Capilano Mall

we decided to check out this mall because one of bently stores that was in a bigger mall ran out of the luggage we were looking for. Fortunately this Bentley store which didn’t have that specific luggage had more selections of other different ones. There were some other small shops, a walmart, sears and a dollar store, so if you’re looking for a bargain instead of brand, then this is a nice smaller mall to stroll around and buy what you need since it’s not too crowded and not too pricey.

I actually want to review Rogers at capilano Mall, don’t know why I am here. Anyway, this is not bad place. I only go to Walmart.

I had some time to kill before my business meeting that wasn’t too far from the mall, therefore, killed some time by browsing. This was one of the stores that I visited the mall. I really had high hopes for this mall. I wasn’t expecting it to be mild blowing like Metro or Brentwood but surely the Dollar Store can’t be the best thing going for this mall? It was dead inside, most employees looked sad. Although there were 100 stores, I mostly walked passed them and visited less than 10 which was out of boredom than a constructive purpose. There’s no more HMV so it’s really no point in being in the mall. Most of the revenue and traffic is generated by the Kin’s and Wal-​Mart.

In terms of offerings, this mall reminds me a lot of either Lougheed or Brentwood. It’s got some convenient staples, like Cobs, Walmart, Dollarama, and the likes so I guess if you live in the area, these are nice to have! There is actually a Vision Electronics here, which is pretty awesome because they are very few and far between (the other one is on Marine Drive in Vancouver). Despite this though, none of these are really that much of a draw here other than for a nice walk if in the area.

I’m a fan of the Wind Mobile Kiosk at the Lynn Valley Mall !!! Helpful, honest, easy-​going, and allow the customer to do what they need to do without being pushy. The only thing I would request is to have them identify trainees so that we can realize as customers that they need time to do t he transaction.
Phone plans — please include voicemail! There are so many add ons that the price goes from $ 25 no contract to a high jump for each additional item ie. voicemail.

Best Mall in North Van.
Wal-​Mart just turned into a Wal-​Mart Supercentre.

These places always fall in a ‘huh’ section for me as you may have been somehow a great mall back when you were built, but it seems you have fallen behind to other ‘mall’ projects in the GVR. I wondered when this place actually was built, and ‘wikipedia’ has the info, saying it was built in the late 60’s and later an addition of Sears was added. The words, not much have changed definitely apply here, where most of the vendors may have moved on (except Sears) but the area has practically stayed the same.
You would think that North Vancouver could sustain a big shopping complex, but the only mall that I know would be Capilano (land must be expensive!). The big box vendors here are Sears and Walmart, with most of the traffic going through Walmart. This mall is a mish-​mash of vendors, from a very nice Kin’s market, to store like EB Games, The Source, Ming Wo, Bentley, and others to name a few. I also noticed that this small mall has enough big cell phone provider stores, interesting, I guess it is to serve North Vancouver’s cellular needs.
The foodcourt is actually a pretty good size, harping on large for a mall this size. Food options like Thai, Japanese and other cuisine’s are available, with a Tim Horton’s, and a Cob’s Bread to boot. Also you got a government liquor store for all your boozing ways! This mall actually does have something for everyone, and I guess I’m just too used to the prettier ones I have walked. I guess the only reason why you would come here is if you had a mission, cause Park Royal is not that far away.
Definitely standing the test of time, this ‘mall’ remains. Also everytime I come here, I notice a lot of kids, must be the play area that is near the front.

I’ve been coming to this mall since 1997 and ever since then, I’ve always thought this particular mall was a bit of a dud when compared to the more popular malls like Metrotown.
Out of all the stores in this place, the only ones that’s really worth going to visit is probably Walmart and Sears.
There are stores like Walmart, Sears, Dollar Giant, EB Games, Urban Planet and they recently opened up a HMV outlet store there in late November as well but closed down after a couple of months later. Those are the only stores that most people would most likely visit. So there might be something worth checking out and many of the store’s prices are often fair enough but I would recommend not coming to this particular mall unless if you have a ton of time to kill or if this mall is particularly close.
Also, one of the reasons why this place is such a dud in my opinion is because only the 1^st floor is used for shopping. They have 4 different floors in this mall but strangely, instead of it being used for shopping, they’ve used the 2^nd to the 4^th floor for business offices and a preschool or kindergarten class.
The only way they could possibly make this more of a popular mall for the general public would be:
1) adding a few banks into the mall itself. Despite how there’s already a few banks nearby but I’m sure some people who is already in the mall doesn’t want to go back outside in order to get some money or in order to deal with some bank issues, especially during a bad weather.
2) also consider actually opening up SOME of the spaces on the 2^nd, 3^rd and 4^th floor into a few extra stores that most people would actually want to go visit.
3) Also, adding a movie theater like Metrotown would be another good way to attract more people into the mall though. I believe they were originally thinking about doing it 10 years ago but that idea was scrapped.

I quite like this mall. If I lived any closer to it, I might even make this a bi-​weekly trend. For now, I come here whenever I can.
Normally, I head straight for the Wal-​Mart. Of course, I’ll also take a look around the mall itself sometimes, like the Sears — considering the one downtown is gone! Tim Horton’s is right there if I need a snack during shopping. There are clothing and shoes shops for all ages. I believe there is an EB Games in there, or it could be another video games shop. There’s a kids jungle-​gym-​type «playland» where you can drop your kids off to play if they don’t like shopping. I’m sure you’d have to pay for it, I just don’t know how much. There’s an Ed’s Linens, People’s jewellers, and all sorts of other businesses.
Conclusion: Good variety of shops/​businesses. This mall has something for everyone!

Cap Mall has always been the «horse’s rump» of malls, I don’t know why, free parking, decent food court and a bunch of mom~and Pop shops anchored with Wallmart and Sears,

There are no good stores here. Don’t come here unless you like Walmart, because that’s all they have there, oh and a Sears, but then again why would I go to either of those stores that I don’t like?!
Point being, don’t go here!!!

Probably the worst mall ever. I came here once not knowing any better. When I saw they had an Urban Planet, I hightailed it outta there.
I think the highlight of this mall is Taco Time.

In the States, I wasn’t a big fan of Wal-​Mart. But things are so expensive here that I find myself driving from downtown Vancouver, across the Lions Gate Bridge to the Capilano Mall, which houses the nearest Wal-​Mart to the city. It’s a decent mall, but the biggest plus are the two anchors: Wal-​Mart and Sears. It has a Rogers Wireless store, but I can’t hold that against the mall. They can’t control how unethical their tenants are. The mall also has a huge eating area, but we passed on that. It

For the average male the stores here tend to favor the ladies and there really isn’t all that much other than Sears & Walmart which draws the big crowd.
That’s about it.
