⚠️ Good shopping mall but….⚠️ Double Curbed driving lanes run through the parking lot from the main entrance and they’re not very visible at night.

I visited Sportchek to buy shoes for my grandson. Couldn't find them in Windsor, Detroit or Belle River!. Got them at a great price, the staff was excellent and put them on hold till I got there.

Clean plaza. Lots of parking. Needs a Swiss Chalet or another sitdown AFFORDABLE restaurant in the area though - that isn't TERRIBLE CHUCKS ROADHOUSE. It would complete the day off shopping nicely.
