History

The NHL sized skating rink

Cambridge Centre opened in 1996, on a site previously occupied by the John Galt Centre which was constructed in 1973. A Right House department store had been located in the John Galt Centre. The original anchors of the mall were Miracle Mart (at the current Marks, Marshalls, King Pin & Sport Chek sites) and Miracle Food Mart (at the current Forever 21 store site). The 1996 conversion and expansion doubled the length of the main shopping corridor with a fountain and new food court joining the old with the new. The construction of a 2-storey The Bay Department Store as the north anchor, the area which previously housed Miracle Mart and The Right House was expanded and reconstructed for Zellers which became the south anchor, and the previous Sears Outlet Store was converted into a 10-screen Cambridge Centre Cinemas.

The mall underwent further expansion in 2002, which saw the construction of the 2 story Sears Department Store with many new stores, the relocation of the food court to the new wing and a National Hockey League-sized ice rink known as the Cambridge Ice Centre. The new wing shaped like a horseshoe connects to the main corridor and now the mall has reached its current size. Since 1996, $100 million has been invested in the enhancement of Cambridge Centre.
