Place Versailles

Place Versailles is a shopping mall located at the corner of Sherbrooke Street East and Highway 25 in the Mercier–Hochelaga-Maisonneuve borough of Montreal, Quebec, Canada. With its 225 stores, it is the largest enclosed shopping centre on the Island of Montreal. Its anchors are Canadian Tire, Maxi, Winners/HomeSense and Bureau en Gros.

Most of the mall is one storey high, but a section of the mall, which was added in the 1980s, has two floors. Place Versailles is situated next to the Radisson metro station and is less than 2 km south of the Galeries d'Anjou mall.

Place Versailles officially opened on November 7, 1963 with 30 stores. Upon its opening, Place Versailles was the first enclosed shopping mall in the Montreal area. Its 30 stores included Steinberg, Miracle Mart and Greenberg. There was also in the parking the Cinema Versailles with its two theatres, one for English films and the other for French ones. The stores of Place Versailles totalized 350,000 sq ft (33,000 m2) and the land of the complex was 2,000,000 sq ft (190,000 m2). Today, the original section of Place Versailles can be recognized as the corridor of Canadian Tire and Maxi.

Pascal's opened a new store on August 21, 1969. At 91,000 sq ft (8,500 m2), it was the largest of Pascal's stores and one of the biggest locations of any hardware outlet built at the time.

On March 15, 1973, the Hudson's Bay Company opened a The Bay department store of 134,000 sq ft (12,400 m2).

From 1973 to 1987, Place Versailles was anchored by The Bay, Miracle Mart, Steinberg and Pascal's.

Miracle Mart at Place Versailles was rebranded under the M brand name on August 19, 1987; one of the last stores in Montreal to transition to the new nameplate.

In the late 1980s, Place Versailles expanded again and a new section was built with two floors, instead of one floor as in the rest of the mall.
