It is located on Overlea Boulevard in the Thorncliffe Park neighbourhood.

The shopping centre was opened to the public in 1960 as the Thorncliffe Market Place in the town of Leaside.

Woolco opened in the space where Sayvette previously occupied.

Zellers went in liquidation and closed in June 2012, making way for Target's entry into the Canadian market.

[citation needed] In 2021, the former Target location was used as a pop-up vaccine clinic during the COVID-19 pandemic in Toronto.
