Shoppers World Danforth

It has 40 stores serving parts of East York, Scarborough and The Beaches, near the Victoria Park subway station.

Most notably a Ford Motor Company assembly plant was built covering the large site at the southwest corner of Danforth and Victoria Park.

Developer Elder Mines (later Peel-Elder) would go on to build a similarly named Shoppers World Brampton mall a few years later.

[3] It was an early Canadian example of what would soon become ubiquitous: the fully enclosed and air conditioned, suburban shopping mall.

[7] The facility covered 300,000 square feet (28,000 m2) and was the primary shopping mall for the entire eastern Greater Toronto Area until supplanted a decade later by Scarborough Town Centre, which opened in May 1973.
