Merivale Mall is an indoor mall located at 1642 Merivale Road in the Nepean district of Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. The mall opened back in 1976 and is bordered by Viewmount Drive to the south and Merivale Road to the east. It's an approximate 20-minute drive from downtown Ottawa. Some of the shops and services currently located at the mall include Farm Boy, CIBC, Pizza Pizza, Rockwell's, Shoppers Drug Mart, Sport Chek, and the YMCA/YWCA. The mall is currently owned by Bentall Kennedy.
Back in February 2015, Merivale Mall announced that it would be undergoing a $10 million redevelopment. This redevelopment would include a new Marshalls location that would be 25,900 square feet. The redevelopment also includes a relocated and redesigned Sport Chek. The projected is expected to be completed sometime in the fall of 2015.
Sport Chek is currently the longest-serving tenant of the mall, which opened in 1995 to replace the Woolco department store that moved out of the mall. Rockwell's Restaurant was the longest-serving tenant, being open since 1986 and closing in late December 2015. Farm Boy has been a main tenant of the mall since 1996 when it replaced the Dominion store. The mall features a A Buck or Two until it converted into "Merivale Mart" in 2002, and soon went out of business as early as 2007.
