Seaway Mall is an enclosed shopping mall in Welland, Ontario, Canada. The mall has 500,000 square feet (46,000 m2) of space and includes tenants such as Sport Chek, Cineplex Entertainment, Winners and Shoppers Drug Mart. Seaway Mall opened on April 23, 1975 with anchor stores Woolco, Kmart, Miracle Food Mart, a movie theater and 60 other stores. An expansion in the late 1980s added a Sears store, which opened in 1989. Around this time, the Miracle Food Mart was sold to A&P Canada, and the Seaway Mall store was shuttered. This space was eventually converted into a new mall wing, which features a Bulk Barn, and Dollarama, formerly (now defunct) discount store Bi Way. In the late 1990s, both of the mall's discount department stores changed their names. Woolco was converted into a Walmart, and Kmart was converted into a Zellers after Kmart exited the Canadian retail market. In the 2000s, chain stores such as Claire’s began to leave the mall for more upscale malls such as The Pen Centre. Walmart relocated to a larger building east of Seaway Mall in 2006. Zellers relocated into the former Walmart space, while the former Kmart/Zellers store was reconfigured into several smaller stores, such as Winners and Shoppers Drug Mart. Target bought the lease to the mall's Zellers store, along with many other Zellers stores across the country during its expansion into Canada. Target opened its doors in the summer of 2013. With the opening of Target, this made Seaway Mall one of the few Canadian malls to have featured three very large discount department stores from the United States: Walmart, Target and Kmart, operating in the same mall at different points in time. In October 2012, a large Sport Chek opened up in the mall near Sears, which shuttered many smaller stores. In January 2015, Target announced it had filed for bankruptcy, and would discontinue all Canadian operations. Target closed its doors on April 1, 2015, leaving a vacancy in the mall's largest department store space. This was followed by the closure of the mall's Sears on September 30, 2015.
