Westwood Mall is a major shopping centre located in the Mississauga neighbourhood of Malton, Ontario. The square is located off Goreway Drive and Morning Star Drive, approximately 1.25 km west of Highway 427. The 425,000 sq ft (39,484 m2) mall is small compared to other shopping centres in the area such as the Woodbine Centre, Sherway Gardens, and the Bramalea City Centre. Despite its size, Westwood Mall contains major retailers such as Walmart, Shopper's Drug Mart, and Subway. On the north side of the mall is a 64,000 sq ft (5,946 m2) transit terminal with fifteen operational platforms servicing the cities of Brampton, Mississauga, and Toronto.
Westwood Mall first opened in 1971, making it the first retail shopping plaza to be built in Malton. The intention was to build a small area for residents to shop, however as time went on, the mall started to renovate and expand. In the late 80's, Westwood Mall opened the first food court, hosting several vendors such as Subway and Tim Horton's along with various restaurants serving food from other cultures like Bombay Chaat, Simply Asia, and Moga‘s Pizza. Along with the opening of the food court. Major retailer Zellers opened in the late 80's along with the food court; however, only a decade later, Zellers was closed down and replaced with Bi-way. Many retailers were replaced through Westwood Mall's history; Into Fashion replaced Society, Fine Furniture replaced Bi-way and Price Choppers was replaced with FreshCo in 2010. In 2012 Field Gate Commercial and Plazacorp bought out Westwood Mall and changed the official name to Westwood Square Mall, however Westwood Mall is still used informally. In 2013, one of the parking lots on the west side of the building was removed and replaced with Walmart. The former area of the mall that hosted Zellers got renovated for new washrooms, retail space, and a brand new food court. Many stores were introduced since then such as Dollarama, Popeyes, and Fit4Less & more
