Grant Park Mall is a shopping center in southwest Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. The mall opened in 1962. Some of the original tenants were Woolco, Canada Safeway and McDonald's.
The mall and surrounding area became available for development in the early 1960s when the Canadian National Railway abandoned the Harte line. It made way for the construction of the Grant Park mall and the neighborhood that bears its name. Grant Park High School and the Pan-Am Pool are located across from the mall.
In 1994, Woolco stores in Canada were re-branded as Wal-Mart Canada. The Woolco location converted over to a Wal-Mart at that time. Wal-Mart closed the store when a stand-alone location was opened near Kenaston and McGillivray in 2001. It has since been replaced by Zellers, and will soon be replaced by Target.
Since 1995, the mall has been home to McNally Robinson, one of Canada's largest independent booksellers.
In 2008, the mall is home to around 70 stores. It is anchored by Zellers, Safeway, Manitoba Liquor Mart, Shoppers Drug Mart, Empire Theatres & McNally Robinson/Prairie Ink Restaurant & Bakery. Food vendors include; Tim Hortons, Koya Japan, Pizza Place and A&W. McDonald's, Petro-Canada, Applebee's, and Pony Corral have stand-alone locations in the mall parking lot.
