Here are the shopping malls in the GTA you need to visit

Square One

With the distinction of being the largest shopping mall in Ontario and the second largest in Canada, Square One houses premiere shops, department stores and services such as the Apple Store, American Eagle and much more. Located in the heart of Mississauga, one might find themselves making a day out of pursuing the massive corridors of the two million square foot shopping centre.  

Sherway Gardens

Nestled within Etobicoke, there is no shortage of shopping options within the one million square foot mall. With a large selection of luxury shops such as Ted Baker London, Lacoste and Nordstrom as well as Saks Fifth Avenue to name a few. Boasting well over 200 stores, Sherway Gardens will surely have what you’re looking for.   

Yorkdale Shopping Centre

Versace, Channel, The Lego Store? Oh, my. Yorkdale’s offerings are plentiful, with well-known retail brands such as All Saints and OVO among the vast selection of stores and services. Located within the North York district, after making a few much needed or frivolous (why not?) purchases, feel free to stop by and grab a bite at the recently renovated food court.

Vaughan Mills

Whether it be brand names such as Nike, Hugo Boss and  Bluenotes, or delicious food vendors like Ela’s Bake Shop, Vaughan Mills is your destination while in the beautiful Vaughan area. Known for its impressive entertainment attractions, don’t forget to bring the kids on over to the Legoland Discovery Centre to put an exclamation point on the day. 

CF Shops At Don Mills

Another North York gem, Don Mills is a perfect one-stop spot for the person looking for a day of entertainment. Catch a movie at the Cineplex, grab a quick caffeine boost at Aroma Espresso Bar, and head on over to L.L. Bean for an accessory or two.  And for the kids, have them hop aboard the miniature train and take a splendid little journey around the mall. 

CF Toronto Eaton Centre

If you’re looking for more out of your shopping experience, then stopping in at the Eaton centre should be your destination. The fibre glass Geese display suspended from the ceiling alone is worth the trip. However, if you’re able to avert your attention from the display, you will be more than satisfied with the selection of shops and stores within your reach. The Bay, Nordstrom, J Crew and much, much more are within the Toronto landmark.
