This is an OK mall for errands. They have not only Loblaws which attracts a lot of traffic, but they have now added on a small Walmart, a bright, clean and updated rexall, my favorite restaurant Mongolian Village, and newly renovated Pet Value. Like Ryan S mentioned, other stores like Bulk Barn, Bentley and numerous service centers reside in this mall. I was here today(Thursday) right before the Easter holiday and it was PACKED! The food court was CRAZY busy, which was nice to see, because on the weekends it is usually dead in this mall. I also love how Blair bus station is just steps from this mall, which makes it very accessible.

I went to the Gloucester Centre just to kill some time before my movie started at the nearby SilverCity. I didn’t even waste half and hour in here. There are a limited number of stores. There’s a dollar store, a pharmacy, a Bulk Barn, a couple banks, a few clothing stores and several other stores and services. The mall is anchored by a Wal-Mart and a Loblaws at each end. The food court consists of an A&W, Silly Billy’s, Subway, Edo Japan and a pizza joint. The parking lot can be a bit hairy because of the nearby bus terminal but the size is more than adequate given the size of the mall. I would only come back to the Gloucester Centre if I was again bored, waiting for my movie to start or to eat at the Mongolian Village Grill which is delicious.

This is not the place to go shopping — it’s the place to do errands. I wouldn’t really suggest going here, otherwise. Rather than actual retail stores, you’ll find more shops here that offer some type of service. For instance, there’s a CIBC, GoodLife Fitness, Rogers, drugstore, aesthetic school, dental centre, and chiropractic and massage therapy centre. There’s also A Buck or Two for those last-minute, little things that you need. This mini-mall is mostly filled with people waiting for the bus at the Blair transit station, or killing time before their movie begins at the Silver City next door. You can also find the Mongolian Village Grill in this little plaza, which is actually quite popular and tasty as well.
