Popular Toy Store Opens Brand New Location in Mississauga

Mississauga’s retail scene is a great one, but that doesn’t mean that the city doesn’t benefit when new stores–particularly standalone stores–set up shop in the area.

Younger residents and their parents might be happy to hear that Mastermind Toys, Canada’s largest speciality toy retailer, recently announced that it opened its 67th location.

Located in the bustling and easily accessible Clarkson Crossing Centre (970 Southdown Rd.), the new Mastermind Toys store will replace the brand’s former Erin Mills Parkway location that closed in March 2018.  

Mastermind also operates another standalone location in the Hurontario and Eglinton Ave W. The company also operates stores in Oakville, Milton and Burlington.

“We have been actively searching for the right site in South Mississauga for a very long time and finally found the perfect spot at Clarkson Crossing Centre,” said Jon Levy, chief merchant, co-founder and CEO, Mastermind Toys.  

“By opening in this highly visible location, we are well positioned to serve all of our Mississauga customers with the best selection of hand-picked, carefully curated toys, games and books in a colourful, energetic and friendly shopping environment.”

The newly constructed store spans 3,670 square feet.
