Reconstruction along the roads East and South of Shoppers World, Brampton has caused numerous traffic delays over the past year. The reconstruction is scheduled for completion in the near future. Recent renovations have also been performed on the mall.
The site of Shopper's World was a farmer's field purchased by Charles Watson of Peel Elder Ltd., and was developed by Peel Elder Ltd., the developer of the Brampton's Peel Village community. It opened in 1969 as Brampton's first indoor mall. Major tenants at the time were Kmart, Dominion and Canada Safeway.
There has been a recent massive renovation of the shopping complex, causing a new wave of customers to come in and a new generation's interest to be piqued. It is also notable that Shoppers World Brampton is home to some of Brampton's oldest family-operated businesses.
The addition of a Canadian Tire big-box store to the Main Street side of the mall greatly changed the facade of the mall. Many smaller stores were moved or closed to allow for the addition of this additional anchor store. Staples Business Depot, another big-box format store, also moved in to the mall in the locations previously held by Winners and Fabricland.
