Merivale Mall, located in the southwestern part of Ottawa just outside the downtown core, is a convenient shopping destination offering 219,000 square feet of retail space. It features popular stores like Farm Boy, Sport Chek, Marshalls, and Shopper's Drug Mart, making it suitable for everyday needs. The mall is appreciated for its good stores, spacious Planet Fitness, and amenities such as seating, hand sanitizing stations, and trash bins. It also has a VR experience, Subway, Pizza Pizza, and banking services from TD and CIBC, providing a one-stop location for shopping, dining, and personal care. Although it is not very large and tends to be less crowded than bigger malls, some visitors find the limited brands and signage challenging. The mall's bathrooms have received negative feedback for cleanliness. Customer service experiences vary, with some noting excellent visits and others mentioning rude staff. Overall, Merivale Mall is seen as a practical place for quick errands, but not an all-day shopping destination.
Its a decent mall with some good shops. Sportchek is bigger than Kanata and has good inventory. They even have some coin kid rides.

Good job to the security guard of the mall named YOGESH who handled a solicitor harassing patrons of the mall

Love the mall! The only thing missing would be a dollar store. Would be very convenient for people in wheelchairs. I also love that they have lots of craft sale. Thinking about becoming a vendor someday.
