Overview
Carrefour Angrignon is an enclosed shopping mall located on Newman Boulevard at the intersection with Angrignon Boulevard in the LaSalle borough of Montreal, Quebec. The property is within walking distance of Angrignon station and serves the surrounding southwest Montreal communities. It opened in August 1986 with approximately 200 stores, making it one of the newer indoor shopping centres in the Montreal area at the time of its construction. The mall began with a broad anchor mix that reflected the Canadian department-store and mass-market retail landscape of the 1980s: Sears, Zellers, Maxi, Eaton's and Pascal's. Its tenant base subsequently changed repeatedly as department stores, electronics retailers, pharmacies and cinema operators entered, exited or were acquired. These changes illustrate the mall's adaptation to major shifts in Canadian retail, including the failures of Pascal's and Target Canada, Eaton's disappearance, the restructuring of Sears Canada and the later closure of Hudson's Bay's Canadian stores. Several former anchor and large-format spaces were repurposed. Pascal's hardware premises were temporarily used by Rallye Honda LaSalle in 1991 before being converted into a cinema. The cinema operation passed through Cine Entreprise, Famous Players and Fortune Cinemas, and is now associated with Cineplex. Eaton's closed in 1998; its former space was later occupied by Staples and the Sports Experts and Atmosphere combination. Future Shop moved to a standalone location in 2004, which was subsequently rebuilt as a Best Buy store. The Zellers space was leased to Target in 2013, but Target closed its Canadian stores in 2015. Hudson's Bay subsequently occupied the space from August 2018 until June 2025, when Hudson's Bay closed all of its locations in Canada. The former Hudson's Bay space was later used by Urban Behavior. Sears closed permanently in January 2018, and its former area was subdivided in 2019 for L'Aubainerie and Ardene, with later additions including Winners, HomeSense, Corbeil and La Cage. Maxi, one of the original anchors, closed in February 2026, leaving none of the mall's original anchor tenants operating there according to the referenced account. Current or recently identified tenants and attractions include Urban Behavior, Winners/HomeSense, Staples, Best Buy, Sports Experts/Atmosphere, Famous Players or Cineplex-related cinema operations, a food court and other specialty retailers. The centre's identity is therefore based less on a single signature brand than on its role as a multi-category regional shopping destination.
History
Carrefour Angrignon opened in August 1986 in LaSalle, a borough of Montreal, Quebec. Built at the intersection of Newman Boulevard and Angrignon Boulevard, the enclosed mall was positioned as a large regional shopping destination and opened with about 200 stores. Its location near Angrignon station gave it access to public transit as well as road traffic from the surrounding Montreal area. The original anchor lineup included Sears, Zellers, Maxi, Eaton's and Pascal's. This combination gave the mall coverage across department-store merchandise, discount retail, grocery and hardware. The tenant mix began changing in the early 1990s. Pascal's entered bankruptcy in 1991, and its former premises were temporarily used by Rallye Honda LaSalle for approximately one year. The space was then divided or redeveloped as a cinema. Cine Entreprise built the theatre, which later became associated with Famous Players after Cine Entreprise was sold. By the mid-1990s, the former Pascal's area was occupied by Famous Players and Future Shop. Eaton's closed its Carrefour Angrignon store on February 28, 1998. Its former space was subsequently reused by Staples and the Sports Experts and Atmosphere retail combination. Pharmacy occupancy also changed over time: Cumberland Drugs, which had replaced Kanes Super Drug Mart in 1990, became Essaim in 1997 and was operating as Pharmaprix by 2005. Future Shop moved to a standalone location in 2004. That location was later demolished and rebuilt as a Best Buy store, reflecting the consolidation of the two electronics retail banners in Canada. The mall's cinema operator also changed. Fortune Cinemas replaced the Famous Players location in 2006, but Cineplex later reacquired the operation or site. The department-store sections underwent further disruption in the 2010s. Target assumed the Zellers lease on November 13, 2013, but Target closed the store in 2015 as it withdrew from Canada. Hudson's Bay took over the former Target space and opened on August 24, 2018. Sears permanently closed its Carrefour Angrignon store on January 14, 2018. Sears Canada had held a 50 percent interest in the mall, and that interest was acquired by Montez Corporation after the closure. The former Sears store was subdivided in 2019, initially accommodating L'Aubainerie and Ardene. Additional occupants later included Winners, HomeSense, Corbeil and La Cage, illustrating the conversion of a single department-store box into a more varied group of tenants. Hudson's Bay closed its Carrefour Angrignon location on June 1, 2025, at the same time as the closure of the company's other Hudson's Bay stores in Canada. The former space was subsequently occupied by Urban Behavior. Maxi, one of the original anchors, closed on February 7, 2026. According to the referenced history, that closure left Carrefour Angrignon without any of its original anchor tenants. The mall continues to operate as a multi-category shopping centre with apparel, electronics, sporting goods, home, pharmacy, food-service and entertainment uses.
