Fleur de Lys centre commercial (formerly and still commonly called Place Fleur de Lys) is a shopping mall located in the Vanier borough of Quebec City, Quebec, Canada built in 1963.[1] It is located across from L'Institut de réadaptation en déficience physique de Québec and close to the Videotron Centre. It is anchored by Walmart and Maxi.[1] The mall is access by Quebec Autoroute 973 and Quebec Route 138 via boulevard Wilfrid-Hamel.
Place Fleur de Lys opened on March 21, 1963, with anchors Simpsons-Sears (Sears), Steinberg and Zellers.[2] Place Fleurs de Lys is notable for having the first ever Sears department store in the province of Quebec.[3] This two level 140,000 square foot anchor space was the first French-speaking department store from the Toronto-based Simpsons-Sears Ltd.[4]
On October 17, 1968, S.S. Kresge Co Ltée opened a Kmart store.[5] As with Sears five years earlier, the Kmart at Place Fleurs de Lys was the first in the province.[5]
In March 1980, Place Fleur de Lys expanded from 650 000 square feet to 850 000 to reach 170 stores including a new Pascal hardware store.[6] After Pascal closed, its former space of 75 000 square feet was converted into another mall expansion of 145 000 square feet anchored by a single level The Bay store which opened on October 7, 1992.[7]
Kmart closed on May 31, 1995, and the Zellers in the mall relocated in its space.[8]Target acquired the lease of Zellers and opened a store at Fleur de Lys on October 18, 2013, as part of the retailer's second wave of openings in Quebec.[9] On May 8, 2015, Walmart bought the lease of the former Target store.[10]
Primaris REIT completed its acquisition of Fleurs de Lys on July 20, 2005.[11] The mall was later managed by 20 VIC Management.[12] On August 15, 2017, Cushman & Wakefield announced it would acquire 20 VIC Management and the transaction was completed the following month in September, bringing Fleurs de Lys to its portfolio.[13][1]
Sears lasted until the end of the chain on January 14, 2018.[14]
In July 2018, the Fleurs de Lys shopping mall was purchased by Trudel Alliance from KingSett Capital for $60 million.[15] The acquisition happened in a time when the shopping mall had to deal with large vacant anchor spaces left by the departures of both Sears and Hudson's Bay.[16] The new owners have since began the process of redeveloping the mall.[15] The UQTR set up a campus for 6,000 students in the former Sears store.[17]Hart also opened a store within the former Sears building.[18] Hudson's Bay was replaced by Jysk, Dollarama and another local business.[19][20] An entire section of the mall was razed between the Sports Experts store and the former Sears building in 2021–2022.[21] Trudel has announced that it plans to build several residential towers on the site of the shopping mall, with one of the buildings already in construction as of 2023.[17]
