Place Rosemère is a super regional mall in Rosemère, Quebec. 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 1975 with approximately 70 stores, anchored by Woolco, Beaver Lumber and Dominion.[4][5][6][7] The Hudson's Bay Company had originally confirmed a La Baie store for the mall's inauguration,[5] but nothing ever came out of this announcement and it's only 16 years later, on March 13th 1991, that it opened at Place Rosemère.[8]
Dominion was acquired by Provigo in 1981[9] and Woolco by Wal-Mart in 1994.[10]
A first expansion, opened in 1991, relocated the Canadian Tire store into the new section, along with the newly opened La Baie store.[11] This expansion brought the mall to 150 stores.[11] Another expansion, opened in 2002, brought the mall to its current size and layout as Wal-Mart moved to a new location in the mall's expansion and a new Sears store moved to the old Wal-Mart store.[11] 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.[12] In January 8, 2018, Sears closed its doors.[13]
