Built across the street from the site of the former Ontario Motor Speedway "The Big O".

Ontario Mills is a large enclosed outlet mall located in Ontario, California; it is one of the primary tourist attractions in the Inland Empire. Like all other Mills properties, it is owned by the Mills Corporation. One of the largest shopping malls in North America, the mall opened to the public in 1996.

The mall is near the Ontario International Airport, as well as the interchange between the Ontario Freeway (Interstate 15) and the San Bernardino Freeway (Interstate 10).

Size
According to the mall's website, it is the largest one-level shopping mall in Western North America (there are larger malls, but they have two or more levels).

The mall is so enormous, that at each entrance, the automatic doors continuously play audio reminders of which entrance one used (in both English and Spanish). The use of this audio service has been rare in recent times. The light poles in the parking lots are decorated with large "Where Did You Park?" signs.

Comments

  • Look at the topo maps of the 1970's, Ontario Mills and Ontario Motor Speedway would have been (if OMS was still around today) neighbors.
