Although we drive, we end up there several times every week. We remember the years before the Walmart but have been unable to pinpoint the year that it opened in the space which was formally a Zellers. We often pick up small amounts of groceries and use their pharmacy. This Walmart is much more convenient than another in the Queensborough part of the city. I also use the Westland Insurance office in the mall a few times per year. Some of the small shops are useful although we don't often purchase goods at them.
Post-COVID, the place often seems busy and has a vibrant atmosphere. I like meeting a lot of the community under the glass roof.
