History
Orchard Park opened September 28, 1971 on a former orchard. The original mall layout included anchors Sears and The Bay (although The Bay was not completed until 1972) and a corridor of 35 smaller stores. In 1980, the mall expanded with Woolco departement store and a food court. It expanded again in 1992 with Eatons before reaching its current size in 2011 when the Best Buy opened.
