Shopping malls established in 1972Shopping malls in Toronto

The Galleria Shopping Centre (more commonly known as Galleria Mall) is a shopping centre located at Dufferin and Dupont streets in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. As it is in process of being demolished, only half of the building remains. The shopping centre was a single storey, enclosed (one of only three enclosed shopping centres in the former City of Toronto), and had approximately 50 tenants. It opened in 1972 and had an area of 21,124 m2 (227,380 sq ft). In August 2015 the mall was sold to Freed Developments and ELAD Canada. In September 2019, ELAD took control of the entire project. The site is now undergoing redevelopment.The stores that remain in the portion of the mall left standing include FreshCo supermarket (formerly Price Chopper), Rexall, Planet Fitness, TD Bank, and PetValu. For about two decades the mall was home to a Zellers discount department store. The standalone McDonald's immediately adjacent to Dufferin Street is actually an outparcel tenant of the centre; it will be demolished as well. Planet Fitness announced the opening of a 20,000-square-foot (1,900 m2) gym and fitness centre at the mall in December 2014. It was their first Canadian location.The mall had faced concerns over store closures, depressed footfall, and outdated decor with questions raised over its viability. Shari Kasman made two photobooks about the mall: “Galleria: The Mall That Time Forgot” (2018) and an abridged version called “Goodbye, Galleria” (2019).
