Anchors and majors

Original stores

Woolco[2] and Loblaws were the original anchors, with the grocery store opening October 26, 1966, before the rest of the mall.[3]

Phase 2 of the mall opened Wednesday, November 23, 1966 at 10 am; given the pre-Christmas date, Santa Claus attended, handing out candy canes.[4]

Scarborough Public Library operated a small branch (Agincourt Neighbourhood Library) in the mall since 1967,[5] but it was relocated in 1991 to a new building at 155 Bonis Avenue (as Agincourt District) in behind the mall and run by Toronto Public Library since 1998.
