Fleur de Lys centre commercial (formerly and still commonly called Place Fleur de Lys) is a shopping mall located in the Vanier borough of Quebec City, Quebec, Canada built in 1963. [1] It is located across from L'Institut de réadaptation en déficience physique de Québec and close to the Videotron Centre. It is anchored by Walmart and Maxi. [1] The mall is access by Quebec Autoroute 973 and Quebec Route 138 via boulevard Wilfrid-Hamel.
Place Fleur de Lys opened on March 21, 1963, with anchors Simpsons-Sears (Sears), Steinberg and Zellers. [2] Place Fleurs de Lys is notable for having the first ever Sears department store in the province of Quebec. [3] This two level 140,000 square foot anchor space was the first French-speaking department store from the Toronto-based Simpsons-Sears Ltd. [4]
On October 17, 1968, S.S. Kresge Co Ltée opened a Kmart store. [5] As with Sears five years earlier, the Kmart at Place Fleurs de Lys was the first in the province. [5]
In March 1980, Place Fleur de Lys expanded from 650 000 square feet to 850 000 to reach 170 stores including a new Pascal hardware store. [6] After Pascal closed, its former space of 75 000 square feet was converted into another mall expansion of 145 000 square feet anchored by a single level The Bay store which opened on October 7, 1992. [7]
Kmart closed on May 31, 1995, and the Zellers in the mall relocated in its space. [8] Target acquired the lease of Zellers and opened a store at Fleur de Lys on October 18, 2013, as part of the retailer's second wave of openings in Quebec. [9] On May 8, 2015, Walmart bought the lease of the former Target store. [10]
Primaris REIT completed its acquisition of Fleurs de Lys on July 20, 2005. [11] The mall was later managed by 20 VIC Management. [12] On August 15, 2017, Cushman & Wakefield announced it would acquire 20 VIC Management and the transaction was completed the following month in September, bringing Fleurs de Lys to its portfolio. [13] [1]
Sears lasted until the end of the chain on January 14, 2018. [14]
In July 2018, the Fleurs de Lys shopping mall was purchased by Trudel Alliance from KingSett Capital for $60 million. [15] The acquisition happened in a time when the shopping mall had to deal with large vacant anchor spaces left by the departures of both Sears and Hudson's Bay. [16] The new owners have since began the process of redeveloping the mall. [15] The UQTR set up a campus for 6,000 students in the former Sears store. [17] Hart also opened a store within the former Sears building. [18] Hudson's Bay was replaced by Jysk, Dollarama and another local business. [19] [20] An entire section of the mall was razed between the Sports Experts store and the former Sears building in 2021–2022. [21] Trudel has announced that it plans to build several residential towers on the site of the shopping mall, with one of the buildings already in construction as of 2023. [17]
