Southcentre Mall is one of the largest (by area) shopping malls in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, 97,743.9 m2 (1,052,107 sq ft), and contains approximately 190 stores and services over two floors.
It is located in the city's southeast quadrant at the intersection of Macleod Trail and Anderson Road, and across the street from the Anderson C-Train Station, in the neighbourhood of Willow Park. The mall is owned and operated by Oxford Properties.
History
Originally opened in October 1974, the mall was expanded in 1986. In 1988, further expansion added a two-level retail wing to the north side. In late 1999, the mall grew again to include a new 3-level department store (planned as Eaton's but ultimately opened as Sears), approximately 20 retailers, and a two-level parkade. The theatre complex was closed at this time and retrofitted into retail space. The most recent expansion was completed in 2009.
In 2012, it became the first mall to offer private visits with Santa Claus to children with autism.[1]
In January 2018, Sears closed down following the company's bankruptcy, and Showhome Furniture opened on the first floor soon after for about a year.[2]
In July 2020, Oxford Properties announced the old Sears space would have at least five new tenants. PetSmart, Winners and Dollarama are planned for the main floor with a scheduled opening of spring 2021; however, other tenants for second floor have not been announced.[2][3][4]
