Shops and Businesses
Once fully completed, Dartmouth Crossing will consist of four components:
- A "big box" district, made up of large and medium retailers, including the largest Canadian Tire store ever built;
- A "main street" district containing smaller, fashion-oriented stores, known as 'The Village Shops at Dartmouth Crossing';
- An entertainment district containing restaurants and anchored by a 12-screen Empire Theatres movie theatre;
- A district containing businesses, including banks and gas stations, intended to serve the nearby business park.
- A residential area
Dartmouth Crossing is connected to Burnside Industrial Park directly via Commodore Drive and indirectly via Wright Avenue
Overall, the centre is planned to contain 20 big box stores, 40 shops, 15 boutiques, 20 restaurants, 10 service uses, 2 hotels, a movie theatre and 9,300 square metres (100,000 sq ft) of office space.

Famous quotes containing the words shops and, shops and/or businesses:
“I, who cannot stay in my chamber for a single day without acquiring some rust,... confess that I am astonished at the power of endurance, to say nothing of the moral insensibility, of my neighbors who confine themselves to shops and offices the whole day for weeks and months, aye, and years almost together. I know not what manner of stuff they are of,—sitting there now at three o’clock in the afternoon, as if it were three o’clock in the morning.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“In an age robbed of religious symbols, going to the shops replaces going to the church.... We have a free choice, but at a price. We can win experience, but never achieve innocence. Marx knew that the epic activities of the modern world involve not lance and sword but dry goods.”
—Stephen Bayley (b. 1951)
“One of the first businesses of a sensible man is to know when he is beaten, and to leave off fighting at once.”
—Samuel Butler (1835–1902)
