The Shops at Pickering City Centre (formerly known as Pickering Town Centre (PTC)) is a large regional shopping mall located in Pickering, Ontario, Canada. Opened in 1972 as Pickering Sheridan Mall, the mall has over 150 stores.
The mall opened in 1972 as the Sheridan Mall with 80 stores. Its first significant renovations were in 1998.
The PTC underwent a $17 million renovation through 2008 and 2009. [2] This included new floors, ceilings, lighting and seating areas. It has a modern look and features an additional elevator.
On the morning of November 28, 2016, the Pickering Town Centre was flooded with water, causing the closure of the majority of the lower-level stores and Santa's Castle. The cause of the flooding was due to a broken water main. [3] [4] Most stores had reopened by December 1, 2016. [5]
Following the closure of Target Canada in 2015, in 2017, the former Target store at the mall was replaced by three new stores, a Saks Off 5th outlet store, Cineplex Cinemas 11 and VIP movie theatre and a Farm Boy food market. In 2018 new stores were added, such as Winners/ HomeSense and an Hakim Optical store. There are also redevelopment plans for the former Famous Players movie theatre and a Sears department store (under demolition to be replaced by condos [6]) at the mall.
Commencing on May 1, 2024, the esteemed retail hub, once known as "Pickering Town Centre," underwent a significant transformation. Salthill Capital, the overseeing entity, had revealed its decision to rebrand the mall as "The Shops at Pickering City Centre". Patrons witnessed a comprehensive rebranding initiative encompassing signage modifications, website redesign, social media overhauls, and other pertinent updates aimed at aligning with the new nomenclature. This strategic shift in identity was in tandem with the forthcoming development of the Pickering City Centre. [7]
