Devonshire Mall is a shopping center located in Windsor, Ontario, Canada. The mall has Zellers, The Bay, Sears, and other stores, totaling over 200. The mall currently occupies over 1 million square feet (90,000 m²) in retail space, and it dominates the retail landscape in Windsor and the lower southern expanse of Ontario. Devonshire Mall is a leading performer in the Canadian retail scene. It is the largest mall between Detroit, Michigan and London, Ontario. The mall was officially opened on August 12, 1970. The area was previously the "Devonshire Raceway" in the earlier part of the 20th century, until burning down in 1939. The mall originally had just 70 stores, but has had five expansions: in 1974, 1985, 1987, 1995, and 2000. The mall was also slightly damaged during the Windsor Tornado of 1973, but was completely repaired.

Devonshire Mall is located southeast of the interchange of E.C. Row Expressway and Howard Avenue, and across Howard Avenue from the Roundhouse Center shopping plaza (formerly a roundhouse and turnabout/train station until the 1920s). The address for the mall is 3100 Howard Avenue.

The mall is currently owned and operated by Ivanhoe Cambridge, and displays the names of the streets its main hallways exit to ("Howard Street", for example). It also has plaques at its entrances telling of its date of opening, and contributors to its construction and opening.

There are a number of notable stores to mention that are currently open at Devonshire Mall. Those include: Addition Elle, American Eagle Outfitters, Bell Canada, Bluenotes, Boathouse, Cotton Ginny, EB Games, Fairweather, Foot Locker, GAP, Garage, Guess?, HMV, Jacob, Jean Machine, La Senza, Roots, RW & Company, Shoppers Drug Mart, Smart Set, Sony Style, Teaopia, The Source, and Urban Behavior.

With the addition of several stores, the mall features a food court and two large restaurants: Moxies and Citrine. The food court includes: A&W, Burger King, Dairy Queen, Manchu Wok, KFC, Koya Japan, Mr. Sub, Mrs. Vanelli's, Niko Sushi, Orange Julius, Starbucks, Taco Bell and Tim Hortons. Plus additional food places located in the hallway between the food court and the Bay, which include: Second Cup, Yogen Früz, Simply Salads, Mrs. Fields, Pretzelmaker and Booster Juice.

Devonshire Mall also is a place for several events to be held, including several children, outdoor fanatic, and family shows and displays. Events will most often be located throughout the mall if it is an exposition, and most likely located at the pavilion close to The Bay if they it is a show.

During the 2008 fiscal year, many new stores have opened including Aeropostale and Swarovski.

Devonshire Mall closes at 6:00 p.m. on Saturdays, in contrast to other cities' malls which are usually open until 9:00 p.m. or 10:00 p.m.
