Place Sainte-Foy originated in November 1957 with only a Steinberg supermarket and evolved into the shopping centre that inaugurated a year later on November 27, 1958.[2][3] It was built and managed by Ivanhoe Corporation.[2][4] Initially a strip mall, Place Sainte-Foy was enclosed in 1964, becoming Ivanhoe's first shopping centre to convert.[5] From 2004 to 2012, Place Sainte-Foy was owned in equal proportions by Ivanhoé Cambridge and Commerzbank AG (Commerz Real) of Germany.[6][7] Ivanhoé Cambridge continued to be manager of the mall during those years.[6]
There have been a number of prominent department stores throughout the mall's history. A new Eaton store opened around September 1975 and lasted until the demise of the chain in 1999.[8][9] Eaton was located where is today the Maurice Tanguay furniture store which moved to Place Ste-Foy in 2001 from an existing location in Quebec City.[10] Holt Renfrew was in the shopping mall for 50 years, from 1965 to 2015.[11] There was also a Miracle Mart in the mall starting in the 1960s that later became a M store.[12][13] Les Ailes de la Mode selected Place Sainte-Foy to open a store in 1997 that eventually closed around 2014-2015.[14][15] Simons has been at Place Sainte-Foy since 1961 and doubled its size in 2007.[16]
