I remember visiting this mall when I was on a trip to Toronto with my high school Vocal Jazz group! It was a cool mall, and it was very interesting to see the differences and similarities it has to L.A. malls.

About how much is the rent for one unit inside Pacific Mall?

Great place to shop. I was once there and got myself browsing some food stuffs on some stores located there. I love the chinese menu they have. I just love window shopping and got to know some friendly attendants that is very accommodating too.

@Chicago Mattress: It is very different from any mall I have seen in the US. There is a huge number of very small stores. It is completely unlike Chicago’s Chinatown. It is also unlike Gurnee Mills.
It is not large chain stores, but small mom-and-pop type businesses.

What makes this mall stand out from your average mall? It is the type of stores, the central location, or just a mix of it all?

Is the selection still good in the major stores despite the small size of the store? I am visiting Toronto here in August and would love to check this place out.

I live in St Catharines about an hour and a half outside Toronto. Every year when we have visitors from Britain we take them into Toronto for the shopping malls with out exception the Pacific is always favorite there are just so many bargains

You should go to asia, specifically Japan and China. They have the coolest malls ever.

So the stores there actually sold pirated movies in the mall? If so that is unbelievable, I have never seen anything like that before.

I know that I haven’t been to many places, but my favorite malls were the Navy Pier in Chicago and the outdoor mall in San Antonio (just outside their Six Flags park). I always like to see the small entreprenuer have a chance and these smaller cubicles probably keep the rent low.
