Outlet Collection Winnipeg is a nice addition to the city. It's an indoor mall with a bunch of…read morestores that you'd expect would be outlets. Um, yes and no. I suppose that it's kind of the norm at most outlet malls. Not all stores will give you heavily slashed prices on everything. I like that it's an indoor mall. You are protected from the elements when the temperature swings thirty degrees in either direction from zero. -30°C? You are safe from having your eyelashes freeze over. 30°C? It was what I had experienced while in the city. This mall was nicely air-conditioned and perfect to hibernate against hot, humid conditions. The mix of stores made me happy. Old Navy. GAP Factory. Winners. Claire's. Kernels - Baskin-Robbins. Skechers. Danier. Starbucks. Urban Treasures. Chatime. Lindt. I was perfectly content shopping at these places. Some are your regular businesses at any mall, such as Chatime and Starbucks. Winners has decent prices already. Old Navy, GAP Factory, and Lindt had deals that you'd expect from an outlet. The deals were fabulous. If you are a visitor, you can get a discount when you shop at various stores by dropping by Guest Services. The problem that I encountered was that they ask for ID. I dropped by to shop with a credit card and me. This woman at the counter would not accept photos of my driver's licence, both front and back, with my mugshot, on my phone. I didn't feel like grabbing my ID from the glove compartment of my rental vehicle and heading back to save maybe a couple of dollars on my great deals. Some stores are separate from the mall, but are still a part of it. Krispy Kreme is an example. I don't mind it because it has a drive-thru. There's also an IHOP, which is nice not doing a trip over the border to get your pancake fix. I spent my last full day in Winnipeg at this mall for a few hours. I enjoyed it. I used the washroom before I left. It was fancy and clean. There was plenty of parking. Each entrance is numbered, which is helpful. I look forward to returning to the city and dropping by this mall again. I'm glad that I can finally say that I've shopped here at long last. (330)

2.5/5 I suppose for…read moreWinnipeg standards, it's a pretty good outlet mall. Maybe this review is influenced by the fact I've been to many other outlet malls that have more variety, but I definitely felt underwhelmed after shopping here. The location itself isn't very ideal, as the two major streets are high traffic, so getting here isn't exactly convenient. The mall bills itself as an outlet mall, but I honestly saw very few outlet prices. There were barely any sales or deals in all the places I went to. Definitely disappointing. The place is huge though, and the mall design is extremely open concept, plus the washrooms are really neat. That's about all the positives I can say unfortunately; Polo Park has better options in my opinion if you're looking for clothing.

Chang's, the Asian-American restaurant chain that has made it up to Winnipeg. I had already eaten lunch. Had I known that P.F. Chang's was here, I would have tried it. I have never been to one in my life. This space is where Canad Inns Stadium (formerly Winnipeg Stadium) used to be. It's a bit weird to me, as I have fond memories seeing the Winnipeg Blue Bombers and the Rolling Stones play at this venue. I feel that this space still needs development. I don't know if there are plans to develop housing here. It looks bare with two buildings on a huge plot of land. There was plenty of parking space when I got here. There were garbage receptacles by the main doors. When you go inside the building with Winners, HomeSense, and Urban Behavior, you have the option of using the escalator or elevator. I did the former. I visited the three aforementioned stores. There were some great deals. However, I was here to find a washroom. This entire building doesn't have one that is open to the public. I find a lack of public washrooms in a mall-like plaza to be annoying. It's likely less maintenance for these businesses. My advice is to use a washroom elsewhere before you shop here! (490)

When I was a Winnipeg resident, I was a mall person. I had two favourite malls in this city: Polo…read morePark and St Vital Centre. I am more of a outlet mall shopper these days. However, returning to this city on vacation as a sentimental ex-Winnipegger, I hung out at this mall for seven hours. The mall person returned. It's still in me. I hadn't been to this mall since 2016, so it was worth the visit. It's a decent mall. It's a medium-sized one in that there's only one floor. Hudson's Bay (it has a Zellers!), London Drugs, Walmart, and Dollarama are your anchor stores. In 2016, I spent a lot of time and did a lot of damage at London Drugs. On this visit to the mall, I didn't visit any of these stores. I wanted to check out the other stores that I had missed. SilverCity, Hudson's Bay, Purdy's Chocolates, and Indigo were stores that I recognized. They have endured the test of time. I like them a lot. Everything else was new. I could picture the old HMV and Branigan's restaurant when you first enter mall entrance 3 and hit the food court. They are gone. The food court is still excellent. I had a late lunch at Koya Japan and my meal was excellent. I visited a bunch of stores that I had never been to at this mall. Miniso. SoftMoc. Sephora. Claire's. They are all cool stores that I enjoyed visiting and making some purchases. There is a lot of parking at this mall. It may get nuts during Boxing Day or week or month. I have never had any issues parking at this mall. This mall has an Earl's restaurant. I last dined there in 2016 and loved it. There's also Sushi Gozen by London Drugs that I'd like to try someday. I recently met up with a couple of friends here. We caught up over some Timmy's drinks and snacks. It was nice and a memorable, happy experience. It's a decent mall. It has everything that I like and need. (316)

For sentimental reasons, my rating is three stars. The state of Portage Place these days is truly a two-star rating, which is sad. Portage Place is a mall in downtown Winnipeg. I used to work at the Air Canada Building across from it. I visited it often, as my first two jobs in Winnipeg were both downtown. I liked the building's glass design that allowed natural sunlight to shine in. It had a tower with a clock inside. It was nice. The blue trim made this mall unique and modern. I rarely came to work without dinner on an evening or midnight shift, unless we were ordering in or I wanted to fetch dinner for a change. I remember one time heading over to the food court. There was a teriyaki place. I ordered chicken teriyaki on steamed rice. I loved it. I haven't changed much. I still like getting teriyaki with a protein whenever I'm at a food court. When McNally Robinson, a local independent bookstore, decided to branch out, it opened a location at Portage Place. I loved dropping by after work or during a lunch break. Sadly, it's gone, along with many businesses that have shuttered for good over the years. The McNally Robinson at Grant Park Shopping Centre still endures. It's the only one that remains in Winnipeg. The problem is trying to revitalize the downtown area. Eaton's shuttered in the early 2000's. Canada Life Centre replaced it. The flagship Hudson's Bay store has also closed. As cool as it was walking the skywalk to get to these stores, it's not as enjoyable these days because there's nothing to truly look forward to visiting. Branigan's had opened a location in this mall. It was a local chain and I loved dining there. I frequented the St. Vital Mall location more. Sadly, this entire chain is gone, too. I drove by this mall the last time I was in the city. It was a short stay. Part of me wants to see what the mall is like these days. Part of me doesn't because I have fond memories of the mall and I'd probably end up being sad about its current state. I am pleased that Prairie Theatre Exchange is still offering classes and has performances on the third floor. I look forward to checking it out. The anchor store at this mall is Dollarama. It's weird saying it. However, I'm glad that there is an anchor store! There is underground parking. It's heated in the wintertime. I am glad that this mall is still around, but it's such a shame that many stores have shuttered over the years. (133)

Stores have left, Imax theater and the Globe Cinema. Many store fronts are empty or up for lease for long periods of time. Some spaces are converted into offices. There is very little of a shopping experience in Portage Place. So if you are looking for shopping, I suggest you go elsewhere. There is Staples, florist, Shoppers Drug Mart, Dollarama, Ardenes, Suzy Shier, Stitches, fair weather, payless, few cell phone companies, Bentleys, few random pop up shops and a place to buy sporting memoribla. The food court has variety of fast food places from taco bell, east indian buffet, pita pit, fish and chips, thai, A and W and a pizza place to name a few. Decent size seating area of hard plastic seats. There is plenty of mall security around. This is due to recent violent incidents, a high occurance of theft, loitering & people being solicited for drugs in food court. The only good thing about this mall is Prairie Theater Exchange. This puts on a fantastic season every year and a must see.

Tip: Many buses stop in front of 360 Main and Winnipeg Square…read more Winnipeg Square is an underground mall at Portage and Main. I worked at 360 Main, which was formerly the Trizec Building. This mall is just under this building. Winnipeg Square was also built for the Trizec corporation. I didn't shop at any of the stores during my almost two-year stint at 360 Main. I did get lunch at a Chinese stall at the food court now and again. I don't know if it's still there. It was owned by a Chinese family. The woman behind the counter would speak to me in Cantonese. The food was yummy and combos were cheap. A number of buses stop in front of 360 Main and Winnipeg Square. I never parked underground, as I didn't own a car while I worked here. It is likely heated during the wintertime because it's Winnipeg. TD Bank is still there. I never had the need to use it. When you work in this part of downtown Winnipeg, you learn where all the banks are! This mall is open during regular business hours. It's a ghost town after 5:30 pm. I'd like to return to figure out whether the Chinese restaurant is still there. There's also a Booster Juice and Shoppers Drug Mart that I'd like to check out. This mall isn't the best if you're a tourist. There isn't a whole lot to see. However, if you work downtown, and need to stretch, it's nice to browse and grab a bite to eat while you're here. (135)
