+ years and I have seen Square One evolved from being an ok mall to the chic urban suburb mall it is now. It is almost like seeing a whee little caterpillar blossom into a beautiful butterfly. The past few years there has been a big push for better brands in the mall. Opening soon is Zara, they got Sephora a few years back and there is a Lululemon. Toe-to-toe, Square One is becoming to be at the same level as Eaton Centre and Yorkdale for the suburbs. Food wise you can get the standard food court fare. There are quite a few restaurants such as Earls and Moxies in the located in the mall. The parking lot is massive, still hard to find a close parking spot on weekends. Make Square One you pit stop for your shopping needs if you are ever in Mississauga. read more

Square one is absolutely massive now. I can't remember it back when it was actually a square, but I can certainly remember it before it expanded into this massive mall! It is working hard to compete with Yorkdale as we see more and more speciality and high end stores. We have Louis Vuitton now and will be getting a Holts soon. I think that people might just stop trekking all the way to Yorkdale, but who knows. The mall itself is under construction right now so it's a bit of a mess in places, but is still clean and safe. The bathrooms there are amazing - weird side note, but true. There are couches to wait for people! The food court doesn't have many options in my opinion. They could really do better than the standard asian fare with a new york fries thrown in for good measure. Great stores in terms of variety and conveniently has a good life gym inside as well that is very large (2 floors). The parking however, is a bloody nightmare (as it is at ALL malls) but omgosh. People are crazy. I'd advise parking a short distance away and making the walk because honestly, people will stalk the aisles and all pounce on a spot at the same time. Overall I'm pretty satisfied with what Square one offers, and despite the amount of people inside of it, it's big enough that you never really feel like there are quite so many people. Smart tip? Get a target red card and you can use it at the starbucks inside of target and save 5% on your drink. If you're like me, it adds up quick! read more

My FAVOURITE mall in Ontario. It really has everything including Deciem! I'm not sure if other malls have Deciem, but I was beyond stoked to find out Square One does. The mall is pretty darn huge, but it's quite easy to find your way around (information desks and maps are conveniently located). Like any mall it does get busy during the weekends, but it doesn't feel stuffy because the mall is so big. Parking is relatively easy to find, whether you're shopping at the mall or heading to Wal-Mart to grab something. There's also a Whole Foods in the next plaza, which I absolutely love! Another plus with Square One is that they are right next to Playdium as well. Their food court has a great selection that includes Basil Box, another of my favourites. Even though Square One is quite the drive away from me, I really love it too much to mind. read more

I hate this mall. So many stores, and yet nothing to buy! The only good thing about it is the Cinabon! It's such a nightmare to find parking, except for the spots that are a few miles away! Avoid! There are much better malls in Mississauga and Oakville! read more
