Review from Nicole H.

If you know me, you know that I do NOT like malls. Walking through, let alone shopping at, malls like Square One or Metrotown in BC make me break out into hives. (OK, not really but just about.)
That said, I had to go here because I'd booked an appointment for med-spa that happened to be located inside. (Had I realized that it was located in a mall I would not have even gone.)
So the first time I went I was so stressed to realize I had to actually walk through the mall. I arrived in the parking lot and called to find out where exactly the med-spa was located so that I could find the nearest entrance to park at. Parking was no problem, there were plenty of spaces. I went in and to my surprise, it was easy to navigate through and there were not many customers roaming around. Cool. I had my appointment and left the mall unscathed.
Since then I've been back 5 or 6 times and not only have I gone to the med-spa but I've also done some shopping there. They have a good selection of stores and I have yet to find the place chaotic.
Of all the malls in all the lands, I actually don't mind this one.Listed in: Services.

I always feel so displaced when I walking around in one of the "Town Centre". They all have similar stores, similar merchanises, similar food court offerings...and same depressing people....
I hate when I started going around in circles..and forgot which entrance I came in and where I should exit.... Was it "A" or "3" ? "Lower" or "Upper"? Did I walk pass that stores again? How come I am at a dead end?
I have to give Erin Mills Town Centre some credits! At least even if I got lost and got so tired going around in circles... I can at least lounge out in those comfy cushioned sofas set up like a little tropical oasis...even with palm trees as decoration! BTW, there were even free entertainment as I watching this young couple making out under one of the palm trees.. (no photos were taken, as I respect their "privacy"!)
Erin Mills Town Centre is a good mall to browse around if you are on a budget..because basically you might never see anything you like and ended up you won't buy anything and you have your leisure walk without spending any money!Listed in: Shopping Malls!, A Day in Mississauga!

I used to call this "The Christmas Mall". Not because they had an extra jolly contingent of mall santas during the ho-ho-holidays but because in the final run up to Christ-massacre this was always the least insane mall in the GTA (okay technically it's Cloverdale but Erin Mills is the least insane mall where patrons are largely employed). That might have changed. This was circa 1994 (a time when a young Ellen Cleghorne was teaching America to laugh on SNL and the world united as one in shared sorrow upon learning Kathleen Kinmont was filing for divorce from Lorenzo Lamas) so things might have changed in, oh, the last 14 years. Back then the GTA burbs (which might stlll have used the 416 area code if you can believe there even was such a time) developed in a logical order:
Sewers were dug.
Roads were built.
A huge two story mall anchored by Sears, Eatons, and Simpsons was erected.
And then eventually homes and humans (secure in the knowledge they were only minutes away from an Orange Julius ) would trickle in, usually after developers all agreed on a detached home style that would look even more cookie cutterish than the last place they built plus find a way to hide even more of the actual home behind a two car garage .
So Erin Mills Town Centre for a long while served a small area population and it was darn well worth the short jog off the 403 to visit and find easily available parking. A petite mal mall vs the grande mal mall experience/seizure of Square One.
This mall has your standard compliments of stores and your standard food court. The nice central glass ceiling provides a lot of pleasant natural light. The food court is on the second floor and is located next to a big glass wall that gives you a view of a scenic parking lot (see photo) but you do get a lot of natural light. It's not like Square One's dark, dungeon-y food court. There are lots of plants, places to plant yourself with a coffee and a book/newspaper, and darker wood tones that make you think you're in a Bombay store turned inside out.
It's big enough to have an H&M and Old Navy but small enough you (or I) don't have to invoke the old left-hand maze solving algorithm to make sure you've shopped all the windows and can find the exit you came in from. (Note: if you do attempt this algorithm you will miss a few stores in center court.)
And there is a Manchu Wok here. And a Subway (not sure if this one has the $5 foot longs, which to me is one of the greatest advances in modern society since Ford's application of the production line to auto manufacturing).Listed in: Crawl the Malls: Shopping…

I am not really a fan of Malls to begin with but I agree with the previous review that this is one of the least crazy ones. Although I have to also say that it is one of the ugliest ones too. The only reason we really come to this mall is shopping for the Kids at Old Navy, Kids Gap and the Outdoor Store right beside Old Navy which I forgot the name of right now because it switches so often.
Otherwise parking is never an issue no matter what time of day it is I always seem to find a parking spot right by the entrance. Right now they also have Santa at the Mall and he has a really nice spot situated right in the center below the clock. When I took my daughter this evening to see him the line up consisted of 2 people, us and the people in front of us. -

This review is for the Subway restaurant in the food court.
I went here because I enjoy a sub now and then. I paid around $10 for a steak and cheese sub, and bought a near $2 drink. The drink fountain faces the customers, as many 'serve yourself' places do, so I filled it up and sat down. About 15 minutes later I returned to the fountain, right near the cash register, and proceeded to fill my cup up again. The bitchy lady behind the counter told me that, "drink refills aren't free" and that I would have to pay. I told her that she was being ridiculous and that a fountain facing the customer with no sign ANYWHERE indicating a cost for refills was crazy. I told her I'd never come there again.
