Georgian Mall originally opened in 1968 with Sears as its only department store and Dominion as a supermarket. Next door in a separate development was a free-standing K-mart department store. The first major expansion added a single floor Eaton's as anchor to a new two-level mall addition. (when Eaton's went bankrupt this space was divided into Sport Chek and Home Sense.) The next addition connected the mall to the K-mart building. Kmart was later converted to The Bay.[2] Another former anchor was Sears, which was closed in January 2018.[3]
