Timmins Square is a shopping centre in the Mountjoy neighbourhood of Timmins, in Northeastern Ontario, Canada. It has 281,168 square feet (26,121.4 m2) of space. It has approximately 50 stores.[1] Characterized as a regional shopping centre, Timmins Square draws customers from a surrounding area whose population is about 150,000.[2][3]
Built and initially owned by Multi Malls, Timmins Square opened in 1976.[4][5] Campeau Corporation bought the mall in 1982.[4] The mall was expanded in 1989 to accommodate Sears as an anchor tenant.[6][7] Other anchor tenants over the years have included Walmart, Kmart, Dominion Stores, Zellers, Winners, and Sport Chek.[6][8][9] In 2000, an outpost of the Timmins Museum: National Exhibition Centre opened in the mall; items believed to be particular tourist draws included an outfit Shania Twain wore for the 1999 Country Music Association Awards.[10]
As of 1999, the mall was owned by Laing Property Corporation, which is based in Vancouver.[11] The mall was purchased by RioCan in May 2001.[12][13] In 2006 a renovation was completed,[14] the first major updates since the mall opened 30 years prior.
