Stone Road Mall, situated at Stone Road West and Edinburgh Road, is the largest shopping mall in Guelph, Ontario, Canada with approximately 520,000 square feet (50,000 m2) of gross leasable area and 130 stores. It is operated by Oxford Properties.
It first opened in 1975 with a Kmart, Sears, and 35 other stores.
The first major renovation occurred in 1989 with the addition of the Atrium which included the 5-plex Odeon Cinema and adjacent parkade with spots for 600+ vehicles. In 1997 the food court was renovated. Zellers used to be in the former Kmart space but Target is at the former Zellers. That year also saw the largest renovation to the centre since its inception. Old Navy, Pier 1 Imports, Jean Machine, and Jacob Connexion were added to the front of the mall, a new entrance was added, and the main washrooms were renovated.
In late 2006 Home Outfitters opened in a reconfiguration of the Zellers space, along with Sport Chek. A new food court opened in 2006, which includes a fireplace.
Famous quotes containing the words stone, road and/or mall:
“And every stone shall cry,
In praises of the child
By whose descent among us
The worlds are reconciled.”

“He taught me the mathematics of anatomy, but he couldn’t teach me the poetry of medicine.... I feel that MacFarland had me on the wrong road, a road that led to knowledge, but not to healing.”
—Philip MacDonald, and Robert Wise. Fettes (Russell Wade)
“Finishing schools in the fifties were a good place to store girls for a few years before marrying them off, a satisfactory rest stop between college weekends spent husband hunting. It was a haven for those of us adept at styling each other’s hair, playing canasta, and chain smoking Pall Mall extra-long cigarettes.”
—Barbara Howar (b. 1934)
