Shopping Plazas
The major strip mall, Sheppard Plaza, is located at the intersection of Sheppard Avenue and Bathurst Street, and includes a Shoppers Drug Mart, TD Canada Trust, Bank of Montreal, Scotiabank, Metro supermarket. The store was formerly a Dominion, and before that a Miracle Food Mart, and originally a Steinberg's. Before that, it was a Grand Union.
There is also a smaller Bathurst Manor Plaza shopping centre at the intersection of Wilmington and Overbrook. It has been in decline since the early 1990s closure and 2004 demolition of its anchor Sunnybrook produce store, it currently features a King David kosher pizzeria and The Bagel Nook coffee shop. These two stores share a building that previously housed a Pioneer gas station, originally a Shell station, which closed in the late 1990s. The plaza is now slated for redevelopment, with plans of fortyfour 3-storey townhouses and two 7-storey condominium apartment buildings.

Famous quotes containing the word shopping:
“The most important fact about our shopping malls, as distinct from the ordinary shopping centers where we go for our groceries, is that we do not need most of what they sell, not even for our pleasure or entertainment, not really even for a sensation of luxury. Little in them is essential to our survival, our work, or our play, and the same is true of the boutiques that multiply on our streets.”
—Henry Fairlie (1924–1990)
