Galeries d'Anjou is one of Cadillac Fairview's four self-branded "Fashion centres" that also include the Carrefour Laval, Fairview Pointe-Claire and Les Promenades Saint-Bruno.

History

1960s

In 1967, Radisson street was renamed Galeries d'Anjou boulevard in honor of the upcoming shopping mall.

In 1968, Galeries d'Anjou opened. Its original anchors were the department stores Simpson's and Eaton's, and the supermarkets Steinberg's and Dominion.

In 1969, a Famous Players movie theater was added.

1970s

In 1976, the mall was expanded to make room for an additional wing including the arrival of the current Sears. Part of this expansion happened on the space of the former Famous Player movie theater which had closed and been demolished the year before.

1980s

Dominion rebranded as Provigo in 1980 and Simpsons to La Baie in 1989.

1990s

In 1990, Provigo closed and its space eventually became a food court in 1994 (which relocated in 2013) and a SAQ.

In 1992, Steinberg's went bankrupt and became a Provigo, though it had nothing to do with the previous Provigo in the mall that closed in 1990.

In 1993, Provigo (the former Steinberg's store) became Maxi.

In 1999, Eaton's closed its doors.

2000s

In 2000, Zellers opened. It took the first floor of the former location of Eaton's. The second floor of Eaton's was taken over by the The Brick in 2004.

In 2002, Maxi closed to make room for Sports Experts/Atmosphere.

2010s

In 2013, Galeries d'Anjou expanded with the arrival of a new Simons store which opened on the 15th of August 2013. The store is located on the north side of the mall.[2] A handful of new (or relocating) boutiques were added as well. These arrivals took place in the space of the former food court (and previously Dominion/Provigo) that was demolished to accommodate the expansion.

Target acquired the lease of the Zellers store in Galeries d'Anjou and converted the location into its own nameplate in 2013.[3][4] After Target closed all its stores in Canada, the Target at Galeries d'Anjou remains a vacant lot since mid 2015.
