History

Westwood Square first opened in December 1968, one of Mississauga's earliest enclosed malls. The intention was to build a small area for residents to shop, however as time went on, the mall started to renovate and expand. In the late 80's, Westwood Square opened the first food court, hosting several vendors such as Subway and Tim Horton's along with various restaurants serving food from other cultures like Bombay Chaat, Simply Asia, and Moga's Pizza. Along with the opening of the food court. Major retailer Zellers opened in the late 80's along with the food court; however, only a decade later, Zellers was closed down and replaced with Bi-way. Many retailers were replaced through Westwood Square's history; Into Fashion replaced Society, Fine Furniture replaced Bi-way and Price Choppers was replaced with FreshCo in 2010. In 2013, one of the parking lots on the west side of the building was removed and replaced with Walmart. The former area of the mall that hosted Zellers got renovated for new washrooms, retail space, and a brand new food court. Many stores were introduced since then such as Dollarama, Popeyes, and Fit4Less & more.
