[12][13] The following year, the mall underwent a $21 million renovation that included a 160,000 square feet (15,000 m2) expansion, 60 new retailers, a new food court, a movie theatre, and a new interior, which was completed on October 17, 1985.
[citation needed] On March 14, 2007, First Capital Realty acquired the mall for $70 million in cash with immediate plans to demolish a non-functioning portion of the mall between Zellers and Shoppers Drug Mart to make room for The Home Depot's first in-fill store in Edmonton, which opened in November 2008.
[19][20] On October 19, 2022, Walmart closed after the company announced in July 2021 that it would be relocating the Westmount Centre location to Kingsway Mall.
[21][22] In May 2024, Westmount Centre gave 30-day end of tendency notices to stores located on one side of the hallway between Safeway and Smitty’s in the southeast portion of the mall.
No official explanation was given but several tenants believed that recent leaks from the roof above the abandoned theatre complex on the second floor was the cause.
