I don't think anyone has mentioned Market Square in downtown Kitchener. Although I haven't been there in a while since they put The Record office there and moved the crappy Farmers Market out. The lower-level was completely dead, you could tell where the Radio Shack was etc.., and the main floor was occupied by no-name small independents. The majority of the upper floor got taken over by a fitness facility. I think the former department store space was an Eatons, then Sears Outlet, now the Record

Also in downtown Kitchener was the King St. Mall (I don't remember the exact name), which was formerly the home of the Sears Outlet before they moved to Market Square and also had a completely vacant food court. The building has since been taken over by Manulife as a call-centre, I don't know if any retail even remains, I'm not even sure if the Coffee Time that faced the street is still even there.

Similarly "rescued" by an insurance company's office, Waterloo's Westmount Square was actually in pretty decent shape as an indoor mall with Eatons and Michaels as the primary anchors. After Eatons bellied up, Clarica took over the space and completely renovated, closing off the indoor shopping portion of the mall I believe.

i think it will be done in time for 2010
I once worked at Landsdowne Park Mall (Richmond), back in the early 90s...it was still mostly rented (Eatons was still open)...but by then, clearly Richmond Centre (across the street) was the clear winner.

Guildford...wow. that was once a thriving mall, compared to the nearby Surrey City Centre Mall (Across the street from another place that I worked in the mid 90s).

I was going to nominate Herongate as a dying mall, and it certainly could use a bulldozing. I used to live beside there and shopped at the A&P quite a lot, but it was certainly not dangerous. I'd imagine it's even more dead now that A&P has closed now. That and the dollar store were the two big draws.

I think it was called the King Centre. It was anchored by a Robinson's Department Store that went belly up and became the Sears outlet you mentioned. Once upon a time (ie the mid to late 80s) it was a fairly lively place.

Clearly, the glory days are over for malls. The vast majority were built in the 1960s/1970s (albeit with expansions in the 1980s)...extremely few have been built since.

^looking it over, the list is far from complete. Where are, for example, Fairview Pointe Claire (Quebec), Carrefour Angrignon (Quebec), les Galleries d'Anjou (Quebec) and Place Vertu (Quebec)?

Clearly, the glory days are over for malls. The vast majority were built in the 1960s/1970s (albeit with expansions in the 1980s)...extremely few have been built since.
You are missing Edmonton City Centre with a total square footage of just over 800,000!!
Anchors include The Bay , Sport Chek, Coast Mountain Sports, Winners, Home Outfitters,

List is must be missing a lot - just in Montreal there are

Fairview Pointe-Claire - 1,044,147 sq.ft
Les Galeries d'Anjou - 1,225,446 sq.ft.
Mail Champlain - 702,015 sq.ft.
Place Vertu - 822,142 sq.ft.

Carrefour Angrignon is also well over a million sq. ft and Place Versailles and Place Rosemere is probably pretty close to that too.

I'll point out a missing mall WITHOUT quoting Molson,

Niagara Square
Niagara Falls 409,947 sq.ft. Gross Leasable Area.

Niagara Square and Conestoga Mall were exact duplicates right down to the locations of Zellers, The Bay, CIBC, Timothy's and other chain stores at one point. 'cept Conestoga flurished and expanded and Niagara Square bombed out. NS is undergoing a redevelopment now though.

I didn't mean that it is dangerous, just that it felt like it with the dark hallways, a clientele that is less then upscale and the overall junkiness of the stores.

I thought they replaced the A&P with a Basics or something?

Barrhaven Mall is probably the deadest mall I've ever been in. Before it was converted it had maybe one or two stores that had their main entrance in the mall.

Most of these malls in NB aren't defunct (except Moncton Mall), they're just on their deathbeds.

Chaleur Centre in Bathurst is the worst on that list, it's almost entirely vacant except for maybe 3 stores and a call centre. When Wal-Mart pulled out everyone else went with it.

Yep. That's exactly what happened in Hamilton.
Body Shop, The Gap, HMV are just some names of companies who left very shortly after Eaton's left.

Le Chateau & La Senza are pretty much the only remaining Big Name stores left in the Hamilton Eaton Centre... My Bad, Hamilton "City" Centre!
