Virtually untouched by the ongoing decline of indoor malls, it typically ranks among the top shopping centres in Quebec for its number of visitors as well as sales per square foot and has been home to many retail firsts in the province.

The mall has three anchor stores: Hudson's Bay, Simons and Rona L'Entrepôt.

The consortium announced that a 150-store mall would be built on a 20,000,000-square-foot (1,900,000 m2) property next to the Laurentian Autoroute, subject to the construction of the necessary infrastructure by the newly formed city of Laval.

[4] Construction was intended to start in 1971[5] but the project had been delayed after a zoning bylaw proposed by mayor Jacques Tétreault, that would effectively have given the Carrefour Laval consortium a monopoly over the development of the proposed downtown core of Laval, was challenged by the opposition and by members of his own party who founded his idea to be discriminatory and too restrictive towards other businesses.

Additionally, it is served by public transit via the STL, which has its EXO bus terminal located across from the mall, with bus service that connects to the Montreal Metro (via the terminus of the orange line in Laval).
