It’s always insanely crowded, disorienting, and…oh yeah, overrun with highschool kids! It’s the go-to place for a lot of first-time-part-time job hunters in Mississauga (the bus terminal provides easy access for those without their drivers’ licenses), so the service at most stores is less than stellar. One movie theatre (Empire Theatres, formerly Cineplex Odeon) is connected to the mall, and a rather seedy Famous Players is across the street, so you run into a lot of young loiterers. Many of the stores in general feel like all-ages clubs.

However, the mall does have its good points, particularly when it comes to certain stores. The H&M is decent, perfect for those who don’t feel like high-tailing it to the slightly more distant Erin Mills Town Centre, and more distant downtown Toronto to get their cheap on (the nearby Sherway Gardens has no H&M). The dimly lit foodcourt is a nightmare, but located just above is the lovely (and well-lit, thanks to the huge skylights!) Richtree Cafe. I could be wrong, but I believe that this is the only Richtree outside of downtown Toronto (in the area). So again, it’s a pleasant substitute. There are also some nice non-food court restaurants in the mall, such as Moxie’s, Earl’s, and Lemongrass. Just across the street is also a Spring Rolls.

Square One is a bit of a chaotic mess, but it fills a niche, that niche being narcissistic, rude, overly-sexualized Mississauga kids. I’m kidding (kinda). I don’t recommend going on a Friday night, or worse, during holiday season. However, if you go on a quiet Tuesday or Wednesday evening, or know exactly what you’re looking for, then it’s just fine.

Also, Square One is the largest shopping mall in Ontario (it’s generally believed that the Toronto Eaton Centre is). http://shopsquareone.com/04cu_toin.html

Is it just me or is the annoying thing about toronto is there is no mall with everything you want. Every mall has a few unique stores they dont have at other malls but no mall has them all. Abercrombie , Hollister, Bench , Lascoste, Urban Outfiters, Aeropostale, Holts, AX, etc.

U must be very confused to think this is actually a mall its got the worlds most unfriendly chicks do some traveling dude.
