It inaugurated around the same time as its original tenant Super Carnaval which opened on January 23, 1985. From the late 1980s and up until 2010, the mall was called Mail Carnaval and was named after Super Carnaval (today Super C).

Mail Carnaval was once an indoor shopping centre. A Jean Coutu pharmacy was one of the first tenants in the 1980s, but soon moved out. Tenants that once made business at Mail Carnaval include a Famous Players movie theatre, the National Bank of Canada and a Zellers department store.

As of 2002, Mail Carnaval gradually began losing its small tenants and was on its way to become a dead mall. In the summer of 2007, the last small tenants left the mall. The mall's indoor corridor was demolished in 2009. Shortly after Zellers closed in May 2010, the name of the mall was changed from Mail Carnaval to 5000 Taschereau Boulevard; it has since been rechristened to Complexe 5mille. As of 2024, only Super C, Éconofitness, Michaels, and relocated L'Équipeur and Winners stores from nearby Place Greenfield Park are in operation. Due to the demolition of the indoor mall section in 2009, Super C's building is physically separated from the rest of the tenants.

Galeries Taschereau

Galeries Taschereau is a strip mall that was an enclosed mall until 2002. Previously managed by Cambridge Leaseholds, it is now operated by Sandalwood Management. The mall served as the city council of the city of Greenfield Park until the late 1990s.

The major tenants are Fruiterie 440, Hart, L'Aubainerie, Marché du Store, and warehouses of both Pennington and Taylor. Joining them are two restaurants (Amir and Subway), a Buzzfit Gym, and a few smaller enterprises including a hairdresser (P&J Coiffure), a cellphone repair enterprise (UBreakIFix), and a marijuana market selling pot-culture paraphernalia.

Galeries Taschereau was anchored at its opening in late 1973 by A&P Canada, Greenberg and Horizon. In early 1979, Eaton's changed the vocation of the Horizon location by turning it into a Foyerama furniture store. An expansion in 1983 increased the size of the mall to and tripled its number of tenants to 60 anchors and shops including a new Zellers store which replaced the Eaton's (Foyerama) store. It was a significantly smaller than contemporary Zellers stores and it closed around 1987. Hart, Le Château warehouse occupy and a recently vacated Village des Valeurs occupy the space where this Zellers stood. It had no connection to the Zellers store that later opened in 1990 at Mail Carnaval.

In February 2020, Village des Valeurs left its location at Galeries Tachereau it had occupied since 1991, to relocate to other side the street on Auguste Avenue. Other past tenants include Provigo (which replaced A&P in 1984 and is now the Fruiterie 440), Future Shop, Bouclair and Bank of Montreal.

Opened as an indoor mall in 1965, Place Greenfield was the first enclosed shopping centre in the South Shore of Montreal but was converted to the strip format in 2001. For some 40 years, the shopping centre was under the management of Ivanhoe Corporation (today Ivanhoé Cambridge). In September 2002, Ivanhoé Cambridge sold the mall to RioCan.

Its space was later occupied by a Club Biz office supply store from October 29, 1992, until that chain filed for bankruptcy protection and closed in early 1996. Like the rest of Club Biz locations, the lease was acquired by Bureau en Gros which inaugurated its store on June 1, 1996, a few days after opening its door to the public.

Leon's opened a store on January 7, 1988. It essentially replaced the Miracle Mart store that had closed in 1986. In October 2007, Leon's left its location in the mall and moved to the intersection of Chambly Road and Autoroute 30 in the St-Hubert borough of Longueuil. After being for much of the 2010s either a Ha Bay furniture store or a Le Grand Marché Rive-Sud flea market, the space was subdivided in 2017 by Jysk, Univers Kids Dépôt and a portion of Giant Tiger. Jysk opened on June 3, 2017.

Pascal's at Place Greenfield Park closed in late July 1991, outliving by a few weeks most of the chain's other locations. Along with the stores at Place Versailles and Quebec City, it was one of the three final Pascal's locations to close which concluded the history of the 87-year-old hardware chain. Goineau-Bousquet, a hardware retailer from Laval announced in late 1991 that it would set up a store in the former Pascal's site in Greenfield Park. Goineau-Bousquet filed for bankruptcy protection on June 3, 1996, and, in the process, announced the closing of its Greenfield Park location, effective for the end of July. On October 22, 1998, Cinémas Guzzo opened biggest movie theater in the country combined with a recreational mix of arcade games, bumper cars and a carousel.

In mid-1992, the Steinberg grocery store rebranded as Provigo which in turn was converted to Maxi within the year.

Winners opened a store of on August 17, 1995. It replaced the majority of the Wise store which had closed only months before. Wise had been with Place Greenfield Park since the shopping centre's debut in 1965, originating as a small tenant in the mall, and later relocating as an anchor store at 391 Taschereau since at least the year 1990. Winners left Place Greenfield Park around 2019-2020.

In early August 1980, Calgary-based Mark's Work Wearhouse entered the Montreal market under the name La Ouerasse with the opening of four stores including one at Place Greenfield Park near the corner of Gladstone Avenue. La Ouerasse switched name to L'Équipeur in 1990. L'Équipeur expanded in September 1996 as a store of of floor space in the same shopping centre, becoming the chain's largest location in Quebec. L'Équipeur left Place Greenfield Park around 2016 and has been replaced by a relocated Dollarama. This is not the first time Dollarama is occupying a former premise of L'Équipeur in this shopping centre. Dollarama's previous location (which is now much of the Giant Tiger store) was where used to be L'Équipeur prior to its relocation in 1996.

Carrefour St-Hubert is a strip mall located at the intersection of Cousineau Blvd and Gaetan-Boucher Blvd. It is owned by First Capital REIT. The major tenants are Super C, Jean Coutu, Dollarama, CIBC, McDonald's and SAQ Sélection.

The mall's tenants were initially connected to one building, with the exception of a small building that held Quiznos Subs and SAQ Express. From the late 2000s to mid-2010s, various renovations has been made to the mall that brought up a new large building housing new and relocated tenants such as Dollarama, RE/MAX and selected social services. As well various outside buildings such as a large one housing Super C, replacing Maxi (previously Provigo) from the old structure as the mall's supermarket, one for the relocated SAQ Express, which got converted into the larger SAQ Sélection, one for McDonald's, taking over the former Quiznos and SAQ leases, and two small buildings housing smaller tenants, including a relocated Quiznos. Despite also being renovated, Jean Coutu and Nettoyeur Champlain remain the only tenants to not be relocated within the mall. CIBC, which was physically detached from the large building following the demolition of the former Dollarama lease, retained the old building's structure until it got demolished and the bank then relocated to a new building next to Super C.

Centre Cousineau

Centre Cousineau (also called Centre Cousineau Point-Zero since 2010) is located at the intersection of Cousineau Blvd and Montée Saint-Hubert. It is managed and owned by Enterprises Point-Zéro, a company best known for its clothing lineup Point-Zéro. The major anchor tenants are Jean Coutu and Metro Plus. From 1997 to 2010, the mall housed the public library of Saint-Hubert.

Centre Cousineau has its origins in the 1960s as a nameless strip mall that corresponds today to the section of the mall that faces Montée Saint-Hubert. In 1978, the strip mall was converted into the current indoor mall. It was first named Galeries Cousineau in 1978, then renamed Complexe Cousineau in 1987, and finally Centre Cousineau in 2006.

The mall was at its peak in the 1980s, with a total of 75 stores including anchors Rona, Greenberg, Sports Experts, Croteau, Jean Coutu and Metro. Its office building was home to a CLSC and many Saint-Hubert municipal services.

Centre Cousineau began to lose ground in the 1990s. By the mid-2000s, it had all but been turned into a dead mall, with retailing chains such as La Source, Société des alcools du Québec and Petland having closed in addition to the many small businesses. To add to the injury, a fire in 2007 destroyed La Crémière, a fast food and ice cream store, and the Jean-Coutu pharmacy, causing the permanent closure of the former and relocation of the latter. Lack of proper insurance coverage caused the mall to be partially barricaded for a number of years without renovation.

In 2009, Entreprises Point-Zéro acquired Centre Cousineau. It made significant improvements to the anchor stores, including renovating extensively their exterior facades. The rest of the centre however continued to be deserted. As of late September 2018, the few indoors tenants that were left relocated to the outdoor section on Montée Saint-Hubert. The mall's doors have all been permanently locked with the lights turned off. Only its two anchor stores on Cousineau Blvd. and a handful of small tenants on the strip mall section facing Montée Saint-Hubert survive.

Plaza Actuel is a strip mall located at the intersection of Cousineau Blvd and Gaetan-Boucher Blvd. It is owned by First Capital REIT. The major tenants are Énergie Cardio, Bell, TD Canada Trust, RBC Banque Royale, St-Hubert and Le Grenier.

The western building was occupied by a General Motors car dealership, which closed in 2009, and then used as a temporary site of for the 2009 swine flu pandemic vaccine. In 2010, small tenants, as well as Bell and Énergie Cardio, both moving from smaller strip malls, start occuping the newly renovated lease of the former car dealership. Pizza Hut close its door and its building then got demolished to build to two small buildings next to each other, housing TD and RBC respectively.

Le Vieux-Longueuil

Centre Jacques-Cartier

Centre Jacques-Cartier is a small shopping mall located in Le Vieux-Longueuil borough of Longueuil, Quebec. The mall is made of approximately 45 stores occupying of rentable space. It is located at the intersection of Chambly Road and Ste-Foy Boulevard

Successor Ivanhoé Cambridge owned the mall until September 2002. After this, the mall was managed by RioCan which co-owned it with another company . It is now owned and operated by Toronto-based Strathallen Capital.

Place Desormeaux

Place Desormeaux is a shopping mall located in Longueuil, Quebec, Canada at the corner of Chambly Road and Desormeaux Blvd. Its major tenants are Super C and Walmart. The mall is made of approximately 45 stores occupying of rentable space. The mall has two banks: Bank of Montreal and National Bank of Canada.

The mall officially inaugurated on May 25, 1971 though its stores had gradually began opening their doors since May 19. It opened with 50 commerces and two large department stores, Zellers and Bonimart, each occupying an area of . The shopping mall as a whole was and was owned by Marcel Adams. At its opening, Place Desormeaux was the largest mall in the South Shore as well as the fourth in the Montreal area after Fairview Pointe-Claire, Galeries d'Anjou and Place Versailles. Tenants in the 1970s included Steinberg's, the Bank of Montreal, Banque Canadienne Nationale, Reitmans, J B Lefebvre and Laura Secord Chocolates.

Place Desormeaux began a six-month renovation which was completed on October 29, 1986. A notable consequence of this renovation was the reduction of the size of the Bonimart store whose remaining anchor space was converted into a mall section for 20 new stores. This increased Place Desormeaux's number of tenants to 70 but the total area size of the shopping mall remained unchanged because the expansion was strictly limited indoor within the Bonimart space.

In April 1991, Zellers announced the rebranding into its nameplate of 46 Towers/Bonimart stores. Since there was already a Zellers store in the mall, the Bonimart at Place Desormeaux was closed. Its closing greatly decreased consumer traffic in the part of the mall it was located to the point that by the mid-1990s there was not a single store left around where used to be Bonimart. In 1997, this section of the shopping mall was torn down and completely rebuilt to welcome the current Super C on May 1, 1998.

The Steinberg grocery chain went bankrupt in 1992. Unlike most Steinberg locations, the one at Place Desormeaux was not sold and was closed outright instead. A small grocery chain Esposito took over the lease. Esposito in turn closed in 1996, opening the way for department store Winners to install itself in the mall on August 22, 1996. After operating for some 10 years, Winners closed around late 2006/early 2007. The space is now home to a branch of the SAAQ and the Longueuil Local Employment Centre, both of which are part of the Government of Quebec.

After 40 years in operation, Zellers permanently closed its doors in June 2012. Walmart assumed the lease of the former Zellers store and opened its store in October of the same year.

Place Longueuil

Place Longueuil is a shopping mall located in Longueuil, Quebec, Canada. The major stores are IGA Extra, Winners/HomeSense and, to a lesser extent, St-Hubert and Sports Experts.

Place Longueuil and its 60 shops were destroyed on October 6, 1979, by a major fire. The damage was estimated at 15 million $ and more than 20,000 people watched the shopping mall burned. It took five fire departments to extinguish the blaze and three firemen were briefly injured. Unlike the shops, Steinberg's and Miracle Mart were spared due to the presence of fire sprinkler systems in their stores.

The mall was rebuilt and reopened on April 8, 1981, with 90 stores.

Miracle Mart was renamed M in 1986 and the chain finally went under in 1992. After M closed, Zellers took the location of M and remained there until its own closure in 2012 and its subsequent replacement by Target the following year.

In February 2011, it was announced that Homburg Canada would succeed over Cogir as manager of Place Longueuil. The transaction took effect a couple of days later.
