Unicity Mall

Unicity Mall

Unicity Mall was the name of a now defunct shopping mall in Winnipeg, Canada named for the 1972 Unicity restructuring of city management. Originally known as Unicity Fashion Square when it opened in September of 1975, the mall was anchored by a Woolco (a chain that itself no longer exists) and The Bay, and was one of only three malls in the city (along with Polo Park and Grant Park Shopping Centre.) Managed by Trizec Corp. the mall initially prospered despite one wing being almost completely empty. The food court's McDonald's was the first placed inside a mall in western Canada.

In the mid 1980s the local economy was slowing down and the mall began losing tenants. By the 1990s it was mostly empty and the vacated spaces were used for temporary flea markets. Ownership was transferred to First Pro and the mall was subsequently demolished in 2000 and replaced with a Smart!Centres big box complex.
