The mall was open at least by 1978, when it included a Safeguard Discount Drugs outlet.[1]

As of 1983, Central Parkway Mall had a four-screen cinema, Dominion, McDonald's, and Safeguard Drugs.[2] The theatre has 1000 seats.[3]

Two of the four men who attempted the murder of Barbara Turnbull had intended to rob the McDonald's at the mall a week earlier.[4] A handgun was found in a garbage container there.[5]

In 1984, Peel looked at leasing space at the mall.[6] As of 1986, the Region of Peel withdrew its offer to lease space for the Health Department East District Office, in favour of the Crestwood Centre.[7] In 1992, Hillmond Investments Ltd. (William Sorokolit) took legal action against the Region of Peel for Breach of an Offer to Lease, dated 1984.[8]

As of 1989, the mall was home to Mississauga Parent/Child Centres.[9]

Cinestars movie theatre has hosted the Mississauga Independent Film Festival in 2008,[10] [11]

Until 2012, MPP Dipika Damerla's constituency office was in the mall.[12] As of 2012, an outreach facility for Ontario Early Year Centres was in Central Parkway Mall.[13][14]

The mall was Peter Fonesca's constituency office (as of 2009),[15] Frank Dale's 2010 election office,[16]

In 2013, part of the mall was flooded, causing electrical damage that closed the Passport Canada offices.[17]

Tolias Landscaping and Plowing was a tenant at the mall in 2011, when one of its plows was stolen, running down Sgt. Ryan Russell in Toronto.[18]

Meadowvale Town Centre

[edit]

Meadowvale Town Centre was built by Toronto's Markborough Properties Ltd., the developer of the Meadowvale subdivision. The scheduled March 1978 opening featured a 55,000 square foot Dominion supermarket, the largest in the chain. The entire centre was 500,000 square feet.[19] The first phase cost $6 million, while the second phase cost $20 million, and was scheduled to begin construction on October 2, 1979. The expansion would bring the site to 425,000 square feet.[20] As of 1984, there were 80 shops and restaurants.[21] In 1998, Cambridge Shopping Centres Ltd. sold Meadowvale Town Centre and four other malls to ENA Realty Group Ltd., for a total of $78.5 million.[22] In 2003, First Capital Realty paid roughly $63 million for the mall, while it was in the final stages of a redevelopment. In the project, the mall would have 387,000 sq ft of leasable area.[23] First Capital maintained ownership until at least 2007.[24]

Mississauga Chinese Centre

[edit]

apparently aka Sino Mall

Rockwood Mall

[edit]

A 1969 planning study for the "North Dixie" area suggested commercial retail on the northeast corner of Burnhtamthorpe and Dixie Roads. By January 1972, developers had officially proposed a 21-acre site for the mall, and were asking the Town of Mississauga to build a large department store, supermarket, two small movie theatres, 107,000 square feet of retail, and a service station. They also were in talks with the Mississauga Library board, in the hopes of establishing a central library on the site.[25][26]

The mall's Dominion store opened in January 1974, with United Farm Workers picketing in relation to the Delano grape strike.[27] Dominion office staff had refused to meet with UFW representatives.[28]

The mall was open at least by 1974.[29] As of 1976, the mall added an expansion.[30]

In 1990, a 2-year-old from Streetsville was riding a lumber cart with 2 four-by-fours at Beaver Lumber in the mall, when it flipped over. He died in hospital.[31]

The mall's official opening was November 13, 1969,[32] with Education Minister Bill Davis presiding.[33] The mall's initial closing time was 10 pm, in contrast to most retail shopping centres, which would close at 6 pm.[33] As of opening, 200 area high school students were employed by the mall, with another 100 hires expected, which would make them the largest employer of youth in Mississauga.[33]

Early retailers included Ingeborg Shoes,[34] King Donut,[33] Kmart (opened by at least August 1969),[35] Thom McAn,[36] and Sheridan Mall Cinemas I and II.[37] The theatre stayed until at least 1980.[38]

J.D.S. and Eaton's held tenancy discussions between 1986 and 1987.[39] During Christmas 1987, the Eaton Sheridan Place used the tagline "Now We're The Place".[40] Tenants in this era include Club Monaco,[41] Cultures Fresh Food Restaurants[42] Living Lighting,[43] Liz Porter plus size women's clothing,[44] Pot Pourri's housewares[45]

A grand re-opening was held October 26 to 29 and 31, 1988

South Common Centre

[edit]

South Common Centre is part of a 100-acre municipal centre for the Erin Mill South housing development, that aimed to centre all "the social, educational, recreational, religious, cultural and shopping structures required by an eventual population of 50,000." The Don Mills Developments Ltd. project was designed with discussion aided through the city, over three years of input, by architects James A. Murray and George Abram.[51] The Loblaws store opened in October 1980.[52]

In 1983, the mall was acquired from Cadillac Fairview by Sutter Hill Developments, Ltd., the real estate division of Canada Permanent Mortgage Corporation, itself a subsidiary of Genstar Corporation of Vancouver.[53]

In 1987, a large crowd waited outside the mall, after watching Rambo in the mall's theatre. After police threatened to arrest one man for trepass, he and his friends went "berserk", according to police testimony. That man, Orren Lawson, and two others, were arrested for assaulting police, and Lawson was sentenced to jail. At trial he alleged he was assaulted by police in the jail, as well.[54] The theatre was still there until at least 1995.[55]

As of 2000, the mall was owned by Alexis Nihon Group, of Montreal.[56]

Since at least 2011, the mall has been anchored by Walmart, No Frills, and Goodlife Fitness.[57]

Abandoned projects

Applewood Mall

[edit]

As of 1969, the Applewood Mall was planned for construction, intended to be the largest mall in Mississauga.[62]



The Towers Plaza on the northwest corner of Dixie Road and Dundas Street contested the development, with a hearing at the Ontario Municipal Board beginning in late 1969. Robert Macaulay represented the property against the Town of Mississauga's solicitors John G. Parkinson and Len Stewart. Two weeks were set aside for the hearing, given the multiple years for the Sherway hearings.[63]
