Mayfair Shopping Centre is a mall located in Victoria, British Columbia.
Mayfair, one of the first major shopping centres in Victoria, first opened as an outdoor strip mall on October 16, 1963 with 27 stores.[1][2] It was built on the site of a former brickyard in the Maywood district, a then-semi-rural area in the northern part of Victoria.[2][3] Woodward's was Mayfair's original department store anchor upon the mall's opening.[2][4]
Mayfair was enclosed and renovated into an indoor mall in 1974.[5][6] The mall underwent three later expansions in 1984 (with the addition of Consumers Distributing), 1985 (expansion of the mall food court) and a major expansion in 1990 that saw the addition of more retail space.[5] The Bay (now Hudson's Bay) replaced Woodward's as Mayfair's department store anchor in 1993 following Hudson's Bay Company's acquisition of the Woodward's chain.[7]
Mayfair now offers more than 120 stores and services including Hudson's Bay and Toys "R" Us. It has 409,316 square feet (38,026.7 m2) of retail space and it also provides customers with rooftop parking.
