History

[edit]

Woodgrove Centre opened in 1981 with Eaton's and Woodward's as its tenants. Woodward's filed for bankruptcy in 1993 and the space was taken over by The Bay. Eaton's closed in 1999 following bankruptcy. In 2000, the mall was expanded from 530,000 square feet to 724,713. The Bay moved to the former Eaton's location. The old Bay/Woodward's space was demolished for a Wal-Mart location which opened on July 11, 2002 after the Country Club Centre location closed the previous day.

On September 1, 2020, Weihong Liu of Central Walk bought the property from Ivanhoe Cambridge.
