Place Rosemère is a super regional mall in Rosemère, Quebec, Canada. It is near the intersection of Quebec Autoroute 640 and Quebec Autoroute 15.[1] Its anchor stores are Walmart, La Baie and Best Buy. It has 200 stores, including a food court of thirteen restaurants.[2] Place Rosemère is operated by Morguard Investments.[3]
Place Rosemère began modestly when it first opened in August 1975 with approximately 65 stores at 337,000 square feet anchored by Woolco, Beaver Lumber and Dominion.[4]The Hudson's Bay Company had palnned a La Baie store 1977,[4] but nothing ever came out of this announcement and it's only 114 years later, on March 13, 1991, that it opened at Place Rosemère.[5]
Dominion was acquired by Provigo in 1981[6] and Woolco by Wal-Mart in 1994.[7]
A first expansion, opened in 1991, relocated the Canadian Tire store into the new section, along with the newly opened La Baie store. This expansion brought the mall to 150 stores. Another expansion, opened on September 19, 2002, brought the mall to its current size and layout as Wal-Mart relocated to a new location earlier in February 2002 and a new Sears store moved to the old Wal-Mart store.[8]This expansion coincided with the closing of two other anchor stores when Canadian Tire moved to a standalone location across the street and Provigo, one of the last supermarkets to be located in a Canadian regional mall, closed its doors. Some smaller stores took the place of the old Canadian Tire store, and Zara, Pharmaprix and Dormez-Vous took the place of the old Provigo store.
In 2008, the Best Buy store was built at the north end of the mall, next to Walmart.[9] On January 8, 2018, Sears closed its doors.[10]
