Could Holt Renfrew Open at Mississauga’s Square One?

Holt Renfrew is in talks with Oxford Properties to open a store at Mississauga’s Square One Shopping Centre. Negotiations have been ongoing for several years, according to a source at Holt Renfrew head office. This store would replace Holt Renfrew’s current Sherway Gardens store. 

Negotiations with landlord Cadillac Fairview for an enlarged Holt Renfrew store at Sherway Gardens have been unsuccessful and Oxford has jumped in to lure Holt’s away from Sherway into a newly renovated Square One Shopping Centre. 

In July 2012 we reported on Holt Renfrew’s expanding its Sherway Gardens store to 102,000 square feet. It appears we may have published this information in haste, given the now-stalled negotiations. 

The Globe & Mail reported Sunday evening on Holt’s potential Square One move. The link to this Globe & Mail article can be found [here]. 

While researching for this article, we found this online petition to add Holt Renfrew to Square One. So far it only appears to have seven signatures…
We will update readers as we learn more of Holt Renfrew’s possible relocation in the Western Greater Toronto Area.
