Pickering Town Centre (PTC) is a large regional shopping mall located in Pickering, Ontario, Canada. Opened in 1972 as Pickering Sheridan Mall, the mall has over 150 stores.
History
The mall opened in 1972 as the Sheridan Mall with 80 stores. Its first major renovations were in 1998.
The PTC underwent a $17 million renovation through 2008 and 2009. This included new floors, ceilings, lighting and seating areas. It has a modern look and features an additional elevator.
On the morning of November 28, 2016, the Pickering Town Centre was flooded with water, causing a closure of the majority of the lower level stores, as well as Santa's Castle. The cause of flooding was due to a broken water main. Most stores had reopened by December 1, 2016.
Following the closure of Target Canada in 2015, in 2017, the former Target store at the mall was replaced by 3 new stores, a Saks Fifth Avenue OFF 5TH outlet store, Cineplex Cinemas 11 and VIP movie theater and a Farm Boy food market. There are also redevelopment plans for the former Famous Players movie theater and a Sears department store (under demolition to be replaced by condos) at the mall. In 2018 new stores were added such as Winners/HomeSense and a Hakim Optical store.
