Reviews of Market Square Shopping Centre (Mall)

Stacey T

Expensive parking if you can find a spot...not cool when you have to attend a government office, security guards were patient and kind.

CAB LIFE

(Translated) I can highlight the work of the guard who helped guide me even though I don't know any English, he was able to make me understand (Original) Puedo destacar la labor del guardia quien me ayudó orientandome a pesar que yo no sé nada de inglés el fue capas de hacerme entender

Beautiful building, well located in downtown, but there, most of businesses keep going down the hill. Food court sucks. Down to 2 restaurants. McDonald's closed, Subway closed, main floor has all small business dying. Very sad. Will Goodlife stay there after the lease? I have the feeling that the answer is no.

Food court is almost empty

Farshid Sadatsharifi

Very good and accessible

Joanne Hey

Surrounded by shops excellent place to be

Jesse Shoults-Roy

Very little to offer here. It has so much potential. Someone just needs to breathe some life into it. The little coffee shop there is quite nice. To the owners of the building, show it some love, the ion is right there, you have a lot of potential on your hands here.

Edward Tang

Lonely feeling

Miroslav Elias

Dismal

It's dead now.

Sad to see this place dying, almost no places worth visiting here, the subway has closed as has McDonald's,always empty and closed really early . If you can get in there is nothing to do and the building is just depressing, mostly in disrepair and just spooky if you go to some places in here

Jason Machado

Not many options left in this complex. Could use some revitalizing.

I visited this place to get my SIN number. I'd recommend reaching within the first hour of opening, otherwise you'll have to wait in long queues. The workers here are very polite and helpful so, don't hesitate to ask for help. The GRT facility is right across the street. You can buy bus pass there.

Need security code for washroom, understandable.... But now you need to be a paying customer... What if your just going to service Canada? No security officers available

Randall Culp

Unfortunately this place is dying should of left city hall here??????????????

E Cascarita

This place is getting worse every year nothing interesting to do there. The little shops they have there not interesting at all. I remember in the 90s it was soo much better!

Jeremy Mervyn

Good Life is nice, but dated.

BIGGIEDEVIL

Really run down a shadow of what it was 20 years ago, barely any stores with 2 or 3 food places upstairs, bathrooms usually have someone OD in the every week so beware of needles and homeless harassing you

Troy Dettwiler

I am so tried of the company that operates this building. Happy they are repairing the garage... but I am a Goodlife member and I can't count the times I've been stuck at the exit because the ticket machine failed. The parking staff that deal with people trying to get out are always rude. I am going to change gyms if this continues.

jacqueline pope

Its not what it used to be without Eatons and all the kewl shops. Please bring back the vibrance and more retail.

Brian Paul James Weed

Great for parking but the mall itself is very run down and there is only 1 or 2 restaurants left in the food court and no retail shops left. Service Canada (not for Passports) is still there, but I would recommend parking and walk elsewhere during the day if you're looking for food/shopping.

Kevin Page

Building has certainly seen better days. The interior space is tired, dated and empty of commercial activity. GoodLife fitness is about the only thing running these days; it's days are likely numbered.

lakhwinder singh dhaliwal

i feel good

SethDedun

Really sad to see that management can't work harder to ensure the food court is a success, a lot of unused space in this mall tells me that they refuse to lower the rent.. guess it's better to make no money than to make some

J Sewerniuk

Nothing here to qualify it as a “shopping mall”. It would be awesome to have a grocery store, maybe a Source, a McDonald’s, an Urban Outfitters? Someone good to draw you in. It’s basically useless for locals.

Reinhard Drobig

'public' washrooms require an access code, this place no longer has anything to do with the Kitchener market.

Wilson Krüger Mariano

All well organized against the COVID-19.

Farshid Sadatsharifi

Very good and accessible

David Coghill

I went there to go to the unemployment office to apply for my old age pension

Gavyn McLeod

Dalia Ishaq

Fareed Hassan

Nice place to visit

Matthew Gardner

Mall is super empty and depressing but the gym is awesome because it's empty. Service Canada has short lines around 9AM. Food court is only half occupied.

Brian Dallier

Cruddy

Paul Roemmele

no shopping to be had, down to 2 choices for food court

Stephanie Higgins

The only reason to come here is for either the gym, Service Canada or the technical college. It's sad to see the mall slowly die away.

Jackie Grant

I only use floaters in there and they are a great company for paid day loans and very friendly

Page Bradley

Not very manly places to eat anymore.

Colleen Rennie

There was a woman who spoke to me via the Help line, as I needed assistance with my ticket and I can not get over the lack of professionalism that came out of her voice. I put in my blue and white good life pass, as someone said "that should just work," but it didn't! No problem. I'll call for help. The woman answers, I explain that my goodlife ticket is in, but I am missing my white parking ticket. She tells me not to put my ticket in there, as it will clog the machine, wherein I simply reply in a nothing but calm voice, I'm 25 and work with the Canadian Mental Health Association, I have strong interpersonal skills. She flies off the handle saying "yes it is your problem. Do not come back at me with your attitude. if that ticket gets stuck that's your responsibility." I try to cut in and claim I didn't by ANY means mean that in a mean or rude way, but she continues to blast me as if I'm her child. It's 7:30 AM and your shift is either finishing or starting, regardless that is NO way to speak to anyone. What if they were having a bad day? Contemplating suicide, went to the gym to try and catch a break, and I have Ms. Assistance telling me what my responsibilities are. There's a really good chance that person would have just said "screw it," I know this because it has happened before. Call this as irrational as you would like, but you don't realize how your anger and frustration over something as marginal as that can affect a person. I'm sorry if people are often rude or unkind, and I am sorry if you thought I was being rude. Those were not my intentions, I live and breathe to make the world a better place.

I'm impress with the free wifi and how clean the washrooms are.

Matthew Stancek

Nice little mall with a friendly jeweler's and a little McDonald's

Thomas Busch

Very few options here and your parking ticket will surely get stuck

Donald Daley

Ok

Le “FaZe” Monke

Great place to go for a quick bite or workout or just relax and have a quick pop, seating is available and there's free wifi

Seangdao Somsy

U sed to be the best now kinda rundown

Cedric S.

Terrible place. Only thing going is the gym. I feel bad for the businesses inside.

Marshal Vang

Parking sucks!! When first level parking is full you can't get out to other level parkings or you can wait until someone leaves or pay to exit.

Julian Hulan

Not much in the mall for shopping.

April Singleton

Next to no businesses left

hawkyfan

Wiith the exception of Good Life fitness, this location is almost dead!

Liam Buckner

needs to be brought back to life, could be very cool if managment decided to clean it up and actually make it into a "shopping" mall again, people told me there used to be a le chateua and stuff, if those businesses reopened i would 100% partake in shopping there and i feel other would too, get more food for your food court and bring back the old mall make kitchener fun again

Madelynn Powell

What a great day

Kimberley Coombs

No free parking

Mary-Ann Hoch

I was in line at the Service Canada ????????office to discuss some stuff. The line was for people without appointments & just waited for an available worker to talk to. They only had 3 out of the 8 cubicles operational so it took awhile. …

Sam L

It's deserted mall during covid-19.

Good life fitness is clean and kept up. Great gym to workout at.

Larry Bender

Went to Service Canada to drop off some forms.

Ali Boomer

Security guard harassed and accused us of loitering while we were eating lunch purchased there after we had just spent $500.00 at one of the very few businesses left there and i can see why no one goes there if this is how we were treated i felt a prejudice against us as if he felt we were vagrants three of our group had just finished work and still had their work clothes. This guard was an immigrant to canada and I was saddened by the fact that he was passing on prejudices... Perhaps next time he could at least be mannerly and not so blunt and rude. Even after i point out that there was fifty empty seats in the food court only two other tables were occupied and we weren't being disruptive by any means and proved we were customer's I know of many groups that go to malls just to walk we met our friends for coffee and a bite at the end of our day where is the difference I wonder

Helen Jackson

There is NOTHING there, whoever owns it needs to ramp it up. Put something in to attract people. We really could use some kind of a grocery store in downtown Kitchener. A lot of seniors need access to nearby stores, the market is amazing but only one day a week and a lot seniors can't afford to shop in convenience stores.

Sagar Patel

Great area to just walk

Ashley Lauzon

Nails salon socks

Judy Jasper

Needs to have more good places to eat like the old days.

Devon Pearce

Jake Stroeder

Nothing special

Danny Playdo

Such a great selection of meat

Juana Sullivan

Clean washroom, pay parking, food court pick up. Bus stops #7. EI 1rst floor. Clean building in our community guidelines.

Devon Pearce

i remember this building when it was full of life in the last few years the bottom floor still has a jeweler and trios college the second floor has a small electronic shop and service Ontario the third floor has a good life and a small food court that unfortunately only has two places remaining open but if you walk around the third floor you will find a covered pathway over the road that you can walk along and use for a quick way down to the buss stop as it has stairs to the street

mason belkwell

There ain't nothing here
