History

Expansions

In the spring of 1968 a $7.5 million expansion of Polo Park was completed. The addition brought a three-storey Eaton's department store to the mix. With this add-on, Polo Park became the second largest shopping centre in Canada at the time.In 1986, the mall underwent a $75 million renovation that added a second level to the building. This addition was panned by downtown Winnipeg merchants, who voiced their objections to the plan at city council meetings in 1984; however, city council approved the expansion. The expanded shopping centre opened in mid-August 1986.Another expansion took place in 2007, which added 20,000 square feet (1,900 m2). The cost of this addition was $30 million.A new $49-million expansion to Polo Park opened October 1, 2014 in the former Zellers space on the mall's second level. The redeveloped space included 114,000 square feet of retail space and 17 new stores.Polo Park has also added new retail complexes which are located on properties adjacent to the north of the mall. Polo North is located on the site of the former Winnipeg Arena, while The Plaza at Polo Park is being developed on the former Canad Inns Stadium grounds.
