The Pen Centre (originally The Niagara Peninsula Shopping Centre) is the largest mall in the Niagara Region, located in St. Catharines, Ontario, Canada.
History
Opened in 1958,[1] The Pen was at one point the fourth largest mall in Canada,[2] with over one million square feet of floor space. Located next to the Highway 406, it features over 180 stores, a major department store, a supermarket, a ten-screen movieplex, and several large format anchors.[3]
Famous Players opened the first SilverCity 8-screen multiplex cinema at that location on November 7, 1997. It is now owned by Landmark Cinemas.
In 2011, the mall began a $13 million renovation of the common space, including 3,600 sq. ft. of new skylights, a new food court, floors and ceiling treatments.[4] The renovations were completed in 2012.[5]
The mall previously housed several large retailers:
- Sears (194,611 sq ft.) Closed its store in January 2018.
- Eaton’s (converted to mall space in the late 1990s)
- Target (126,690 sq ft.)[6] - Vacated spring 2015. - Formerly Kmart and Zellers. The space is now currently occupied by a Walmart .
Target announced that it was opening a store in the Pen Centre’s former Zellers location in 2013. Just over a year later, in April 2015, Target shuttered all of its Canadian stores.[7] Later in 2015, the location was sold to Walmart Canada[8], which began construction on a newly revamped building in February 2018, and opened on August 22nd, 2019[9]. Sears closed its store along with all other Canadian stores in January 2018[10] [11], and as of June 2018, it is not yet known who will replace the former Sears store space.
