| - Scarborough Town Centre is centrally located near the BUSY highway 401, in-between Brimley road and McCowan road. It has an Upper Bowl and a Lower Bowl where majority of the Food Court is on top, just follow your nose to the delicious Curry smell from Tandori(Fast Food). By no surprise, there is Toronto Police Services along side the Security Office. It also has the convenience of a Wal-Mart and a nearby Real Canadian Superstore for your grocery shopping needs.
I like Scarborough Town Centre, it's a nice big mall with lots of different stores.
If you live in Scarborough, this is your mall. Chances are you come here a lot already. If you're not a Scarberian, though, there's really no sense in going out of your way to come here.
Layer on it's massive size, two floors of retail, huge foodcourt and movie theatre and you've got an above average shopping experience.
STC is accessible by car, TTC and GO bus, the terminal is a main stop for transferring between services.
A lot of renovations have been done to the Mall over the years. With that a lot of better shops too moved in: Lululemon, H & M, Victoria Secrets, DavidsTea, Indigo just to name a few.
Not only that, STC has recently gotten a ton of restaurants in the area -- Boston Pizza, Canyon Creek Chophouse, Moxie's, Jack's Astor's, Milestone's, and the Canadian class, Swiss Chalet. And the theatre usually has a decent selection of movies -- not to mention that on Tuesdays, movies are only $4.99!
Scarborough Town LTR stop, Close to Scarborough's Government Offices, right by McCowan/Brimely 401 exit/
FREE WIFI - as of August 2014 abt. This mall has tried to make Free WIFI available. Testing have found the WIFI to be unstable !!! Every other day the WIFI seems to be unavailable ... No WIFI ACCESS. TEST the wifi for security show many "black holes" for users on this LAN network. LAN scan shows over a month testing volumes of users average abt 200 user peak on the LAN with Router admin IP. 192.168.101.1 ... Port scan and user. Speed::: Down 85.5 KB/s. Up:: 53.7 KB/s. extremely or distressingly bad or serious. TERRIBLE Mall WIFI almost useless !!!!!! ... Use one of the two coffee shop WIFI
It does get overcrowded during peak times, and at these times I try to avoid STC as well. But during the weekday before 3pm it's quieter and less crowded with mall rats coming from school and blocking the escalators. The workers at the stores are generally nice and helpful.
The upper level floor plan is like a figure 8 with some off shoots and the lower level is a circle with some off shoots. The anchor stores are The Bay, Sears, and Walmart. They have the usual stores like Laura, Melanie Lyne, Reitmans, Soft Moc, etc. But they also have some less usual stores like a P.J's Pet Centre and a place called Sweet Tooth Emporium (which is like Sugar Mountain except better, since they sell candies and chocolates from lots of different countries, not just the UK). They also have a Bulk Barn and a Dollarama.
