A Bigger Apple
This legendary local shopping destination has kept a steady growth pattern since 1964, when it attracted hordes of shoppers from around the city to dock in its enormous parking lot, and then partake of the air conditioned comfort inside. A pair of department stores, two-screen movie theatre, large furniture store and restaurant was all gathered under the same roof – a unique combination at the time. The mall has since undergone two huge waves of expansion, and the latest additions include Canada’s first location of The Apple Store, dedicated to personal computers, iPods and other computer necessities, plus fashion retailers including H&M, Lululemon and Old Navy. Yorkdale has its own fashion director, along with personal shopping services that supply a professional perspective on the current looks and upcoming trends. The in-house “Dream Team” is a squad of wardrobe planners eager to guide customers through the maze of over 200 stores, expertly assisting in customer satisfaction.

Popcorn and Prestige
Yorkdale continues to provide many hours of entertaining activities during every visit. There’s family-friendly cuisine at the mall’s locations of Casey’s Grill & Bar, the Rainforest Café, Milestone’s and the Pickle Barrel Grand. Sliver City Cinemas offer the optimum big screen experience and the Indigo Books, Music and Café provides a wealth of reading material and other gift fodder. The Bay, Sears and Holt Renfrew are the upscale department stores available, and modern décor shops such as Pottery Barn, The Bombay Company and Williams-Sonoma help continue Yorkdale’s tradition of catering to refined tastes within this mass appeal consumer haven.
