Place d'Orléans is a large shopping mall in the eastern end of Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, in the community of Orléans. The property is about 756,300 square feet (70,262 m²) [http://oxfordproperties.com/Leasing/retailInfo.asp?regID=23&cc=56200] . It currently holds three large department stores (Sportchek, Zellers and The Bay) and about 175 small shops, including a food court. Other prominent shops included the Market Fresh grocery store (The company pulled out of Ontario, due to declining profits, on December 30 2005, now Boathouse and Goodlife Fitness fill the vacated space), and, once the focus of the mall itself, the recently moved Wal-Mart. In early May 2006, Zellers opened a new store in the large retail space vacated by Wal-Mart .

Built in 1979, but having expanded to its current size in 1990 and had its grand (re)opening in August of same year. Place d'Orléans was one of the last enclosed malls built in Canada. Like many of its counterparts in North America, Place d'Orléans has been struggling to survive in the era of the big-box "power centres". Over the years it has seen anchors come and go, such as Eaton's, Woolco , Robinson's and Wal-Mart, which was purchased and replaced by Zellers. Another troubling sign is that Place d'Orléans has taken on non-traditional tenants: a large portion of the second floor has been leased to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP), which may be an indicator of difficulties in attracting and retaining retail companies. The newly-developed shopping area along Innes Road, where Wal-Mart has relocated, as well as the continuous stagnation of St. Joseph Boulevard, has put tremendous pressure on the mall. However, the continued growth of Orléans and the distance between it and other major shopping centres suggest that the mall will continue to be a destination for Orléans shoppers for some time.
