Place Rosemère began modestly when it first opened in August 1975 with approximately 65 stores at 337,000 square feet anchored by Woolco, Beaver Lumber and Dominion.[4] The Hudson's Bay Company had planned a La Baie store for the ianguration of the mall,[4] but nothing ever came out of this announcement and it's only on March 13, 1991, that it opened at Place Rosemère.[5]

Dominion was acquired by Provigo on June 15, 1981[6] and Woolco by Wal-Mart in 1995.[7]

The mall was purchased by Morguard in late 1986.[8]

A first expansion, opened in 1991, brought to the mall to 90 stores along with the newly opened La Baie store of 140,000 square feet.[9][8] The mall itself reached 605,677 square feet and almost doubled its floor area.[8] This expansion also relocated the Canadian Tire store into the new section.

Another expansion, opened on September 19, 2002, brought the mall to its current size and layout as Wal-Mart relocated to a new location earlier in February 2002 and a new Sears store moved to the old Wal-Mart store.[9] This expansion coincided with the closing of two other anchor stores when Canadian Tire moved to a standalone location across the street and Provigo, one of the last supermarkets to be located in a Canadian regional mall, closed its doors. Some smaller stores took the place of the old Canadian Tire store, and Zara, Pharmaprix and Dormez-Vous took the place of the old Provigo store.

A new Best Buy store opened on November 13, 2008.[10]
