Eastgate Square

Year after year, the real Santa with the best photo packages in the Hamilton and Burlington area. ***HOWEVER… all of the family washrooms and change rooms for those with young kids are locked with nobody around to open them for you. Also, no signs or directions on who can open them. We could not find any custodians in the food court, and they were not in their custodian rooms. With the mall being overwhelmed with shoppers with kids, and Santa photos for a month straight, you would think they would have those open. I’m told that they are not open during the holiday season because homeless people sleep in there. However, I don’t think the answer is to have them all locked while the mall is overwhelmed with children and parents. Maybe ask security to check on their rounds as they can be seen all over socializing. Very disappointed.

Although most stores did not stick out too much, the one that stuck with me was Afro Chic! It's a new store that just opened recently, with very vibrant clothing and a wide variety of women's African wear. Ranging from Central Africa, and I think a bit of West Africa (?). Nonetheless, if you want to see something fresh and new I would def suggest you go there!

East Gate Square provides a pleasant shopping experience with a diverse range of stores, easy navigation, and a welcoming atmosphere. Whether you're into fashion, electronics, or specialty items, the well-designed layout and vibrant ambiance make it a satisfying destination for a enjoyable shopping outing…. It has beauty salon for ladies as well. Fortinos, sports check, winners , dollarama , and many other stores as well. And also a good food court 👌🏻👍🏻

My review of Eastgate square is based on its evolution of close to 50 years. I have watched it change many times and it has always been on a downward spiral. Eastgate was the place to go in the 70 s and 80 s and was a major shopping center with everything doing great business from Eaton's northward to Robinsons southward , Steak and burger to Loblaws which became Fortinos. With fountains and places to sit as you walk on the light brownish brick floor and even a Sunday flea market .Eastgate has devolved into a lifeless hull of fading stores and customers and will surely fade into a fleeting memory in the near future 😢 In closing, this review represents what Eastgate has become. Farewell

It's really good mall, not that big, not that small. You can find here almost anything you want. I like some gaming stores with geek's stuff. There's also some fast food markets. Tim Hortons including. It's fine
