History

Originally opened in October 1974, the mall was expanded in 1986. In 1988, further expansion added a two-level retail wing to the north side. In late 1999, the mall grew again to include a new 3-level department store (planned as Eaton's but ultimately opened as Sears), approximately 20 retailers, and a two-level parkade. The theatre complex was closed at this time and retrofitted into retail space. The most recent expansion was completed in 2009 when the south entrance to the mall was redesigned and a Crate and Barrel opened up.

In 2012, it became the first mall to offer private visits with Santa Claus to children with autism.

In June 2015, the North entrance that was closed off back in 2009 was redesigned into a Sporting Life, adding a 4th major anchor tenant to the mall.

In January 2018, Sears closed down following the company's bankruptcy. Soon after, Showhome Furniture opened in the ground floor space vacated by Sears and closed as of November 2019. In July 2020, Oxford Properties announced that Dollarama, PetSmart, and Winners would open stores on the vacant ground floor space as part of an ongoing redevelopment project. Dollarama officially opened in November 2020, while PetSmart and Winners are scheduled to open in Spring 2021, with Winners opening on April 21.

It was also announced in 2023 that the third floor of the old Sears would be redesigned into an entertainment space. More information about this is still to come out.
