An eyesore now but it was ahead of its time for Rimouski when it opened more than 50 years ago. It was Canada's first mall built on pillars and Eastern Quebec's first shopping mall. It had Rimouski's only escalator that would take you from the ground level parkade underneath it to the raised mall which had 2 main wings shaped like a T, anchor tenants and a food court.
It was
the shopping mall in Eastern Quebec until you guessed it the construction of the larger Carrefour Rimouski, who helped to start its decline.
