The Forgotten Gem of Oakville: A Tour of the Dead South Oakville Mall

Join us as we explore the abandoned South Oakville Mall, a once-thriving retail hub that now stands empty and decaying. Located in the heart of Oakville, Ontario, this mall has been a staple of the community for decades, but after years of decline, it's now a haunting reminder of what's been lost. Is the recent revival enough to bring it back to its' former glory? We'll take you on a journey through the forgotten halls of South Oakville Mall.

it might not have many stores, but it does have what it needs. A grocery store, department store, gym, pharmacy, restaurant, and some other services. The new restaurant there has been very popular so far. The main reason for vacancies is that most of the stores there before were small businesses, which got hit hard from COVID, and other ones that went bankrupt, like Target and Payless Shoe Source.

I remember back in the early 2000's it used to be called Hopedale mall, There used to be Target, Blacks camera shop, Tim Hortons (which is still there) and other things in the mall, unfortunately, after 2012 there was a decline in the mall, varies stores tried to open just to shut down a year later due to slow business. They changed the name to South Oakville Mall centre in 2020 and had a makeover but it didn't really bring any business with the new overhaul besides Shoppers and Metro thats been there for years. Hopefully things can change for this mall!
