Conestoga Mall

Great place with just the right amount of selection. One does not need 15 shoe stores along with 20 ladies bags and luggage stores.

Everyone who’s been to the University of Waterloo or Laurier knows about this mall. It’s the first thing most people experience while studying in Waterloo and boy, it’s not a really satisfying mall. They don’t have any stores or great food court places that stands out. The best store they have is probably the Apple store, this is pretty much the only store students go to visit when going to the mall to either repair or buy tech to help them study better (jokes). They also have an H&M, Cineplex, Foot Locker, Victoria’s Secret, and other fairly generic national and international brands. But nothing that makes it worth going to besides the fact that it’s one of the only malls in the area.
The interior is pretty bland and nothing special, the layout of the mall is like a loop and it’s not that big either, you could walk around this mall and pass every store in less than 5 minutes. There are not that many people there, even on the weekends and that can be seen as a plus or minus.
Compared to the malls I’ve been to in Toronto (Yorkdale, Markville) this mall needs a lot of work to become at the same tier of quality.

Conestoga has a lot things I enjoy but I do wish they had some of the stores fairview has. There food court though kicks fairviews ass. There for I will continue to go to conestoga more than fairview.

Boring design and the usual stores.
Lot of white people meandering about. I hate malls like this, target is the only thing I recommend. Zzz.

Surprisingly good mall with great anchor stores, and decent selection of shopping. Food court is a bit meh, imho, although they cover the basics. They could do with more food options, some better anchor restaurants.
But really, everything you need to live is available at this mall. Food, clothing, housing essentials, etc, all at relatively affordable prices.

For Waterloo 4 stars. If this was in Toronto I would give it 3. Good selection of stores including an apple store. Spring rolls is here too which is always a nice option for lunch or dinner. Target here is alright. also have a Zehrs.

Definately the nicest mall in K-​W with a good selection of stores and a decent food court. You’ll find groceries, Target, Apple, many fashion and electronics options here.

This mall is probably the best you can get in Waterloo Region in terms of ambience and selection. Oh, and it even has an Apple store!
Good transit connections as well from UW, Laurier, and well… most of the Waterloo core since the very frequent routes 7 and 200 both serve there. You can even do your grocery shopping inside as there’s a Zehrs Market connected to the mall.
The food court has the usual selections, though the addition of a Spring Rolls To Go and a Tandori makes it slightly more unique than others. Love the open concept of it by the way.
The washrooms are very environmentally friendly as they encourage you to use the reusable towels they offer by the sinks. No need to use paper towels, no need to worry about bacteria from the dryers.
I rarely rate malls a 5 as I believe malls are a hindrance to good urban development, but at least this mall incorporates environmental concepts to it.

Out of the few different malls I visited while in the Waterloo area, this was probably one of the better ones. They had a nice selection at the food court and had all the essential shops. For high-​end retail you should probably visit downtown Toronto.

This mall has been heavily renovated these past 5 years. I have seen it expand, and become bigger and better compared to how it was 10 years ago.
The only indoor mall in Waterloo, popular for UW, Laurier, and high school students to hang out and shop. The main stores include Zellers, Zehrs, and The Bay. There is also a Galaxy Cinemas, now very close to an entrance of the mall. There are also a few restaurants accessible from outside — Spring rolls and Oliver & Bonacini.
Popular shops include: Pink, Garage, H&M, Blnts, Jacob, Old Navy, Winners, the Gap, American Eagle, and an upcoming Apple store. They have drastically improved their food court, now with Tim Hortons, Subway, KFC/​Taco Bell, Mac Sushi, and Bourbon St Grill; with a large amount of seating.
Interior design has also drastically improved, with a more modern style, appealing to people of various ages.
It is fairly easy to find parking throughout the year, with the exception of Boxing Day week. Many major bus routes go to Conestoga Mall, so it is also fairly accessible.

Yep, it’s a mall, but being from The States and seeing an entirely new variety of stores, how could I not be a fan? There are many international favorites, such as Gap and Old Navy. I even noticed a Victoria’s Secret finally made its way up to Canada, although I still prefer to have a browse around La Senza when I visit.
Other stores new to the American eye:
— Bluenotes
— Garage
— Gizmo’s
— Jacob
— Roots
— Sirens
— The Bay
… and many more that I didn’t have time to explore. I was also pleasantly surprised by the food court’s diverse options, and that the food actually looked good! In The States, our selection includes soft pretzels, a McDonalds, three Chinese stands, and a Sbarro (reheated pizza).
I ate at New York Fries
and had some decent poutine. There were also Greek, Indian, and health food restaurants!
But wait, there’s more! Conestoga Mall also has a Zellers and Zehrs: a grocery story in the mall! It’s a vast store too. My friend and I picked up everything she needed for her cookout after coming to the mall for her hair appointment. Great stuff, Conestoga!

Conestoga Mall is the local mall in Waterloo. I think it’s the best large indoor mall in Waterloo, probably because it is the only large indoor mall in Waterloo. There is a lot of parking available for the size of the mall. Shopping opportunities abound with the vast array of shops available, including Old Navy, The Gap, The Bay, Zellers and Zehrs (yes, there is a supermarket in the mall), among many others. There is an excellent food court with an eclectic mix of restaurants including A&W, Spring Rolls and Tim Hortons. I have found that there is something for everyone!

Mall am Rande Kitcheners, etwas unübersichtlicher als die Fairview Mall, aber trotzdem nett. Auch hier gibt es alle bekannten Marken sowie einen Supermarkt.
