Timmins Square is one of the largest shopping centres in northeastern Ontario. With 397,303 square feet of space it is the largest mall within a radius of 200 km or more, and attracts customers from outlying communities such as Chapleau, Smooth Rock Falls, Hearst and Iroquois Falls.

The mall is located in the Mountjoy neighbourhood of Timmins. Since opening in 1976, it has supplanted the older 101 Mall as the city's main shopping centre.

It has approximately 70 stores, with Zellers and Sears being the major anchors, alongside a large No Frills groccery store. Wal-Mart used to have a store in the mall, but shut it down and built a larger location on the outskirts of Timmins. In 2006 a major renovation was completed, adding Winners and Sport Chek outlets.

$1.2-million in further renovations were scheduled to be completed by the mall's 30th anniversary on Oct. 7, 2006, updating the look of the mall and its signage and fixtures. The goal is to achieve a newer modern look and to create more food court seats and more comfortable seating. The renovations are the first major updates done to the mall since it first opened its doors in 1976. Plans are in place to have leather couches placed beneath the malls skylights along with new food court furnishings.

The mall was purchased in part by RioCan Real Estate Investment Trust in May of 2001.
