Cambridge Centre is a major shopping mall in Cambridge, Ontario, located at 355 Hespeler Road. Hespeler Road, or Highway 24, is a major traffic artery in Cambridge, Ontario. In the 1980s, Hespeler Road began to become the city's major commercial area, and is now known as the Highway 24 / Hespeler Road Commercial District. [2]
Cambridge Centre is also one of the principal interchange points for Grand River Transit’s buses in Cambridge. The terminal is located at the south end of the mall facing Dunbar Road. GRT’s South Garage is also located beside the mall to the east on Conestoga Boulevard.

[edit] History
Cambridge Centre first opened in 1996. The site had previously been occupied in part by the smaller John Galt Centre, which was retro-fitted and expanded to the first phase of the Cambridge Centre.
The mall underwent a major expansion in 2002, which added a new food court (the former food court in front of the cinema was converted into additional shops), a Sears department store, and an NHL-sized ice rink known as the Cambridge Ice Centre. Since 1996, $100 million in total has been invested in the enhancement of Cambridge Centre [3]. This makes the mall more competitive with other major shopping malls in Waterloo Region, such as Fairview Park Mall and Conestoga Mall.
[edit] Community involvement
Cambridge Centre is very involved with charities in Waterloo Region. The mall has a special Community Kiosk that is offered free of charge to registered local charities [4].
