Centre Domaine is small shopping centre located in the Mercier-Hochelaga-Maisonneuve borough of Montreal, Quebec, Canada at the corner of Sherbrooke St. & Langelier Blvd., on Granby Av. It is a two-minute walk from the Langelier métro station and about 1 km from the nearby larger Place Versailles shopping centre. It is currently operated by First Capital Realty. The anchors are Metro Plus and Walmart Canada.

History

It opened in 1959 as a strip mall with anchors Steinberg, Woolworth and a small Zellers store.

In 1976, Centre Domaine was converted as an enclosed mall and expanded by adding anchor store Horizon (a short-lived discount department store from Eaton's).^[1]

Horizon and Zellers closed their doors in 1980. The former Zellers was substituted by Rossy around 1981. Horizon was replaced by Eaton's Bargain (the successor chain of Horizon in the early 80s) until its own closure in 1984.

After an absence of 4 years, Zellers returned to the mall in 1984, this time as an anchor store, assuming the lease of the former Eaton's Bargain store.

In the 1980s, Woolworth was losing ground in Quebec and the store in the mall was shut down.

By 1992, the Steinberg supermarket chain went bankrupt and the store at the mall was sold to Metro Inc., converting the Steinberg store to Metro. The Metro became a Metro Plus after the supermarket expansion in the early 2000s.

In June 2012, Zellers closed and was replaced by Walmart in October 2012.
