i just looked it up Eaton centre opened in 1988 - i remember going shopping there in 1989 and you had to walk down to kingsway to get to the mall next door - it wasn't until 1991 ish that they built the connector - I worked at superstore in metrotown in 1991-1992 and i can remember them building the connector - before that it was painful to go from one mall to another - Eaton centre was always better though - it had the better stores
Brettons was nice - it was high end - apparently it was owned by a family company from the netherlands - which still operates in Europe - they had big plans for Canada but really got the runaround here and couldn't succeed - it was too bad - it was sort of a mix between the bay and holt renfrew - only clothes basically - no home or furniture stuff - something we totally lack today in the retail world
