  • Growing up in the area, I have seen the mall go from from high-end and buzzing mall, down to what could be categorized as a dead mall and then through a major revitalization brining back to a high end mall, quite popular mall. The mall is spread out, with a large centre court that used to have a large operable clock tower(chimed every 15 minutes) and three fountains. Once the mall started to go downhill, the fountains were drained and covered up with plywood. Later the clock tower was removed and the fountains were filled in. This made for a large usable centre court, which is the true hub of the mall. The centre court is almost always packed. With the addition of the Israel cafe chain "Aroma", it makes a very buzzing, bright hangout. The centre court ties into the food court which has a Richtree Market as well as typical food-court restaurants, such as, McDonalds, TIm Hortons, KFC, Subway, etc... The upstairs, outer skirts of the mall are another story. It is always quite dead. Feels like you are in another mall. It seems that you could blame poor planning. As it is out of the way. The Anchor stores are also another big negative of the mall. The Sears is in a poor state. It is time for it to be gone! It is a ghost store that always looks like it is closing. Originally, there was a Eaton's on the north end of the mall, which closed and the upper level was converted into mall space, while the bottom was converted into a Chinese T&T grocery store, that stinks up the north end of the mall. It opened when the mall was at a low. I guess no other tenant wanted to fill up the space at the time. It needs to go. Does not fit in with the malls aura. The Rainbow cinema is a 80's era multiplex that has seen better days. In my opinion, Hudson's Bay should move down from Hillcrest to the Promenade and occupy the Sears location, and a upscale type store should fill the T&T space. Something like Whole Foods. Overall, the mall is bright and airy, has a fair selection of stores and is filled with bubbies having coffee! Positives: Bright and Airy Nice Food options Nicely renovated Aroma Espresso Bar Negatives T&T North end of the mall has a pungent fishy smell Sears Rainbow Cinema Desolate upstairs
