[4] With its 1,348,381 square feet (125,268.7 m2), Galeries de la Capitale is the largest shopping mall in Quebec City, the second in the province after Carrefour Laval and the ninth in Canada.

In 1994, Woolco was converted to Wal-Mart as part of the American parent company's entrance to Canada with the official inauguration of that location being celebrated on November 22 although the store had already been opened to the public for many months.

[8] In early 2002, Wal-Mart left Galeries de la Capitale to move on the nearby parking, allowing its former space in the mall to be replaced on July 13 of the same year by rival Zellers, itself relocating from a previous address in the Neufchâtel neighborhood.

[9] When Eaton's was downsizing in 1997, the location at Galeries de la Capitale was among the 31 stores nationwide the company had considered closing down in the same vein as other Quebec outlets at Carrefour Angrignon, Cavendish Mall, Beloeil and Gatineau.

[2] In June 2013, Oxford Properties and Canada Pension Plan each acquired 50% of Galeries de la Capitale and the former took on the management duties of the shopping mall.

[19][20] Target closed in 2015 and Simons doubled its size to 80,000 square feet by relocating to that location in March 2018 and the rest of the vacant space was subdivided by nine smaller retailers.

[4] In 2016, The Bay received a major facelift and new retailers such as Urban Planet, Sephora, Old Navy, Browns Shoes and the only Mountain Equipment Company store in Quebec City opened.

[3] In 2023, Zellers made a comeback to Galeries de la Capitale this time as a small department within the Hudson's Bay store of the same shopping mall.
