Freiman Mall

Freiman Mall is an enclosed arcade between Rideau and George Streets in Downtown Ottawa, Canada, east of Sussex Drive and west of William Street. For practical purposes, "Freiman Mall" often refers not only to this walkway but also the building immediately west, collectively a shopping mall owned and almost exclusively occupied by the Hudson's Bay Company.

The mall is considered a separate entity from The Bay department store, although The Bay occupies the vast majority of the building. Hence it is possible to enter the building (which has entrances reading "Hudson's Bay Company") without entering the store itself (which has separate entrances, most with the nameplate "The Bay / La Baie").

A separate store, the Pharmamart grocery store / pharmacy also owned by HBC, occupies much of the bottom floor, while various Bay "mini-stores" (not directly accessible from within the main department store) occupy the central first-floor mall area as well as an overhead walkway over Rideau Street connecting the building to Rideau Centre. There are a limited number of third-party retailers, namely Maritime Travel and Godiva, although both occupy spaces within many traditional Bay stores.

During store closing hours, the mall itself remains open for the benefit of pedestrians, but the mini-stores are sectioned off with dividers.

The flagship Freimans department store operated in this location prior to its acquisition by HBC in 1972. The mall replaced a public street, once named Mosgrove Street but later renamed Freiman Street (to honor the Freiman family), which was adjacent to the Byward Market and the former Metropolitan department store.
