Eastgate Square opened in 1973 with
Woolco,
Eaton's, and Robinson's as its anchors. One of the mall's busiest anchor stores,
Walmart (formerly Woolco), had announced it was relocating to a site roughly 2 kilometres away to 510 Centennial Parkway North at corner of the QEW/South Service Road junction. The new Walmart Supercentre location opened on January 27, 2012. The area vacated by Walmart has been renovated to create a new retail wing, with stores including
Winners,
Dollarama, and
Sport Chek. The new wing opened on August 20, 2013. ==Eastgate Transit Terminal==
