History

Originally opened in 1974, the mall was expanded in 1986 to include a 7-screen theatre complex and new restaurant and office space. In 1988, further expansion added a major two-level retail wing to the north side.

In late 1999, the mall grew again to include a new 3-level department store (planned as Eaton's but ultimately opened as Sears), approximately 20 retailers, and a two-level parkade. The theatre complex was closed at this time and retrofitted into retail space.

The most recent expansion was completed in 2009 and includes a relocated food court, new retailers including Alberta's first Restoration Hardware and Crate and Barrel stores, and a complete renovation including zones for relaxation, sports, and family.

In 2012, it became the first mall to offer private visits with Santa Claus to children with autism.[1]
