The demise of the Eaton's company in 1999 resulted in the sale of the mall to the city, which renamed it the Guelph Centre.
The remaining portion of the Eaton Centre became The Old Quebec Street Shoppes & Office Suites, which opened in 2003.
The distinctive interior design has a high skylight roof, exposed bricks, and decorations of wrought iron window boxes and banners surrounding it to create an historic atmosphere[5] influenced by the old limestone and brick buildings commonly found in downtown Guelph.
It is meant to resemble the old Quebec Street with outdoor store fronts before the original Eaton Centre was built.
The building's West Parkade is a fee-based visitor parking,[6] and visitors may also access the mall by public transportation, including the many bus stops on Wyndham Street facing the mall's main entrance, and the nearby Guelph Bus Terminal.
