History

Georgian Mall originally opened in 1968 with Sears as its only department store and Dominion as a supermarket. Next door in a separate development was a free-standing Kmart department store. The first major expansion added a single floor Eaton's as anchor to a new two-level mall addition. (when Eaton's went bankrupt this space was divided into Sport Chek and HomeSense.) The next addition connected the mall to the Kmart building. Kmart was later converted to The Bay.[2] Another former anchor was Sears Canada, which was closed in January 2018.[3]
