Bayfield Mall

Nothing there for such a large mall...Dollarama and Centra grocery store basically all there is. Shares a parking lot with Canadian Tire, tho

On august 26 the SECURITY GURD SEAN BLACK is a very good and honest person that cares about the customer and people at the mall he really helped me to find the place I was looking for it inside the mall

GO SEAN GO 🇨🇦

The mall itself is ok. It's clean and has a few anchor stores that include the supermarket and a dollar store at time of writing.
A lot of the smaller stores are closed and the foot traffic is few making this place this place feel empty. Though it's really not bad.

Very nice Mall. Larger than it appears. The food court is a fair size, good selection of food vendors and is well maintained. The cleaning staff are friendly and do their best to keep the area clean. Plenty of parking, and a nice variety of shops. It's nice to have the option of an indoor shopping experience.

Hakka Town is a hidden gem within the mall. Father and son are serving up authentic Hakka cuisine in a small takeout space. Everything is fresh and cooked to order. The Hakka chicken noodles were the best I have ever had and the Manchurian and chili chicken were outstanding. Will be going again whenever in Barrie

Sir games a lot is the heart and soul of this mall. Overall it is still a good place to visit if you need a service onstario or a dollarama. Plus many fascinating new wonders everytime I visit.

This is a big size mall to spend some time shopping and pick up some food while there as well. It has various outlets and caters to the different needs as well. The place is well lit and has clean washrooms with ample area for parking outside as well.

As someone who grew up in Barrie from 1993 and on, looking at the mall now versus like 2007 (15 years ago) it's honestly sad. It used to be our hangout for after school, whether it would be pool at the bowling alley, catching a movie at the Bayfield 7 cinemas, checking out Sir Games A Lot, and then getting a bite to eat at A&W or Subway, it was a great mall! Now, there's maybe 20% occupancy rate and there's only 1 restaurant (a jerk chicken place) and a DQ that's only open here and there.

It's sad seeing what once was a very happening and busy mall turn to this depressing, dirty, empty and sad place.

EDIT: just visited it again in August 2023, and the DQ is gone now too aswell as the Pharma Plus which was in this mall for at least 20 years. I wouldn't doubt that this mall closes down in the next 5 years.
