The mall is located on Goreway Drive between Etude and Morning Star Drive, approximately 1.25 km west of Highway 427.[1] The mall is 425,000 sq ft (39,484 m2).

History

Westwood Square was opened in December 1968, one of Mississauga's earliest enclosed malls.[2] The intention was to build a small area for residents to shop, the mall started to renovate and expand. In the late 1980s, 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. 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.[3]

In 2013, one of the parking lots on the west side of the building was removed and replaced with a retail store. The former area of the mall that hosted Zellers, was renovated for new washrooms, retail space, and a brand new food court. Many stores were introduced since then.

Westwood Square Bus Terminal

On the northwest side of the mall is a terminal servicing routes from MiWay, Brampton Transit, and the Toronto Transit Commission. The 64,000 sq ft (5,946 m2) terminal contains 15 platforms in operation.
