Encyclopedia
Galeries des Sources is an indoor shopping mall
located in the bordering cities of Dorval, Quebec
& Dollard-des-Ormeaux, Quebec, Canada
on Des Sources Blvd. & Quebec Autoroute 40
. It was owned by Ivanhoe from 1966-2000 and its successor Ivanhoe Cambridge
from 2000-02.
Popular stores include SuperC
, Cinemas Guzzo
, Bouclair, Winners, Canadian Tire
and Bureau en Gros. This mall is famous for not having a pharmacy
along with the city's other indoor mall, Le Marché de l'Ouest; it is one of the few malls in the West Island
without a food court
or pharmacy
.
As the mall opened in 1966, its tenants were a Miracle Mart, Consumers Distributing
, Arlington Sports and Steinberg's
. The mall was expanded in 1986, and Steinberg moved out to the expanded space, becoming a Marché Du Jour (later Steinberg Plus in 1988 & Xtra in 1991). In addition, Miracle Mart was renamed M Store, and reducing the space of the store as well, giving part of the former Miracle Mart space to Bouclair. The Steinberg space (not counting Marché Du Jour/Steinberg Plus/Xtra) was left vacant until Canadian Tire
occupied it in 1991. A mechanic centre was built as a result of expansion of the former Steinberg store that time. In 1992, the Xtra store & M Store closed after Steinberg went bankrupt; Super C & Club Biz replaced the former Xtra store. In 1993, the west mall entrance was discontinued in favor of a Coconuts play park (which closed in early 1999; now a dental office & pediatric medical centre). Winners occupied the former M space in 1994, alongside a Club Ultima. Club Ultima closed in 1996, with a 10-screen Cinemas Guzzo occupying the old space in 1998. Club Biz became Bureau en Gros in 1996. Also, Consumers Distributing left the mall in 1996, with its current tenants Corbeil Appliances occupying the first half of it in 1998. The second half was occupied by a Stokes
warehouse store. There is no mall entrance to Cinemas Guzzo. There was no outdoor entrance to Club Ultima, thus the indoor Club Ultima entrance became a Rubino shoes store. The Rubino shoes store moved to the old Stokes warehouse store in the early 2000s, with EconoSport
occupying the old Rubino space, and it is currently used by Benix & Co. In the late 2000s, Bouclair reduced its space, and an Elixir restaurant takes the other half of the former Bouclair space. Following the expansion of Canadian Tire
in 2009, the mall entrance for Canadian Tire was closed, and L'Aubainerie Entrepôt took the old mall entrance.
There are restaurants in this mall with no indoor entrances, including the Bellepros restaurant, Marathon Souvlaki (occupying some of the old M Store space and Jack Astor's.
