Gerrard Square

I know, I know. Right now you're probably laughing or cringing but that just means you haven't visited Gerrard Square in quite a while. It's come a long way since my first visit there to check out the Sear's outlet store (long gone). You would barely recognize it now. The first change you'll notice is the McDonald's is gone. Well, not gone, just moved to a different area of the parking lot and a lot more accessible. You no longer will have to climb a large set of slippery stairs to get your burger fix.
They have recently renovated the front entrance of the mall, making it look more welcoming as well as wheelchair accessible and the renovations to the interior have made it brighter and cleaner. The Zellers is still a big disappointment - small, crowded, messy - but the other stores are sure to delight.
Some of the stores to check out: Payless, Footlocker, Staples, Home Depot, Ardene, Siblings, Hallmark, Smart Set (up to 80% off winter merchandise), Fairweather (up to 80% off outerwear), International Clothier, Winners (additional mark downs on already reduced items), La Senza (selected bras on sale for $8.50), Urban Planet, Jumbo Video and coming soon Benix.
