Have I really not reviewed Pac Mall? Geez. Pac Mall really busted the notion you can't have a mall without one or two anchor stores. I've seen Pac Mall also go through a number of transitions over the decades. From a place to get exotic spices to knock off products and stickers of weirdly squished pandas to CD/DVDs to a place where you can get all manner of bangle, lerkim, and diffendoofer for your cell phone. As always, you can find shops offering innovative ways to fuck up your $30,000 car with $200 of cheap shit for the hood and steering wheel.
Parking is a nightmare. Pro tip: park across Steeles in the largely dead Splendid China Mall. Then walk across Steeles. My theory is if some crazed driver bashes into my car in the Pac Mall lot, it's on my dime. If some crazed driver bashes into me, OHIP will pay to repair me. And I get a few days off of work. It's about the win-win.
I suspect prices here for many things are based on a pay-what-you-can, where pay-what-you-can is estimated by the sales person.
