Construction of the mall began in 1973. It opened in 1974 with 55 stores, two of which were the department store anchors Zellers (later Target) and Sears as well as a Dominion Supermarket, [2] [3] and a Kmart out parcel which became a Sears Home Store in 1999.

An Eaton's department store was added in the early 1990s, which later became a Hudson's Bay location. The original anchor Sears became an Urban Planet location and the space is now empty on the lower level, with Winners occupying the upper level.

A $60 million renovation was completed in 2008 adding 148,000 square feet (13 750 m²) to include a new 950-seat food court and 25 new fashion retailers including Forever 21, Zara, Victoria's Secret, Hollister Co. (closed 2020), Browns, HMV, Michael Kors, Apple Store, H&M, and Disney Store. [ citation needed ] During the expansion and redevelopment, the Toys "R" Us store expanded, and eventually became the largest Toys "R" Us store in Canada.

On September 7, 2018, the mall opened Market & Co, an area with restaurants and food stores, after renovating and converting the space previously occupied by Zellers and later by Target. [4] Sport Chek moved to the space that was not used by the new Market and Co. Dollarama took over the previous Sport Chek location.
