About Park Royal Mall

Park Royal is one of, if not the oldest indoor shopping malls in Canada. You wouldn’t know that by looking at the place though as it has been renovated over the years, with a major one that happened recently.

Park Royal North is on the north side of Marine Drive and includes stores like Hudson’s Bay, London Drugs and the Gap. Park Royal South is the massive facility on the other side of the main road. That’s where you’ll find stores like Staples, Best Buy, Simons, Zara, H&M, Winners, Sport Chek and Osaka Supermarket. The south is where you’ll also find The Keg and Trattoria restaurants.

In addition to the two completely separate north and south indoor sections of the mall, Park Royal also has an outdoor strip mall-style area that’s designed like a cute little village. Park Royal Village includes boutique shops like Aritzia, as well as major chain stores like Michael’s (for crafts), Home Depot, the organic food supermarket chain, Whole Foods, and Old Navy. There is even a Tesla car dealership too.
