More than 81,000 shoppers visited Vaughan Mills on grand opening day and more than 300,000 visited over the course of grand opening weekend, exceeding all projections and expectations.
Less than seven weeks after its grand opening on November 4, 2004, Vaughan Mills welcomed its two millionth customer. The innovative 1.2 million-square-foot shopping centre is the first enclosed shopping centre to open in Canada in 14 years, and one of the largest shopping and entertainment destinations in the region.
The two millionth shopper milestone comes less than seven weeks after Vaughan Mills witnessed one of the most successful grand openings of any Mills Centre in North America.
Vaughan Mills boasts Canada's first Hudson's Bay Company's designer Depot, Town Shoes Outlet, Tommy Bahama Outlet, and Benetton Outlet. With an emphasis on value retail, Vaughan Mills also features many of the fashion names Canadian consumers already know and love. Among them, the largest Tommy Hilfiger Outlet in the world.
Other major anchor stores include H&M (Hennes & Mauritz), La Senza/La Senza Girl, Linens 'N Things, Urban Behavior, The Children's Place Outlet, and Winners and Home Sense.
