World Shops — Local services in Markham

It’s a clean mall, but there isn’t much to do here other than groceries and food court (which is pretty good with a decent selection as long as you like Korean food). They have some travel agencies, jewelery, and cosmetics shops (but you won’t find anything “fun” here)

Surface parking is available for short term. Overall a decent trip if you haven't...

It's yet another "failed" mall from a customer's point of view unless you count that a mall full of random lawyer's offices, wholesale stores, realtor offices, and the occasional beauty salon to be something you really love.

It's a mall with no sense of purpose or direction, but I do love how spacious the main atrium is, the semi-decent food court, and the fact that yes, that supermarket (Seasons) is one of the best Asian supermarkets around. Parking is usually not a...
