Lambton Mall

Lambton Mall is a shopping mall located in Sarnia, Ontario. It opened in 1971 and through several expansions now has 650,000 square feet of retail space. It is bounded by London Road, Lambton Mall Road, and Exmouth Street.

In the 1990s, Lambton Mall underwent several expansions.

Teppermans, a furniture store in a separate building on the mall parking lot was replaced by a Montana's. The Toys "R" Us and Farmer's Market were also relocated again, and a new food court and Sport Chek were added next to the Canadian Tire. A dozen new stores were also added during the construction of the two storey Sears store.

In 2006, Walmart closed down their mall location and built a new store in a strip mall just northeast. Their lease still runs until 2021, however this spot was taken over by Canadian Tire which had vacated their original location.

On December 17, 2000, part of the mall's roof collapsed under the weight of snow, near the Hallmark store, killing one person. The CBC and other Canadian media covering it relied upon US media for the aerial footage.
