History

On August 26, 1954, Simpsons-Sears opened a store on the city's outskirts surrounded by farmer's fields and St. Peter's Cemetery. The store was designed by John B. Parkin. Simpsons-Sears, later known as Sears Canada, attracted more businesses to Lansdowne Street, eventually establishing it as the City's commercial hub. [2] One year later, Loblaws opened nearby. The City announced a $2 million shopping centre at the site. This would not be realized until 1980. [3] [1]

The mall was substantially renovated and expanded in 2009, adding 160,000 square feet of shopping space and opening 40 new stores. [4]

Sears closed on January 14, 2018, after 64 years in operation. [5] [6] Sears Canada sold the building to Lansdowne Place in 2018, and it was demolished in 2020. [7] Sport Chek relocated to the former space of Sears at Lansdowne Place on November 10, 2022. [8]

In March 2022, Primaris Real Estate Investment Trust bought the mall from the Healthcare of Ontario Pension Plan. [9]

Retailers

The mall currently has two anchors, Sport Chek and Real Canadian Superstore. Other retailers include H&M, Old Navy, American Eagle Outfitters, Dollarama, and Sephora. [1]

Sears Canada Inc. was a publicly-traded Canadian company affiliated with the American-based Sears department store chain. In operation from 1952 until January 14, 2018, and headquartered in Toronto, Ontario, the company began as Simpsons-Sears—a joint venture between the Canadian Simpsons department store chain and the American Sears chain—which operated a national mail order business and co-branded Simpsons-Sears stores modelled after those of Sears in the U.S. After the Hudson's Bay Company purchased Simpsons in 1978, the joint venture was dismantled and Hudson's Bay sold its shares in the joint venture to Sears; with Sears now fully owning the company, it was renamed Sears Canada Inc. in 1984. In 1999, Sears Canada acquired the remaining assets and locations of the historic Canadian chain Eaton's. From 2014, Sears Holdings owned a 10% share in the company.
