Reviews of Downtown Chatham Centre (Optics Shop)

Erica Martin

There is barely any stores here u are better off with not wasting your time and take a 45mins to an hour drive to London or Windsor

Andyman4hire

Not too bad but not loads here.

Mark Thomas

Very low selection of stores but lots of events.

Glen Neumann

Very clean. They need to attract more stores

Rocky's world

The mall could use an update, yet offers a good variety of modern services and locals that people want to shop.

Robert Redmond

Had time between appointments so looked for shopping on the map. Went to this dumpy empty mall. Very sad and depressing. A handful of stores left, horrible lighting and no shoppers.

Josh Robinson

I love you DCC, but you gotta find ways to get traffic.

AnnMarie MCLEOD

There isnt many stores left. Very disappointed

Josh Miller

Needs some work to draw people in.

Jim MacQueen

Nice variety of Stores. Only half of the second floor is retail/food court. No vacancies in entire mall.

Lorne Corvaglia

Sad that this once thriving mall has gone down . The government has messed it all up .

Michelle Alexander 67

Downtown Chatham Centre was the number 1 place to go to get the things you mite need .Plus it was the place to meet your friends.But now there is nothing open except for a few stores .Me as a person that lives in Chstham sure do miss this place.

Sky Fall

The only good store here is the dollarama.

Randy Rieger

It would be a better mall if it had stores.

Karen Scott

Great friendly service

Andrew Tompsett

The mall has an interesting history. The challenges it's faced over the years have seen much of its retail space converted to office space. This has meant a reduction in actual stores. There is lots of free parking and there are frequently activities at the mall. It would be nice to see some new stores, perhaps a grocery store or other useful amenities.

Amanjit Sahota

Very few stores inside this mall. Not a big mall

C Collins

This mall needs to change. There is no reason for me to go there. There is only 2 restaurants in the food court and Sears is leaving.

Devin Barrett

It's died a bit the last few years, but it still has a few good stores in it.

dark dreams

Love to play Pokemon go there

Chris B

Not much to do here. But the stores that are here are pretty nice.

Kaitlyn Doyle

If you've ever dealt with anyone from the administration office, you will immediately understand why the mall is 75% empty. It is most unfortunate for surrounding places like Retro Suites - being profitable must be a real challenge for them considering their guests have to look at a parking lot in such disrepair or try to go shopping in the "mall" itself. We're playing real fast and loose with the term "mall." I can't imagine how anyone who has purchased in that eventual condominium building must feel. I would be embarrassed to operate the Downtown Chatham Centre the way they do, but we all have our own standards.

The Kid 9

Little small for my liking but you got to start somewhere

Claire Brazeau

Chalktastic Creations had a geat day at Art in the Park Chatham - downtown Chatham Centre. Looking forward to coming back!

jadababi

Most stores closed. No real reason to go there but dollarama and Ardene... Real shame too. I remember when it was a very vibrant mall

Tracy Schillemore-Morton

There is nothing there and they didn't even have the lights turned in fully.

Crystal Pilates

This mall is dead. Nothing to see, nothing to do anymore. Needs a major renovation.

P B

An old mall devoid of signs of humanity with old, once thriving now tired, aging commercial establishments like Coles, Ardene, and Laura Secord.

mila

You guys need to fix your hours, we went here at like 7:30 and it was closed even though it says it closes at 9pm on the website complete BS.

Danny Zimmerman

Close and convenient reasonable price .freindly;j.great staff willing to help anyone that has questions or concerns .wheelchairs esexable.great for the family freinds and good times shop your heart out .

John Revell

This mall is dying. Many vacancies. Sears closed. New anchor store is opening soon, but has nothing of interest to me.

Jonathan Toney

It's a very peaceful, quiet place to sit and read. I like it here

Danielle Dunlop

Nothing there anymore.....what once was thriving is just now an empty with a few stores.

E H

The empty sears store was cool.

John Fournier

Terrible store selection. Needs more investor's for future generation

Stephanie Furtado

It's like a ghost town

Wesley Wilbur

Very little at all occupies this mall. A few speciality shops that have friendly staff for the most part. Decent dollarama.

Evelyne Groulx

It's so sad . They have no stores left. The mall is almost empty. Beautiful building though Wonder what Chatham will have now . What will be next for this building. What a terrible thing to happen to Chatham Kent County. I remember the days when you couldn't find a parking spot. The store's were busy. It's really so sad now . Hopefully something good will come out of all this .

Cortex Moore

Never

Jason Kerluck

A shell of what it used to be. But some gems still are there to be found.

Alice Soares

junk- Like most downtown centers - nothing here unless you are specifically going there for something/someone. Signs were too infrequent and spent most of my time looking for the business I wanted.

Donovan Isaac

It's a busy place on a Saturday morning everyone shopping this morning.

Jesica Fraser

Some good stores

Kal

Not bad for the size of the town.

Marcel Gautreau

Mostly deserted. Silly place for a mall, really.

Susie Tate

The stores that are there are good stores but the building needs more

Kevin Jones

Great place too shop

Kenny McCormick

Good mall but kinda dead

M

No elevator. For a parent that doesn't drive, I can't get upstairs with my stroller.

Stefanie Travis

Such a dissappointing mall.. If you can even call it a mall, most of it is vacant.

Justin Lucyk

This place just needs to fill up with more stores ,perhaps if the people who lived in and around Chatham-kent suggested what types of businesses they would like to see fill the downtown chatham center ,then I bet it could survive but with what's there now I see it only fading out eventually.

Steven Williams

Good but they need more stores for us people to walk to the one that don't drive

Daphne Wagenaar

A lot of store variety, bars/restaurants. Clean. Friendly.

Sean Broderick

If you listen closely, and the transients aren't screaming, you can hear Chatham's death rattle.

michael elliot

Went to the cellphone store very pleasant staff

TJ Coates

Mostly abandoned, but the clinic is nice.

micheal broullard

Sucks ,not much there...

CottyLem

It's a lovely place, I just wish they had more shops and activity. Without a mall Chatham will just feel like a small and empty town.

Brett Gartner

Ghost mall. Just like all small malls thanks to the Internet. Just about empty

Stan Marco

Under construction, can hardly wait for completion.

Dileep Somasekharan

It is a very calm and quiet town located in southern part of Ontario.

Chuck Canada

The mall is dead, the town seriously needs to do something about the vacant stores in the mall. Find a way to get business in there. It's such a nice building and great location, its a shame that it is a ghost town.

Roland Moniz

Not many shops open...I think it should be turned into a sports arena

S. Moore

Not enough stores or activity, but very nicely kept and in a great location.

lisa labadie-gagnier

A few stores.. not very well utilized.

Jeff Szusz

due to the economy and stores going bankrupt the mall has lost many of it's tenant's. There are only a few stores left and it's unfortunate.

Mike Thain

Not much going on in there anymore.

Victoria Martin (MssVictory 360 Consulting)

Not many stores left in the mall to shop at

Tiana Bogaert

Well organized and clean. This mall is small but has some good shops. The people are friendly and they sometimes have special events.

Ashley Anderson

Kind of smells like an old age home ☹️. Smells old and musty. Needs an upgrade.

Jason LeBlanc

A lil run down

dilvia darwin

Need to go to London or Windsor if we really to shop something.. But something is better that nothing!!!!!

Frank Strasburg

Ghost town. The place is a shell of what it once was, ever since Sears left

Matthew Tengelits

Great mall! But I think should get an Urban Planet, open it where Sears is, I think it would help the mall a lot for business and attraction.

Leslie Buller

Limited options. No food options. High rent keeps stores from moving in and staying.

Adebayo Temitope

Nice to be there free Wi fi

Bruce Adrian

Pretty empty but clean and cool. Needs more stores.

Mai Huong

Large parking place, clean and organized but quite empty. Still have some stores which were good to do shopping with family on weekend, such as : Suzy clothing stores, Dolarama, Benley bag store......

Eric H

Not to much going in there since Sears closed. Also there Level 2 electric car charger is still broken. How much can it take to fix the thing, really.

Amanda M (GoodFight)

Dying fast

Wanda Winfield

This mall has seen better days. Only a few stores left. A lot of walking was required which means I probably wouldn't go there again.

Chatham railfan2002

Love coming here, although most of it is dead now, still love this place

Jessica Archibald

Daughter went to Ardene's and Dollarama. Would love to see more stores though. Hopefully new owners revitalize.

Justin Rich

Great location with a variety of stores to choose from.

Michael Bond

Limited stores. Great parking.

Patrick Kelly

Great little mall, but the lack of stores is concerning. They need to draw in new business.

Teryn Weaver

It’s in the middle of a heat wave and the air isn’t on in there. No wonder this place is slowly dying. Anything to save a buck!

Wayne J Joseph Hayward (Dr Aw yah)

Well run center.

David Morris

Not what it once was!

Tanner Beaudette-renaud

Sally almost all the stores are closing and there's barely any more stores on the upstairs level

amanda Chambers

Wish there was more stores but over all great!!

Veronica Marci

Not enough stores but its all we have here for a mall

The Peeve

It is dying and nobody can afford the support bill.

Kaleah Young

Not many stores here -- and the ones that are don't appeal to me or my family

Ashmeed Ali

Need upgrading with a bit of more varieties.

Madison Wood

Not much of shopping but theres a few stores..

Theresa La Beau

So sad to see so many stores closed

Q kabonii elijah

Dead nothing here at all rarely not a shopping center for sure

Debbe Behnke

Almost dead for great selection

gameing budds

Chathams mall has pretty much became a joke. Theres a dollar store, ardennes, some food, and some random little stores that tend to be over priced. At this point I wouldnt even call it a mall, go to london or windsor if you want to go shopping.

Michael Clayton

Great friendly service.

Timothy R

So dead these days. Sad.

David Piercey

Great variety! Very clean

Joseph Beaulieu

Wish they had a Hudson's Bay store at the mall, but overall it's a great mall!

Kiana Kostis

It's better then before but not too many stores here. Hart is an awesome store though

Mr S

Not a very big selection of stores, most of it is closed but there are no crowds so it works out.

Linda Willer

The store has very limited shopping options. Half of the mall are offices and the food court is small and there are not many options.

Cynthia Moore

Not good no elevator

teha brown

Good places to shop, relatively cheep prices. I really enjoy the stores.

Frank Franze

Love coming here with my son! But as with most malls quiet and no where to shop.

Mathew Workman

My daughter refers to this as the 'Sad mall' - due to the sadness. I don't understand people rating this 4 and 5 stars... what's there to like in this place? Maybe don't nail the stores so hard with the rental fee's - if it was affordable you'd have some stores, instead of barely any. I don't own a mall - but if I did - I'm pretty sure I'd prefer some rental income per unit, to none.

Mc Twist

This place is a joke. Its a dead mall that was bought up by union gas and has a few random stores left in it. #chathamproud

Stephen Connolly

Not bad few good stores

Gloria Wood

Changed cell phones assistance was great

Marie DeSilva Brago

This mall in downtown Chatham is really a quaint mall with some nice stores, mostly clothing. Business is very slow here, but the Dollarama store brings in the majority of the foot traffic to the mall. Recently, a new store has opened that has something for everyone. It carries household items, bed and bath, clothing of all sorts, specialty foods, home decor and more. The hope is to increase foot traffic and to basically bring something new and refreshing to Chatham.

Lisa Trinh

It's a dying place. Put a grocery store in here or something to create foot traffic

Brendan Kennedy

Great place Needs more attractions though

Heather Muckle

Sad, to many businesses closing. Soon I can see the mall closing.

sam telford

It was great rickys has a great sale

Rachel Van Den Broecke-Daniels

No stores are left but a few

Michael Koster

Slower pace mall ,love it.

Bill Gardiner

Coming along very nice again. I think the new Hart store is a great addition.

Smokie A

Mall is empty

Mss Victory

The management is losing all its retailers and stores within the mall. Eben with the offer of free rent for a year the owner/mangement cannot srem to attract anything more than persons wishing office and event space. There is a business management issue clearly as thr stores are not the issue. The businesses vacating are doing well and thriving as are other businesses neighboring. This is clearly the business owner and or management firm that needs to rework their strategy or be forced to close due to lack of intrest in the facility. That would be a huge shame as the realeste and venue have so much potential

Karen Thompson

Food Basic.. In Chatham Ontario.

Melinda Lambert

Not a huge selection of stores, too many vacant spots available. Clean hallways, good for indoor walking.

Julian R. Hillis

Plenty of good stores if your looking for a good trip. A few decent places to eat.

Lisa Mcrobbie

Gone downhill over the years, only a couple good stores left and the new Hart store is there haven't been in it yet tho union gas pretty much took the building over and now years is gone

Ken Williams

Thank you for the internet in the food Court, clean clean restrooms included

Maxwell Emms

Only the stars. The Sears there went out of business so they don't have a real food court... Just a Subway... i need more variety myself.

Michael Hale

Nothing to see or shop. Literally is an ghost town. Unless that is your thing.

Wayne Harvey

Nice downtown with lots of shops and store.

sabrina bell

Two level structure, parking grage and free parking. Restraints second floor. Variety stores from dollarstore to book store.

Christine Gambken

Not very many good resonably priced stores anymore. Very disappointed

Mike Mike

Boring mall. Half the upper floor is offices.

Hasan Al Najjar

A wonderful and beautiful shopping center and always clean, and there are several different stores, clothes, mobile phones, accessories, furniture, shoes, small restaurant, pharmacy, gym, flower shop.

David kehoe jr Kehoe

always nice .going to mall in home town

Pat Reeves

Nice seeing and talking with a special lady who works for Laura Secord

Susan King

Not too much in there Don't feel safe either.

Travellizta N

Very few stores compared to the available space. Limited food options.

Kristen Eskritt

Every time I go to this mall there seems to be less and less stores I have a feeling that this place might close down for good soon. They really seriously need more stores in there. It would be sad to see something that was a big part of my childhood go to waste.

Prarthana Thakkar

Fine hangout place. Not so live during weekdays.

Brandon Lumley

It has a couple good stores left in it

Bill Beaton

This mall needs to fill the empty stores

Samantha Konc

It has changed alot

Mandie Lynn

They need to announce What's open bigger on the out side of the building by the doors and there open hours

Pablo Szabatin

Confusing parking direction. Mall felt empty.

Linda Morin

I have no reason to go there anymore and do any shopping whatsoever. The place is dead. There's nothing to eat in the food court. I could keep going. So much negative things to say about this place. It's sad really.

Jennifer

Great I went to virgin mobile. Very friendly

Matthew Ten02

Great Shopping Mall!

Helen Fraser

Need more retail

Md. Asadul Islam

It's nice and quiet place for shopping but only limited number of stores

Blazin' Handsor

The mall is great, variety of stores. Mainly clothes (which is good for my son, my girlfriend and I) but also good food court and other accessories. There is a few stores that I wish would've stayed or go in there but beggars can't be choosers.

John Mann

In my opinion, Internet shopping is killing this place. You could shoot a cannon down the main hall and not hit anybody. Most of the stores are vacant. Nonetheless, there are still a few gems here and it's actually a nice pleasant shopping experience. I'd rate it a 4 for the experience and a 2 for availability. Hence my overall rating of 3.

Don and Wendy LaPrise

Sears gone, not many stores the stores that are there are good like Ardene's, but not like it use to be

Kenneth Quiggan

Very sad to see the place so deralict

Beata Joy Naemsch

Nice clean mall filled with friendly people. Not a fan of the music outside. Too loud and distracting mostly rock. I avoid this area but would be nice place to sit at picnic tables to eat lunch or play chess.

Jaymie Hoy

There are no stores worth shopping at. They have all been driven out. Such a waste of space!

Mike Geniole

Great Mall! Nice variety of stores, but the only 2 things I wish this mall had was a Tim Hortons and for the hours to close at 9 PM everyday. Oh I also wish this mall had an EB Games. :)

Selena Moor

Called the mall office at 5:30 and the hours say closed at 6pm??? Can no one answered the phone at 5:30???!!!!

Louisestephens

Very sad indeed! Went mall walking and found it depressing. I used to be a frequent mall walker and it was fun because you could "window shop" as you walked. Not anymore! Turn the upstairs into condos or apartments and have the stores downstairs with a grocery store in the old Sears store. Bring it back to life!!

Michael Blackbird

Social distancing, was a great day just being outside

Caitlyn Phillips

Nice mall, dont have many stores but during Christmas its joyful and a good place for ideas of presents. Washrooms are decent and food court upstairs. 2 stores are closing and no stores really on the top level

Marjorie Brown

There is nothing there. The mall is mainly Union gas offices. Not much in the way of shopping.

Ed Dobson

Love the place need more time to see all but nice

Owen Cooper

Fast friendly service.

Christine Kociuk

Nice little mall but seemingly empty and possibly on the brink of closure...too bad it really has potential from a different perspective.

Jenn Ren

There's so little in there now. Can't wait to see what's going to happen with the new owners!

Kristina Schiller

It's not really a mall anymore. I'm not sure why everything keeps closing.

Timothy Crosby - Ferreira

I love the Chatham down town mall always good scenery good hearted people as well as incredible businesses with affordable prices

Cor Leg

No places left in the mall.

Kristian DeLong

I only rate the mall 2 stars because it has become so empty. The stores that are still there are great, but they won't last long unless things change. If they actually fixed things when they broke down and not wait months, that would help. And be willing to negotiate to get new businesses in there. The mall could be great again if they only cared enough to put in the work to fix it up. You have to be willing to spend a little money in order to make money. It's sad to see it in the state it's in.

Christina Reid

Sad, most stores are gone

Cheryl Alliett

This place has so many empty stores and soon Sears will be gone this location is sad

Jackie Tullo

Place is deader than dead. A relic from days gone by. Literally nothing much left here. The new 'Hart' store is a mess. Coles Bookstore just shut down at the end of May. Bentley's is gone too. Northern Reflections said they aren't renewing their lease either. By and far, Dollarama seems to be the only busiest store in the entire joint. Nothing left of the food court either except a lonely Subway. Escalator frequently down--in some cases for weeks at a time. No way for handicapped people or others with accessibility issues to reach the second floor without going all the way up to the Parkade's top level and using the pedestrian bridge! Which brings me to my next point -- there are NO washrooms downstairs either... I'd like to know who the geniuses were that designed and built this embarrassment in the first place? All you people giving this place 5-star reviews must be hitting the bong or something... The city is buzzing with all sorts of rumors that everything from office space to a Mosque will be moving in here, if it doesn't fall into receivership first. Face it. The 'glory days' of the DCC are long gone. No 'revitalization plan' or tossing around a bunch of fanciful ideas is ever to going to bring it back. This place might as well become a museum that pays homage to a bygone era. It is FINISHED. Goodbye DCC, and thanks for the memories.

Scott Sinclair

Parking lot full of ice and poor kept, drivers beware

Janet Blomme

They need more stoes and resturants as well they need to make it accessible for all

N VanKesteren

Great local craft sale however the mall itself was sadly lacking. Very few stores and I would not go unless they have another local craft sale again with venders.

Connor Swain

So many closed stores, very little selection.

melissa gibbons

So cute and lots of great stores

Lisa Thornton

I like it there they have lots of diffent places it reminds me how london was back in its time .

Gary Ayotte

Great place to visit

Trish Miller

Koodo was on the ball and got a second line added for me within 15 minutes

Nicole Ost

Very nice stores with friendly employees.

Gail Attewell

I was at a Dr appointment located at the east end of mall building off King St and wanted to enter Mall THERE IS NO OTHER ENTRY EXCEPT AT THE OTHER END. I AM UNABLE TO WALK THAT FAR AND l almost just went home but walked back to my car which I had to park far away as Street was closed and ended up spending just shy of $200.00. Also escalator is broken and has been for weeks hence did not go up stairs.

David Lewis

Pretty. Uch empty

Mike Hillman

Great place went to sears for there 70%off

cathy zink

Find the mall very dirty escalators are always broke down and next to no selection at all for shopping

Ted Striker

Bankrupt and Insolvent. Soon to be taken over by the City to be repurposed as office space for the municipality as well as relocating City Hall.

Margaret Pisanska

Nice mall but the hours suck

Karan Puri

Great little town.

Ed Lumsden

Empty. Pretty much a sad joke at this point. A travesty. Nothing but a great big EMPTY mall. Shattered windows outside the old Sears store, broken escalators, non-accessible elevator, no more washroom downstairs, burnt out light fixtures, filthy washrooms, etc. Just old, dark and dingy looking. It's a relic from days gone by. Would the last person out please turn off the lights and lock the door(s). The place is all but finished...

Brandi

There is next to nothing in this store, completely dead around noon... sad really, it used to be booming and now just waiting to close. Wouldn't even bother making a trip here.

wayne king

For the stores that are there..great.. Far from what it used to be.

Candace Morais

There it just nothing in this "mall". I dont know why they call it a mall

E.J. Smith

Sorry excuse for a shopping centre. Quite ironic, actually. Used to be a bustling place back in the 80's and 90's. But that was then and this is now. Malls are not the center of our cultural sphere anymore. They're no longer new & shiny--or even relevant. Sears is going bye-bye soon, and I expect the few stores that remain will eventually follow suit. In any case, I do most of my shopping online, or I'll head to London & Windsor and make a day of it. Can't even find a decent pair of jeans around here anymore... Nothing left in here but ghosts from the past. Empty, desolate, dark, and depressing. Like walking through a museum.

Sarah Longmore

Very dissatisfied with the mall. I came with my daughter for our checkup with our midwife and the escalator is broken again. How do you suppose I get my daughter and stroller back to the main floor? Is it going to take a mom by herself trying to do this and trip and something horrible happening to her or baby before this is fixed to proper standards?

JamesJaw21

Not much in the mall they opened a new store called heart it's okay

Henry Kane

Sad to say this, however the mall's time has come and gone I'm afraid. Owner defaulted on his mortgage, so the entire place is in limbo and facing an uncertain future at this point. Nobody knows for sure just what's happening with the joint. Whatever one's opinion, suffice to say that it's never going to return to what it once was. The 'Glory Days' when CK happened to be a thriving community with plenty of industry to support it, are also just a fading memory. Tired, worn out, not accessible as escalators and elevators have been out of order for over a year now, just downright decrepit. Even the AC didn't work this past summer. Literally just 5 stores left. T's and Sweats is leaving soon, too. Windows all smashed in outside the old Sears along Fifth Street, while the immediate area has a general run down feeling to it. The 'wonderful' condo building smack dab across the street has now been under construction for over a decade with a barrage of excuses as to the reason why it hasn't been completed yet... This town is on its last legs, economically speaking. It's becoming a retirement community full of rich snobs and greedy investors fleeing the GTA who have been coming down here to artificially prop up the local real estate market to unsustainable levels, but that's a whole other topic... I'm glad to be moving out and moving on soon. Such a shame. Was a vibrant place at one time (so was Chatham in general), but those days are finito. Would the last person out please turn off the lights and lock the doors... Goodbye, Farewell, and Thanks for the Memories, DCC.

Tammy Gould

Hardly any stores to shop at

Dave Cadotte

Pretty good mall for the size of the city but too many closed stores.

Annie Gunn

Not alot of stores

ann que

Nothing in mall worth going

Bonnie Hamilton

No access to handicap bathroom or upper level for people in wheelchairs

James Mack

An always evolving (revolving?) group of stores. The newly opened Hart takes the space left when Sport Chek vacated. (This reviewer starts at 3 stars and goes up or down accordingly.)

Tara Smith

Most shops are empty. Very few clothing stores to speak of. No food court. Massive wasted parking lot. The only store worth shopping at is Sears Warehouse and even it's closing down.

Richard Viknanek

the Dollar store had what I was looking for.

Leslie Reycraft

The washrooms are not handicapped accessible they're on the second floor no elevator just an escalator and stairs all the stores are leaving the mall just downright sucks

Richard Heaton

There for Retro Fest 40. Super collection of cars and trucks.

Nissebo 16

So many shops closed. No more Laura Secord candy and ice cream.

Rick Looser

To hard to get in

Shane Letourneau

Empty store...escalator down for months. Washrooms only on top level. There are no stores here....worth leaving town or shopping online.

Susan Dorion

This was probably a busy facility in its day. It was sad to see all the empty store fronts. We found the store we were looking for but not the item we were looking for. There very few people walking around.

Cynthia Boucher

Very clean very friendly staff best place to shop in Chatham Kent excellent prices on things

Big Joe

Bathrooms are far away and inconvenient. Had to go half a block and into the mall because pharmacy won't allow patrons to use facilities.

Charon Robert

Sad to see a mall slowly losing all of its stores.

Shawn Clauws

their is some stores there but it has been losing stores alot.

Ian Creighton

Nice mall with lots of potential.

Alycia Logan

It's a great place to go especially when it comes to holidays and I love how many stores are in the building

Shan Mccann

Not much here anymore. Dollar store and Hart store is worth it though

Christina McKean

If there were more stores I would love it more!

paul wyatt

Not the same as it was a few years ago, alot less stores, and more kiois both type things. Only walked thru, no purchases made, cleaning staff working hard, again tho inconsiderate shoppers, no masks or had the mask but wasn't properly worn.

Faiza Atif

Useful place

Ingrid Desmarais

Has some very nice stores. Wish they could bring in more stores to fill all those that are closed and bring in more Shoppers. Needs a good anchor store like Kohls.

George Elrahi

Nice place to shop.

Laura Vyn

Half of the stores are closed, the other half aren't worth shopping at

Mike Vantomme

They had a food court there

Jack Maynard

A glorified, empty, run down DUMP of a mall that should've been relegated to the wrecking ball 10+yrs ago. There is NOTHING, I repeat, NOTHING left here except a Dollarama and some tiny thrift store named Hart. Whole downtown core is dying.

Jan McNulty

Needs to be close and torn down. Nothing works. Escalator is always not working. Very pathetic.

Valerie Westlake

Kinda sucks need more / better stores for shopping!! Been a long time comming we have nothing here.

Kyla Mcfadden

Not many options. It was better 10 years ago

Debbie Elgie

The mall is a total disappointment to chatham Ontario and a disgrace

Sean Britton

Needs some stores not much left

jj Jacques

Chatham needs improvements to the downtown experience. Businesses are suffering. Stores that are still in the center are great tho. Thanks to them for holding up

Jennifer Crowder

Very few stores left; the one washroom down a dark hallway is creepy. Sad to see it in this state.

Terri Bueckert

Little here to comment on. Run down. Dated. Empty. Inconvenient.

Allan Smithee

Nothing further needs to be said that others pretty much have already mentioned. This place is deader than a doornail. Very little stores left now. Pretty much all office space which is now occupied by Union Gas, and even they'll be gone once their lease is up. Sears (the mall's biggest anchor) will be closing for good in October, 2017. Only A&W and Subway remain in the Food Court upstairs, as the Shawarma and Wok place just closed up shop too at the end of February. Even Goodlife Fitness doesn't appear as busy as it used to be (and it's expensive anyway). No washrooms located downstairs, so you have to go all the way to the back of Sears to use a ridiculously small elevator if you're in a wheelchair or use a scooter in order to use the washroom. When Sears finally closes, how are people with limited mobility supposed to use the facilities up on the second level? Sears had the ONLY elevator in the entire mall. Nobody could answer me that. It appears that not much thought went into this place when it first opened for business in October of 1982 (to much fanfare), but the excitement soon died off. Even way back then, I wasn't all that impressed with the joint. It could be argued that the construction of this mall destroyed downtown Chatham, not to mention the recession of the early 90's hit the area hard and it never really recovered from the "glory days." Everything except the bars and restaurants pretty much close down after 6PM. King Street is essentially dead after that. I'll be surprised in this place sticks around much longer, or is simply converted into all office space, since it has failed miserably as a retail centre. Almost EVERY single store that tried to make a go of it here, failed. The term "Ghost Mall" is a fitting description for this facility, and as more and more brick and mortar stores go the way of the dinosaur over the next several years, I expect to see lots more of these once-bustling metropolises fall to the wayside and dotting the landscape. Even the once biggest mall in the USA; Randall Park Mall in Ohio, has been abandoned and left to the elements. To me, this is not only proof of how the face of retail has forever changed, it's also a powerful symbol of the economic decline facing the West, a classic example of what's happening to small cities and towns all over North America. In summary, don't waste your time here, folks. London or Windsor is where the action is, especially if you're searching for a specialty or hard-to-find item. You're not going to have much luck shopping in Chatham. In any case, I predict this place will become a mere hollow, empty shell of its former self, reduced to nothing more than a nostalgic memory of days gone by in the tumultuous years we face ahead. To the ash-bin of history it goes...

Kent Haskell

Paula Husk

Kim Brown

Not many stores left in this mall.

Ashley Reid

This mall used to be so nice now there's such little stuff in it and always dead sad to see Chatham go downhill

Cathy Jones

The mall has more stores closed than opened such a shame

Shmendan

Really depressing. Used to be full of life, but 3/4 of the mall is empty and abandoned now. The top floor has only 5 out of maybe 20 stores open. Very quiet and unsettling.

a d

mostly an empty mall. lots of empty shops on king st.

Jesse Ellwood

Losing alot of good stores

Thomas Leveille

Probably one of the worst malls I have ever seen. If there was no stars that's the one I'd pick. Thank you. Not trying to be mean but it's a terrible mall.

Doesn't have a elevator for people who are in wheel chairs or if you are a single parent and you want to grab a bite to eat with your love ones in the food court don't bother cause if you use the escalator with your stroller you will get ask not to

Glenn Couture

It's a ghost town in there anymore is hardly any business

Faith White

This is almost empty. It is a loss for the local area

Boujon Little

Not much of a mall...no real reason to go there anymore.

Yvette Duquette

Still very empty but a lot of interesting stores, too

Brad Goldsmith

Fix your stuff. You Wonder why the units are empty?

Chris Couture

No stores left seems like the Management does not care. Escalators have only worked for 6 weeks in over a year. Come on guys get your act together.

This is definitely is not a mall. The building can only boast of Ardene, Sears, bluenote, dollarama etc. I had to drive 138km to London for an exchange of a footwear because the store a very popular one in Canada is not in Chatham and it's so called mall.

Dylan Bradie

The stores are all closing the property had snow on the sidewalks over a week later

Jordan Zimmer

A complete joke. Total farce. No elevator since Sears shut down, so basically not wheelchair friendly. No washrooms downstairs, in fact, not much of anything left here except a fitness centre and a dead pharmacy. The Dollarama was by and far the busiest store in the entire joint. LOL @ all these 5 star reviews, but exactly what the hell are you people smoking? Want a serious shopping experience? Then head an hour down the 401 to London or Windsor. Don't even waste your time with this clown show of a "mall", or anything downtown for that matter. Oh, and it was recently announced that A&W is closing in May... And will that stupid eyesore of a condo ever be completed? My hunch tells me otherwise...

Vicki Dinga

Lots of great sales for black Friday

Jim Angrignon

Not many stores or shops in the mall. A lot of vacant shops. It could use more shops to make it a mall. A Plaza has more stores. This place is kinda like a indoor Plaza with empty space.

geri lamarsh

Not much left there anymore

Mark

Quiet and small, Not too much to do hear. But it is a very friendly place. 4 stars for that. :)

Mrs. Sparling

Empty mall now but the stores left are excellent

Mike Boswell

Quiet organized with helpful staff

Patricia Atkins

Went to Charms. Service very good

Erik Burggraaf

This mall is half empty consisting mostly of clothing stores and a fast food food court. Wifi is terrible. Layout is alright. Trafic such as it is moves very well. Parking garage is old and extremely creepy. Unless you need clothes or an ANW hamberger, skip the mall and enjoy the rest of downtown which actually has much more to offer than you might think.

Jer Thomas

If your an 80s kid and can put aside all the vacancies and sadness, it brings nostalgic joy because it still looks like 1983 in there.

Nicole Mallett

This mall has gone to the Pitts, needs new ownership to get the place back to what it was!

SDC

Not much happening, Can't wait until the re-vamp!

Randy Laprise

Nothing worth going there for anymore
