Place Versailles

Place Versailles is a shopping mall located at the corner of Sherbrooke Street East and Highway 25 in the Mercier–Hochelaga-Maisonneuve borough of Montreal, Quebec, Canada.

[11][12] Miracle Mart at Place Versailles was rebranded under the M brand name on August 19, 1987; one of the last stores in Montreal to transition to the new nameplate.

[15] Except for three other locations, the vast majority of the Pascal's chain had already shuttered by the time the Place Versailles store closed.

[20] The Bay's anchor space has since been dismantled by Winners/Homesense, Globo, Style Exchange (today Urban Depot), Safari, Sports Experts, Dollarama and McDonald's.

[23] Target did not want the former Zellers entrance that connected directly to Place Versailles' food court and, as a result, it was replaced by a graphic water fountain that the mall claims on its website to be the first in North America.

[25] On June 1, 2024, it was reported in La Presse that Place Versailles is expected to be demolished in the coming years and be replaced with condo buildings that can be able to accommodate more than 5,000 people, a school, and a hotel.

[28] It was then later reported in CBC News that only 516,000 square feet, corresponding to slightly under 30% of the mall’s current surface area, would remain for commercial use once the demolition and construction work is completed.

[31] In 2017, the mall faced criticism for promoting their Santa Claus' arrival to be on November 11, which is when Remembrance Day is observed in Canada.

Their Santa Claus was scheduled to make his entrance via helicopter and due to logistical concerns beyond the mall's control, his arrival could not be rescheduled to a different day.
