Got a shopping list that's as long as your arm with items on it ranging from bedding to CDs of Celtic music and not a lot of time to get it all bought? You're going to need a one stop shopping center with a lot of choice. If you live in or near Mississauga or even if you're just visiting, the Square One Shopping Mall should be your destination. With more than 1.6 million square feet of retail space, Square One is one of the biggest malls in Canada and an attraction that should not be missed. So if you like shopping, come and see what Square One has to offer.

Retail

There are over 360 stores in Square One, so whether you need a global SIM card for your cell phone or a pair of pink baby booties for your little one, you can find it here. Anchor stores include retail giants like Wal-Mart, Old Navy, and Home Outfitters, while inside you can find small franchise stores and independent shops like Gymboree, Sephora, the Apple Store, Kernels, Hugo Boss, Garage, Zero Edge, and the Gap. There are dollar stores, clothiers, electronics boutiques, book stores, bath and body product retailers, and stores for shoes, toys, pets, jewelry and sporting goods outlets.

Restaurants and Services

Great malls have more than just shops, and Square One must be the Queen of malls, because it has everything. You can have your downtown Toronto condominium decorated, do your banking, get your shoes repaired, book a trip, set up a telephone account, have your nails done, get a hair cut, or see a movie. There are also spas, restaurants, cafes, tailors, watch repair shops, portrait studios, a car wash, a post office, a dentist, a gym, lawyers, the motor vehicle registry, a church, and a police station.

Special Events

Return to Square One often because you'll never know what sort of displays they'll have in the foyers. One week they'll be offering free glycolic peels at the Health and Wellness Fair the next auctioning off a line of new Kia cars to benefit charities. There's also a farmer's market in the parking lot every Friday and Sunday from June to October where local producers sell their wares.

Getting There

Square One is open every day of the week. Getting there by car takes one hour from Hamilton, Buffalo NY, and Niagara Falls, twenty minutes from Pearson Airport or Downtown Toronto, and about thirty minutes by Etobicoke taxi. Nearly all Mississauga Transit buses make a stop at the transit terminal located at Square One, and GO Transit has a special express directly from Pearson Airport. Square One's address is 100 City Center Drive, Mississauga, Ontario.
