That's a change from last time I was in that mall (which was over a year ago), I recall the mall being pretty much full. Then again, there's a lot more competition along Wellington Road between Exeter and Southdale Roads than there used to be. Several former hotel sites were redeveloped into more shopping areas.
It was only six years ago that mall expanded. Perhaps the expansion was a bad idea.
