Surprisingly enough, the Sunrise Shopping Centre is on the western edge of Kitchener (this is…read moresurprising, and I'm putting this here because when I mentioned this to someone else, they wondered why this was surprising - and I responded because of course the sun rises in the east, not the west, but I digress...). Every day I thank the good Lord that I am able to live so very close to such a wonderful place. With big-box format stores from Walmart (yes, folks, it is a Supercentre), Canadian Tire, Home Depot, Shoppers Drug Mart, Old Navy, Mark's, Laura, Hallmark, Petcetera, Bulk Barn, among many, many more, it is a truly convenient place to one-stop-shop-until-you-drop. This, coupled with lots of parking means that you can hop from shop to shop quickly and easily and you can even pop over the Starbucks for a quick coffee. Some I know I have complained about the parking lot, but you just have to realize that the intersections are not all four-way stops, and you have to give way to traffic from Ottawa Street. Keep this in mind and your driving experience will be smoother and much less stressful... If only everyone had such great shopping capabilities so close to home!

We live behind the Sunrise Centre and frequent the shops and stores on a regular basis. I have a…read morecomplaint and it is not about any of the stores or services. My complaint is concerning the constant 24 hr/7 day per week music blasting from the outside speakers. We had planned a quiet relaxing afternoon on our deck and have now given up and moved back inside. If this was a resident on our street playing music this loud we would be asking them to turn it down. So we are asking Sunrise management to do the same. After store hours please turn the music off. For those who will say why did you move there? We were here far before the Sunrise Centre. Please, all we are asking is that you conduct yourselves as good neighbors and turn it down. Wayne Wilkie

Conestoga Mall was right across the street from the hotel we were staying at, and it has a…read moreWinners, so we had to go, lol. We walked over, but of course there is lots of free parking. The mall itself is like any other medium to large mall in Canada with the usual chains. I did not see anything special about this mall. No unique stores or anything that really sets it apart from any other mall. The Winners was really picked over and was wasn't that great. The food court was just chains with no independently owned vendors. My husband and I walked around, but nothing caught our eyes, so we didn't buy anything. It's an ok place to poke around, but not a destination mall, at least not in my opinion.

This mall is probably the best you can get in Waterloo Region in terms of ambience and selection…read more 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.

I have flagged visiting this Winners for a while. It is near a bunch of box stores, including…read moreCostco. This store shares the same parking lot as Dutchie's and PetSmart. I had no problem finding a spot. As with many Winners stores, there are displays when you first walk into them. I was pleased to enter this one, as it was -30°C outside with the windchill. I found a number of decent items. I got a bottle of OPI base coat and a pair of cozy pajama bottoms. The best part about shopping at Winners is that it has large shoe sizes for folks like me. I found a pair of Vans moccasin hi-top suede sneakers for $18. It originally was going for $50 and got reduced three times before I found them, tried them on, and said that they were meant to be. The store wasn't busy. There was one customer at the checkout before I went up there. The woman was friendly and cheerful. I love this Winners. I'm glad I finally visited it! (15)

I usually love shopping at outlet malls. But St Jacobs Factory Outlet Mall is just so depressing…read more There were hardly any bargains. And the stores and the merchandise were both so outdated. Not worth coming here for a special shopping trip but if you are in the area and have nothing better to do and outside is freezing cold.. then maybe.

This outlet mall is across from my hotel. I checked it out to see what stores were there…read more My friend had recommended the Levi's store, which had decent deals on t-shirts. Other than that, I didn't find anything that I truly wanted to buy because nothing seemed to be great deals. I did hit the jackpot at the Olde Tyme Kettle Kitchen on the second floor. I have a weakness for candy and desserts. I got white chocolate popcorn, beer nuts (pumpkin and peanuts), and graham cracker pretzels coated with dark and white chocolate. All six bags were under $16. The store also sells Kawartha ice cream, salt water taffy, sponge toffee, fudge, chocolates, and more. I would come back to visit these two stores. There is plenty of parking. (177)

With the arrival of Covid all seating area within the mall disappeared & has never returned. There are many walkers & senior people who use the mall for exercise & shopping , particularly in the winter months & at the same time need a place to rest but there is no place to sit & rest. It would be very appreciated by many users if they could rest for short periods of time.

I was there a few weeks ago to buy hand sanitizer as they were the only place in stock. I was told…read moreby another customer that their hand sanitizer is usually about $2. They are now selling for $6 for an 8oz bottle that's only 65% alcohol. Ridiculous. But don't worry this joke of a store won't be able to do that for long as they will be charged huge fines once Premier Ford passes the new price gouging law.

Is a pretty ghetto store and ghetto area that it's in. They have some stuff a typical dollar store…read morewould have, only they have a less variety of stuff that we need like mouse pads. not as big of as the other dollar store I've been to. You could find a better one than this. although you may need to move a bit more (cars, walking, etc...). Staff is also weird but not bad. Overall a meh place, good for a quick stop by for some cleaning or whatever supplies and some cheap snacks.

This outlet located inside St Jacob's Outlet really surprised me! There has such helpful and cheerful staff which is really knowledgeable with the products they carries. Even give suggestion of jean styles and fitting and help with finding the right size. And of course we ended up buying a nice pair of jeans that was on sale!
