This Mall is a landmark on its own for me, ive been through it since i moved into North York in 1995. With that said, ive seen numerous changes, and the store selection is definitely terrible, but every knows the best part of this mall is the theater and the Keg.
had many memories of wandering in this mall to kill time before my movie starts because its cool to see what stores kind of randomly pop up once in a while. The Food Court is small but definitely offers a sufficient variety for what space that they have for a food court. Its also accessible to the subway if you want to avoid the cold and go see a movie.
Definitely dont take Sheppard Centre for face value, its not meant to be a Yorkdale, Eaton Centre or Square one. It is what it is and its definitely Convenient for what it is. -

Awww why does everyone have to hate on the poor Sheppard Centre? Sure, this place is hardly a "mall" along the same lines as Yorkdale or the Eaton Centre, but I have a soft spot for this middle-of-the-road pitstop...have you seen the new Dollarama on the upper level?!
The Winners here is nothing really special, but it has its moments. Secretly I'm grateful that most of the clothing stores suck here. Why? I'm rarely tempted to spend money on clothes I don't need. Another benefit - the crowds here tend to congregate at the restaurants, which means fewer random strollers and agonizingly slow walkers throughout the mall. Hurray for getting to where you're going! I realize that's not really how most people operate but I might as well admit it.
Along those same lines I have to admit the Sheppard Grande movie theater is a big draw for me because it's NEVER as crowded as the cinemas at Empress Walk (up the street) or Fairview Mall. The seats might be old, but I find them more comfortable than the newer ones at Fairview. This also means I can put my bags and coat on the seat beside me and I nearly always get the row to myself...yes, that is a benefit worth coming back for, believe it or not.
I love the Shoppers Drug Mart here. I really do. They are open 'till midnight and have a decent selection of food, so you can pick things up on the go. I'd rather go out of my way to shop at this location because I can pick up food and other items I'd normally buy at a Shoppers.
The prestigious Toronto Semi Sports Clinic is also connected to/located in this building, as is a reliable number of other services I use: post office, subway, dollar store, movie theater (which I already mentioned), and an enclosed tunnel to Extreme Fitness in the Madison Centre, which is very handy in the rain or winter weather. -

I don't think this sorry excuse for a mall should be even considered a mall.. This poor mall has so much potential, but just doesn't seem to deliver. Located as a hub for both the Sheppard subway line and the Yonge line, one would think mall management would take advantage of this prime location.
First of all, the stores suck! They don't have one good clothing store, unless you count Winners, which seems to sadly be the most popular store in the plaza. Secondly, the food court is lame! With so many good options out there, they have resorted to Druxy's, Mr. Sub, Pita Pit, and Burger King.
The mall has a lot of potential, but the store selections just suck. Recently they opened a Boston Pizza and Spring Rolls, both poor food choices if you ask me. The only benefit to the plaza is probably the Shoppers, you can never have too many Shoppers!
if you're in the area, skip this mall, it's not worth a second breath. -

I've been around this area many times in my life, for errands, courses, anything. It was a high school hangout and I'd like to think that made me very familiar with it. YET, every time I enter the Sheppard Centre, I get lost. EVERY TIME. I know I have a pretty bad sense of direction but I swear this place is a goddamn labyrinth.
And I'm going to have to agree with Lynda that the stores are brutal. Everything is either a cheap luggage store or an out-of-date pharmacy, and the food options are just abysmal. The only things keeping them in business must be the Winners and the fact that there are a lot of office buildings close by, not to mention high schools.
If you're hungry, there are better choices at street level, or take advantage of the subway line and head up to Finch for some great sushi places. -
Review from Jim G.
This mall is quite hideous from the outside. It was built at a time when it seemed like a good idea to make patrons either go up a set of stairs or down a set of stairs to get to a business, so there's virtually no sidewalk-level storefront here, which is a shame as it makes the building seem hulking and inaccessible. There are some good stores in here--Coles, Sunrise--but no anchor store, unless you consider Winners to be a quality place. The food court has mainly non name-brand restaurants, and I mainly go to Burger King or Caribbean Queen. I haven't had a good sub at the Mr. Sub (the bread always seems to be stale). The theatres are good and some of the other spots in here are okay. The Keg used to be here--my main reason for going--and it was a sad, sad day when they closed it, as I loved the bar there. Overall, very average, and someday this building wll be torn down and a tower will be erected in its place.
