History
Target at Centerpoint, opened in 2013 and closed in 2015

Centerpoint Mall was known as Towne and Countrye Square at its grand opening in the 1960s until the name change in 1990[3]. In 1966, the mall began with anchors Sayvette, Miracle Mart, and Super City Discount Foods. The Super City (later Loblaws) store was torn down and rebuilt as a Zellers. The Sayvette chain went defunct in 1975 and was converted to Woolco. Woolco closed and the store and was converted to Super Centre, then to Loblaws, then to No Frills. Miracle Mart was converted to Canadian Tire. The Zellers was closed in 2012 when the Zellers leasehold was purchased by Target; the location was closed for about a year before reopening as Target on 19 March 2013. In early 2015, all Target stores across Canada closed. A Lowe's home improvement store opened in the former Target store in late November 2016,[4] but it had closed by the end of February 2019.[5] A Canada Computers store has now been open since 18 November 2019 in the former Lowe's store.[6] With 59,004.7 square metres (635,121 sq ft) of retail space, it is one of the largest malls in Toronto.
