Fairview Mall - History

History

Location in Toronto

Fairview Mall was built in 1970 with The Bay and Simpson's as its department store anchors, and at the time was the fourth fully enclosed, as well as the first multi-level shopping centre in Metropolitan Toronto. In 1978 the Hudson's Bay Company (parent company of The Bay) purchased the Simpson's retail chain, and subsequently sold its Simpson's store at Fairview Mall to Sears Canada in 1991 (along with five others that were co-located with Bay stores). Sears Canada then converted Fairview's Simpson's into a Sears retail store.
