Promenades Saint-Bruno
building in Quebec, Canada
Promenades St-Bruno is a two-level shopping mall located in Saint-Bruno-de-Montarville, Quebec, Canada. It has been the largest mall in the Montérégie ever since its opening in 1978 and was expanded in 1991. Part of its consumer base comes from cities as far as Saint-Hyacinthe and Sorel-Tracy. From 2015 to 2025, it was branded as CF Promenades St-Bruno by previous operator Cadillac Fairview.
The anchor tenants are Simons, Winners, Sports Experts and Avril Supermarché Santé. A public market named Marché des Promenades houses many independent shops. Outside of the shopping mall itself, there is a high presence of big-box stores, restaurants and category killers, some of which are actual tenants of Promenades Saint-Bruno.
History
A Steinberg's supermarket was there between 1978 and 1992, around 50,000 sq ft (4,600 m2). Steinberg's, through Ivanhoe, had owned 25% of the mall and also operated a Miracle Mart store side by side to the supermarket. The latter was renamed to M in August 1986.

Why this record matters
“Promenades Saint-Bruno” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Promenades, Saint-Bruno and building provides the most credible route into that argument.
The strongest evidence will usually combine a dated visual record with documents produced by the authority responsible for the place. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jan 29, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q3407385. Authority coordinates are 45.505, -73.379. 3 of 3 selected statements include explicit references; 1 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1978, 1991, 2015 and 2025.
A single description cannot reconcile every naming convention, rebuilding phase or administrative transfer associated with a place. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
