Carrefour Laval 2024

LAVAL, QUÉBEC (March 28, 2024) – This year, Cadillac Fairview (CF) is proudly celebrating the 50th anniversary of CF Carrefour Laval, a cornerstone of the Laval community and Greater Montréal’s largest enclosed shopping centre.

Opening its doors on March 28, 1974, CF Carrefour Laval has stood the test of time, becoming a beacon of commerce, community, and culture. The journey began with a vision, led by The Fairview Corporation Limited, to build shopping centres in each of the four quadrants of Montréal. CF Carrefour Laval, built in the North, recognized the growth potential of Québec’s economy and the city of Laval.

"Today, we celebrate not just 50 years of retail excellence, but also the vibrant community that CF Carrefour Laval has served for decades," said Sebastien Perron, General Manager, CF Carrefour Laval. "From modest beginnings to becoming the most productive retail destination in Québec, we are immensely proud of the Centre’s journey and the role it has played in the lives of our guests over the years."

Throughout its history, CF Carrefour Laval has been at the forefront of innovation, introducing many retail firsts in the province of Québec. From its inception with major tenants including Eaton's and Simpson's to the addition of anchor stores such as Simons and Rona L'Entrepôt, the Centre has evolved from a 877,000 square foot, 150-store Centre to a dynamic destination. Today, the Centre boasts over 1.2 million square feet of space, with a premium and diverse retail mix of 266 restaurants, services and stores including Apple, Uniqlo, Nike and Alo Yoga.

"When CF Carrefour Laval opened in 1974, Fairview spared no effort in bringing together the finest retailers in a comfortable atmosphere with a goal to transform the shopping experience," said Sal Iacono, President & CEO, Cadillac Fairview. “As the Centre continues to grow and thrive, we remain committed to providing exceptional experiences, fostering vibrant communities, and making a lasting impact for generations to come."

The Centre’s unwavering commitment to providing a comfortable, stimulating, and relaxing atmosphere has also been central to its success. With spacious courtyards, numerous water features, landscaped corridors and storefronts modeled after buildings in Old Montréal, CF Carrefour Laval continues to offer guests a positive shopping experience.
