The mall altogether is very nice for a strip mall. They have lots of good shops there and good access from departure Bay and the old highway as well as from Highland Blvd.

First and foremost – great parking. Every thing you need without crowds. Friendly people, both restaurants and fast food, hardware, groceries, bank, clothing and stationary.

I like books landing with staples and save on foods but most of all I love the mental health drop-in center they have at the back of the mall without this drop-in center I don’t know where I’d be it gives you referrals for drug detox or other places in the Nanaimo area they can refer you for further help if needed there is also emergency counseling as you can walk in without an appointment and see somebody right away if in crisis

Save on foods here has good deals and service. Staples is your go to for FedEx deliveries and supplies. Booster juice when it’s warm, tims when it’s cold. Don’t ruin it for others

My favorite mid Town plaza. Everything you need, staples, liquor store, groceries, gas, home hardware, there is even an amazing little pet store at the back where you can get crickets for your exotic pets!! Very convenient for South end residents so we don’t have to get all the way out to PetSmart. The lady working there is also lovely and helpful providing a more personal experience than the bigger box store.
