Dufferin Mall ticks a lot of useful boxes:
- Easy to get to using transit (bus/subway)
- A nice end-to-end one level sprawl means no real getting lost trying to find the store you're after
- It's got a good mix of stores so you can get a lot done while you're there.
The combo of Wal-Mart and No Frills, with the bonus Dollarama, usually does it for me. I'll occasionally pop into H&M or Reitmans/Suzy Shier, depending on my mall madness levels. Facilities are good, the mall's usually pretty clean, and even the food court isn't too hideous.
I still can't bring myself to give a mall more than 3 stars, but Dufferin Mall gets it easily. After all, i'm usually in and out of there before the urge to kill rises..
