Lansdowne Place is a shopping mall located in Peterborough, Ontario, Canada. Opened in 1980, the mall has over 105 stores and services. It is located at 645 Lansdowne Street West in the city's south end.

History[]

On 26 August 1954, Simpsons-Sears opened a store on what was then the outskirts of the city surrounded by farmer's fields and St. Peter's Cemetery. The store was designed by John B. Parkin. Simpsons-Sears, later known as Sears Canada, attracted more businesses to Lansdowne Street eventually establishing it as the commercial hub of the city.[2] One year later, Loblaws opened nearby and the City announced a $2-million shopping centre at the site. This would not be realized until 1980.[3][1]

The mall was substantially renovated and expanded in 2009 adding 160,000 square-feet of shopping space and opening 40 new stores.[4]

Sears closed on 14 January 2018 after 64 years in operation.[5][6] Sears Canada sold the building to Lansdowne Place in 2018 and it was demolished in 2020.[7] An expansion of the mall is being built in its place.[8][9]

Retailers[]

The mall currently has two anchors, Sport Chek and Real Canadian Superstore. Other retailers include H&M, Old Navy, American Eagle Outfitters, Dollarama, and Sephora.[1]
