This mall is one of the busiest in the National Capital Region as it attracts about 7 million visitors per year from all of the city but as well as from outside Ottawa

The interior of the 3-story mall has a relatively simple layout, as opposed to the Rideau Centre and St. Laurent Shopping Centre, which makes it very easy to navigate. Prominent retail tenants include The Bay, Winners, Sports Experts, Pharma Plus, Laura, Zellers, Birks Jewelers, Mexx, Club Monaco, GAP, Banana Republic, Old Navy and the newly-opened Savory's Fine Foods among its 150 stores. Well-known restaurants such as Subway, Kentucky Fried Chicken, New York Fries & A&W are located in its food court located on the upper level

Les Ailes de la Mode (from August 2001 to June 2003) and Market Fresh (From Fall 2004 to December 31, 2005) were also important stores that were located in this mall in recent years. Previous tenants included Eaton's, Toy World, Marks & Spencer, Steinberg, Miracle Mart, A&A Records, Little Farm, Boots, Sam The Record Man, Wilson, and the Pik Nik and Steak & Burger restaurants.

The mall is commonly called simply Bayshore by local residents. It is operated by Ivanhoe-Cambridge and the current general manager is Charles Champagne. The mall security is assured by the North American Security Services (N.A.S.S) while it is maintained by Everyday Maintenance & Landscaping (outside) and Allen Maintenance Ltd (inside).

Massive Construction & Renovation Period

First Phase

When the mall originally opened in 1973, it consisted of two floors, in earthy tones of browns with white. In the 1980s, the mall underwent an extensive facelift and renovation, chiefly the addition of a third storey, upgraded passenger lift, and a dramatic escalator going directly from the ground floor to the top level. The colour scheme was also updated to a stylish green and tan marble design. The original wrought-iron and wood railings were replaced by glass panels capped by a gold metallic balustrade. The new design featured large peaked glass panels as the ceiling, letting in lots of light to enhance the shopping experience. Another level was added to the exterior parkade as well. These changes helped Bayshore evolve from a medium-sized "community mall" to a regional shopping centre that attracts clientele from outside of the immediate area. The mall has continued to evolve in order to remain current in the dynamic retail climate that is Ottawa.;
