Les Promenades Saint-Bruno is a shopping mall built in St-Bruno, Quebec in 1978, making it the youngest of the four "Fashion centres" owned by Cadillac Fairview. As of 2008, its major tenants are The Bay, Sears, Simons and Zellers.

The Bay is the only one left among the five initial anchors, although it moved in to the space that was vacated by Simpsons in 1989, with its original location now being occupied by an expansion anchored by Sears. The expansion opened in 1991.

Les Promenades Saint-Bruno is the only known shopping centre in Quebec that had in its history the three upscale Canadian department stores - Simpsons, The Bay and Eaton - operating at the same time. Like many big shopping centres, Les Promenades Saint-Bruno no longer houses any grocery store.

Les Promenades Saint-Bruno is a two stories mall of 1,084,000 square foot / 100,706.9 m².

They are many stores near the mall such as Toys R Us, Rona L'entrepot, Bureau En Gros, Sears Decor, Wal-Mart, Future Shop,Winners/Homesense and Cineplex Odeon, which officially may or may not be part of Les Promenades Saint-Bruno.

Brief history

A Steinberg supermarket was there between 1978 and 1992, around 50.000 sq. feet. Steinberg, through Ivanhoé, had owned 25 % of the mall and also operated a Miracle Mart/M store side by side to the Steinberg supermarket. Both were replaced by Zellers in 1992.

After The Bay merged Simpsons in 1989, it relocated to the place of the closed Simpsons store and The Bay's old place stayed vacant over one year. Through that former store, a new wing with 40 new boutiques was created and went to a new Sears, opened in early 1991. The size of the mall expanded near 200.000 sq. feet.

In the 90s, bix boxes like Toys R Us arrived around the parking.

Simons picked the first floor of former Eaton's in 2001.
