Garden City Shopping Centre is a single-level shopping centre in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada, located at the intersection of McPhillips Street and Leila Avenue.[1] Built in 1970, it was opened on August 12 that year.[2]
With an area of 379681ft2,[3] the mall consists of 70 stores and 10 restaurants on a single level. Anchor stores include Canadian Tire, Winners and GoodLife Fitness.[4]
The shopping centre is owned and managed by RioCan Real Estate Investment Trust.[5]
The shopping centre was developed by James Kelly of Toronto.[2] The centre was built in West Kildonan upon 40acres of land.[6] Upon construction in 1969–1970, at a cost of millions of dollars, 100000ft2 of space. The initial plan was for 40 stores. The T. Eaton Co. Limited also purchased space in the mall.[7]
A major expansion began in 1974, with a 181000ft2 addition. Anchor stores at that time included the Simpson-Sears store and a Dominion supermarket, with plans to add an Eaton's store and a Beaver Lumber.[8] T. Eaton Co. Limited opened an 86000ft2 store in August 1976.[9] As of that same year, Garden City was one of the four largest regional malls in the city of Winnipeg.[10]
The Eaton's store closed in 1998, and its space was taken over by a Canadian Tire store.[11]
In Spring 2018, Garden City completed a $10-million renovation. The centre was enhanced with revitalized interiors, new seating, new bathrooms, revamped food court, and energy-efficient lighting throughout.[12]
With Sears Canada having closed their operations due to nationwide bankruptcy, the space formerly occupied by them at the shopping centre has been redeveloped.[13] The 92000ft2 area was divided into multiple units, and a lease has been signed with Seafood City Supermarket, a new-to-Winnipeg iconic Filipino-focused grocer, Michaels, and Bulk Barn.[14] [15]
