Size
According to the mall's former owners, the Mills Corporation, it is the largest one-level shopping mall in Western North America (there are larger malls, but they have two or more levels).
Like other Mills malls, Ontario Mills is divided into neighborhoods. This mall has the most out of the Mills malls with ten. When shoppers enter at a mall's main entrances at neighborhoods 1,3 5, 6, 8 & 10, the automatic doors continuously play audio reminders of which entrance one used (in both English and Spanish). The use of this audio service has been rare in recent times. The light poles in the parking lots are decorated with large "Where Did You Park?" signs.

Famous quotes containing the word size:
“There are some persons we could not cut down to size without diminishing ourselves as well.”
—Jean Rostand (1894–1977)
“There are obvious places in which government can narrow the chasm between haves and have-nots. One is the public schools, which have been seen as the great leveler, the authentic melting pot. That, today, is nonsense. In his scathing study of the nation’s public school system entitled “Savage Inequalities,” Jonathan Kozol made manifest the truth: that we have a system that discriminates against the poor in everything from class size to curriculum.”
—Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
“Great causes are never tried on their merits; but the cause is reduced to particulars to suit the size of the partizans, and the contention is ever hottest on minor matters.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
