Shoppers World has been poised for a major makeover for some time. It was built in the 1970s as Brampton’s first indoor mall, and while the city’s other malls — like Bramalea City Centre — have seen major renovations, Shoppers has remained just about the same.

Earlier this year the property owner RioCan announced intentions to redevelop the area and bring in 1,500 residential units, commercial space and more. While that development is still in its early stages, there are more immediate changes are coming to the mall.

Three new stores are taking over the massive amounts of retail space left empty by Target’s departure: a new GoodLife location, European furniture store JYSK, Giant Tiger and Staples will all be taking a piece of the space which is currently under construction.

Staples already has an existing store in the mall and is in the midst of planning its move to the new spot a few doors down.

An official opening date hasn’t been announced for the stores yet, save for GoodLife which is slated to open in late December. Construction remains ongoing.

In other news, Shoppers World is about to get a new loose leaf tea shop, set to open later this month.
