Heartland Town Centre

I’m tired of Square One. There’s more interesting shops at Heartland. I put on my Sunday best when I go into swanky shops, that way the store staff don’t give you the evil eye as if you’re about shoplift something! It did happen once, I swear on the bible I didn’t steal. But I gave the three security guards my coat and dumped the contents of my purse on the desk. I took the opportunity to clean out my purse while I was there, much to their irritation!

The location is very convenient for me when I don’t feel like cooking dinner or travelling far distances. However, I’ve noticed the quality of the food portions have declined in the last few years but the prices have increased.

Very close to where I am. I go there sometimes.

I visit here many times during the year. There are a variety of stores to choose from. There are plazas in which the stores are located in. Not all are on this particular address. You could just drive around without knowing the area and still find the others.
Some stores include Harry Rosen, Calvin Klein, Garage, Aldo, Sport Chek, and The Children’s Place. There are stores for different age groups, genders, and merchandise. I have visited Calvin Klein whom had wonderful service. Keep an eye on the clothes and The Children’s Place as once there was a huge stain on one of them.
Not a place to go in the winter as you must park and then enter the stores. It’s not one great mall like Vaughan Mills or Bramlea City Centre. That’s the only reason I would give it a 4 and not a 5. There’s more restaurants to dine in rather than fast food choices. Overall, great experience.

The is the heart of shopping central in north Mississauga right where a lot of the big box stores are located.
You name the retailer, they are pretty much all represented here with large spacious stores.
Costco, check!
Canadian Tire, check!
Walmart, check!
Home Depot, check!
Heart Sushi, check!
Best Buy, check!
Winners, Marshalls, check, check!
You could spend a whole day driving around from store to store to indulge in non stop shopping and then spend the evening in one of the many restaurants in the area!
Yes I am addicted to the Heartland area…

Heartland is my go to place whenever I have visitors in Toronto looking for some deals. They have basically every store you want here. Costco, LCBO, Bath and Body Works, Under Armour (my favorite store), Le Château, H n M, and I could go on and on. I suggest if you plan on coming here to MAP OUT which stores you plan to go to and in which order. Parking can be a pain during weekends and you will spend more time trying to find a spot instead of shopping. However, if you plan out your trip well you will have a great time.
There are a TON of restaurants around the area and plenty of variety. Of course make sure you check the Unilocal reviews to see which ones are the best!

Walmart here: They have the WORST customer service and managers I have ever come across. I am NEVER shopping here again. Instead of listening to the fact that I was mistreated by walmart employees, she yelled at me telling me that’s it’s not her job or problem.
I was put on hold for 26 minutes in order to be transferred to the vision centre. Within that call, I had been transferred to the wrong area 5 times and each time, I spoke to an extremely rude staff member who was unqualified to pick up the phone, let alone have manners. Finally when I was transferred to vision care, the call hooked me up to customer service, which then yelled at me and hung up. I then called back and went through another manager again, who said she’d link me up with customer care. In reality, I was linked with another customer in line for the vision centre. The lines were mixed up.
I’m absolutely disgusted. It horrendous how these people run their business. I’m never coming here again.

Going the second time around, it’s kinda grown on me. There’s alot more to check out, but its spaced out and better for someone who is driving about. I can imagine in the summer it would be better to venture on foot.

Great deals to be found here.
The staff is super friendly .
High end clothing .
New it items weekly.

I heart Heartland
As someone who lives in Mississauga, this is perhaps the best shopping it has to offer short of going to any real malls. Firstly, they have a Krispy Kreme.
‘Nuff said.
I could probably end the review right here but I’ll keep going. They also have a variety of other places to eat, mostly places like Second Cup and Baskin Robins. Places to stop by quickly to be able to recharge and get back to shopping, nothing really that gourmet except Panara Bread which I would consider gourmet. Their prices are at least.
In terms of actual shopping stores, everything I need (as a male) is here. They have a Banana Republic and Calvin Klein where basically my whole work attire wardrobe was derived from. They have both a BestBuy and a FutureShop there as well as a direct near by (and an EB games and The Source), so the electronics front is covered. There is also a friggen Costco and LCBO in the plaza as well. TBH I wouldn’t even know which store to recommend next because all my favourite stores are here.
The only disadvantages to this place are that it’s not an actual mall, so you need to drive from store to store. This becomes a problem if you are directionally-​challenged like me. But in today’s day and age with every smartphone having a GPS, it’s not that big of a deal. I still manage to find places (eventually).
Overall I love this place for its convenience. huge range of stores, and generally cheaper prices. I can see why someone who is hardcore into fashion may not like Heartland, but I mean if you are into fashion that badly, what are you doing at an outlet store you know? Stick to the Eaton Centre.

As a whole, I love Heartland Town Centre.
Some of the individual stores are whomp whomp.
I would say the Banana Republic Outlet is my favourite one I’ve been to in Ontario.
I like the Winners here and my boyfriend finds a lot of clothes he likes at Calvin Klein.
There are lots of food options here as well.
I find it funny that I didn’t know Heartland Town Centre existed even though it’s across the road from Krispy Kreme. I would just exit off the highway, get doughnuts and leave.
Back to Heartland Town Centre. What I like about the outlets here is that clothes are on sale, but when you go to the counter *SUPRISE* they’re even more on sale.
I love that. Some of my favourite clothes are from here :)
My favourite outlet in Ontario thus far.

This «Town Centre» runs in strips, stretching across 3 intersections on both sides of Mavis. It’s convenient for me and I like this place because it’s super close to my house, and I have a car. Not so fun during winters because you’re mostly outdoors, but a great place to shop, eat and hang during summers.
The convenient big wigs?
Walmart Superstore, Canadian Tire, Future Shop, Best Buy, 2 Dollarama stores, Loblaws, LCBO, Home Outfitters and drumroll for my favorite… COSTCO!
The good sales?
Tommy Hilfiger, Tiger Direct, Home Sense, Winners, XS Cargo
The eats?
The Keg, Milestones, Tandoori Flame (no more Tuckers), East Side Marios to name a few
Donuts?
Krispy Kreme
There’s tons that I haven’t named in my categories. Heartland has a diverse set of stores… something for everyone.

This place has a lot of shops. All the Shops are all over the place so plan to drive around into different plazas but what you get here is variety and cheaper prices as most of the shops are outlets. It is way better than a regular mall so you do tend to enjoy.
If you are taking a bus or walking it would be hard to get around as there its spread over 6 to 7 plazas.
Food wise there are a lot option especially if you are looking for halal food there is plenty from fast food to dine in. Various major chains are located in various plazas.
Its a full shopping experience!

So this isn’t really a «town centre» or a mall, but it’s more of just a lot of big box stores within the same area. There are lots of brand name stores like Best Buy, Future Shop, 2001 Audio Video, Sony, Tiger Direct, Banana Republic, Wal-​mart, Canadian Tire, BCBG, Rockport, Winners, HomeSense, Marshalls’ and the list goes on. Some of these are outlet stores and some are just normal stores. It’s definitely a good place for people to go shopping as long as you have a car.
So, come to this area if:
1. You are driving/​have a car (not pedestrian friendly);
2. Are looking for decent clothing deals; and
3. Don’t mind long lineups and slightly congested traffic.
But do not come here if:
1. You are taking the bus. You will spend hours getting from one plaza to another
2. Are looking for great food (though I just saw that Tandoori Flame is opening this fall where Tuckers used to be)
3. you are that person who has to «tag along» with your significant other to all the stores. You won’t have anything to do except suffer in the store and dream of your reward later for being so patient. :-)
Honestly, this is better than Square One for shopping, but if you are looking for really good food, not the place. Actually, this place is probably better than the newly opened Premium Outlets.

have a love/​hate relationship with this place… I love the deals, the brands, and the selection. I hate it cause it makes me spend so much more money than I want to! Whenever I come here, I leave with at least 5 purchases … maybe the only good thing is that I’ve saved probably over 40% from a normal shopping mall.
Between Marshalls, Winners, BCBG, Banana Republic, GAP, Nine West, Geox, and H&M, I can easily spend 2 hours in those stores. I’ve found great deals on designer brands at fraction of the prices. The only thing they’re really missing is a GREAT restaurant. They do have Keg which is pretty respectable for a chain restaurant. And they have Second Cup for some energy boosting drinks to let you shop more and more.
I find this place is much better than the Vaughn Mills outlet. Heartland has real deals, better selection, and also my SIZE! I’ll keep coming back. provided my credit card can recover from the last time I shopped here.

If your looking for brand name clothes, housing items, and other necessities, then Heartland Town Centre is the place to go. Having stores sporadically spread out just a little over 4 quadrants means you might have to jump into your car once, twice or three times to «store hop» which can get tiring but can add a little bit of fun to your shopping experience.
There are number of clothing wear stores here with usually 50−75% less what you’d pay at a regular retail price. Hence, shopping at Heartland requires precision, an art form rather of which shop your going to go next. A place to be avoided on boxing day if you hate rush, and are slightly claustrophobic.
Being at Heartland usually will typically turn into an all-​day venture, but one that can save you some money and get you some great items and make you feel like Alice in Wonderland as you accomplish this goal. 4 stars for having just about every store imaginable, throwing Costco in the mix, ample parking, and some good eats nestled in every quad.

Heartland is a great place to shop, just wish the stores/​restaurants kept later hours. Most of the area shuts down quite early, especially on Sundays
Traffic is annoying but at least there is sufficient parking

Being out in the burbs, it’s nice to be able to go to a complex that isn’t a mall and to be able to get just about everything you could need.
I agree that the walking/​driving around there is a bit of a cluster@$&k, but I can live with it.
Good choices of stores and lots of parking.

I grew up going to this outlet mall and I still hit it up when I’m in the area! Stuff in Canada is expensive now so outlets it is!
I like to go to:
Costco
Jacob
Michael’s
La Senza
La Vie en Rose
Parking is abundant but things are spread out. I also don’t really care for the quick dining options around here.

Just west of Square One is one mother of a big box complex. At the corner of Mavis and Britania, it occupies about a good square 2 kilometers of land. With a woman friend, it takes about a full Sunday afternoon to get through only about half the shops. If you’re doing the male thing, it still takes your Sunday afternoon to cover the 4 quadrants that comprise the Heartland Town Centre proper (not including the Wal Mart super centre, CostCo, Future Shop, etc. further south along Mavis).
Most of the major retailers you find in Toronto’s various shopping malls maintain an outlet version here. There’s also a range of dining options including Harvey’s, greek, Subway, Tucker’s Market Place, the Keg, and so on. No Manchu Wok, however.
All ‘n’ all, if you’re looking for a suit, workout wear, eye glasses, a leather jacket, or shoes, Heartland Town Centre is worth checking out first before hitting the mall.
