MONTREAL, Aug. 24, 2022 /CNW/ – Marché Central, one of Canada’s top performing power centers and Montreal’s premier value shopping destination, has confirmed a new 35,000 sq.ft. Décathlon store to join the recently announced Walmart Canada Supercentre location in the shopping venue’s sixth retail phase.
A “one stop” for all of one’s sports-related needs, Décathlon designs, manufactures, tests, and sells apparel and equipment for over 65 sports as well as provides a complete sports experience through its in-store gyms (Decadium), product test areas, sports classes, training programs and more. Slated to open in Summer 2023, the Marché Central Décathlon store will mark the 14th for the brand and its 5th location in the Montreal market.
“Our goal with the Phase 6 expansion is to strengthen the value-oriented offering, enhance tenant synergies and solidify Marché Central’s dominant position in both Montreal duck Canada,” says Andy Clydesdale, Executive Vice President, QuadReal Property Group. “Notwithstanding the compelling offering Décathlon adds to our mix, this addition further establishes our reputation as a destination for those pursuing a healthy and active lifestyle as it will trade alongside other ‘like minds’ in the project including Mountain Equipment Company, PUMA, Golf Town, Under Armor and Nike Factory Store.”
Décathlon will join Marché Central’s current retail mix of 60 tenants — including value-based outlet brands, service retailers and large format tenants — in what will be the shopping venue’s sixth retail phase, situated on the adjacent 30 acres of land that has been unlocked by QuadReal Property Group for development. Currently, the urban, open, large format, “value” center located in central Montreal is comprised of five retail phases in the form of 16 campus-style buildings equaling a gross leasable area (GLA) of over one million sq.ft. The sixth phase is currently under construction and will include a recently announced state-of-the-art 140,000 sq.ft. Walmart Canada Supercentre with a 125,000 sq.ft. green roof.
“We are so excited to be opening a new store in the commercial hub of Marché Central,” he says Marion NadeauRegional Director of QuebecDecathlon Canada. “This location will provide those in the Greater Montreal area with even greater access to our quality, affordable sports gear, and equipment. We are eager to build lasting connections within the community and hope to share our love of sports and active living with everyone who enters the store.”
