Retail Insider’s series of Mall Tours heads to Cadillac Fairview’s CF Toronto Eaton Centre in downtown Toronto during the month of October 2020. Craig and Lee provide commentary on what’s happening at the mall in a tour showcasing what’s open, a bit of history on the centre and what has closed recently prior to the Christmas season.

CF Toronto Eaton Centre is located in downtown Toronto and prior to COVID-19, it was the busiest shopping centre in North America with almost 54 million annual visitors. The four-level shopping centre is anchored by a Nordstrom store at its north end as well as Hudson’s Bay and Saks Fifth Avenue at its south end. CF Toronto Eaton Centre has more than 235 retailers spanning more than 2-million square feet.

1 COMMENT

  1. I heard, the Toronto Eaton Centre was built to resemble a ship with masts and sails at each end represented by the towers. There used to be “port holes” along the Yonge St. frontage but are now covered up with new building facades.
