SQUARE ONE ANNOUNCES WEST EXPANSION PLANS AND ARRIVAL OF THE FOOD DISTRICT

BEST-IN-CLASS FOOD CONCEPT ARRIVES, COMBINING COMMUNITY, DISCOVERY, AND DESTINATION SHOPPING

13 June 2018 (Toronto) – Among the top shopping destinations in North America, Square One announces the West Expansion development. With construction well underway, the West Expansion will open in November 2018, beginning with the arrival of global casual apparel retailer UNIQLO and other soon-to-be announced major retailers. In addition, Square One will be home to The Rec Room, the country’s newest hot spot for “Eats and Entertainment,” which brings together incredible dining experiences with exciting live entertainment and amusement gaming experiences, all under one roof.

An elevated experience for foodie tourists and locals alike, The Food District, opening in spring 2019, will be a new and tantalizing destination. The addition of both The Rec Room and The Food District is in response to the growing interest in today’s food culture, with a focus on offering local, handmade, and high-quality foods in a setting that embraces both new- and old-world food emporiums. Stretching over 34,000 square feet, The Food District will offer an outstanding array of specialty products as well as a space to meet, explore and share the love of food through tastings, cooking classes, dinner parties, book signings, and other special events.

“In the coming months, we will reveal more details surrounding the West Expansion,” says Square One director and general manager Greg Taylor, “Square One continues to be a premier location for world-class retailers and for the discerning consumer. The Food District will provide an inspired, fulfilling, and unforgettable experience for food lovers and adventurers in a setting that encourages discovery, community, and culinary indulgence.”

Over the past year, Square One has introduced over 40 highly coveted new retailers to its stellar roster of brands, and this unprecedented growth is set to continue. Having topped $1 billion in sales, Square One continues to be a powerful innovator in Canada’s luxury, retail, and entertainment landscape. One of the most productive shopping centres in North America, Square One boasts a sales per square foot of $1,082 and growing. The 2.2 million square foot retail destination’s $580 million redevelopment is one of the most ambitious projects of its kind in North America and has Square One positioned to be the cornerstone of a connected and thriving city centre—one that inspires the community, maximizes business and living opportunities, and drives the overall growth and development in Mississauga’s downtown core.
