Customer Reviews
Debbie
Nice mall but the Walmart cart didn't even make it to the parking lot before the wheels locked up. Not good we had just spent over $300 so it was a pain. Our cart was full and heavy. Not sure if I would bother with their carts again. The food court has lots of opinions.

Centrally located in Victoria, this is a fairly large mall with many different types of stores and services. It also has a large food court with a lot of variety. This is a fairly big mall and definitely has something for everyone. There are many different clothing stores, large big box stores, grocery stores. There is also a large service area surrounding the mall. The mall is kept clean and tidy. It has an open feeling and is bright and welcoming.

It has almost all the stores you need. Plus a pretty good food court. I usually go there to get my hair cut at Tommy Guns.

I’ve been patronizing this mall since the late 1970s and it has really changed (for the better) over the decades. I really dislike the Uptown Mall, much preferring both Hillside and Mayfair. Hillside has always had good parking and I’ve never run into any issues trying to find a spot at this mall. Inside, it is bright, airy, modern, with plenty of good shops and a food court. Bolen’s Books is located here, clothing shops, Canadian Tire, Thrifty’s Foods, Walmart, Murchies, etc., so you’ll have a wide variety to enjoy.
