History

Bramalea Centers built the mall in 1988. Its original anchors were J.C. Penney, Sears, Prange's (which converted to Younkers in 1992), and Steketee's.

The Steketee's store, the last one in the chain, closed in 2003. The same year, its space was converted to Dunham's Sports. Sears closed in 2004 and became Steve & Barry's from February 2007 to December 2008.

JJ Finnegan's restaurant, an original tenant, closed its location at the mall in 2009. Afterward, the mall owners took the restaurant owners to court for failure to pay rent. At this point, Westshore Mall was over 30 percent vacant. The increasing vacancy came from increased competition when the larger Rivertown Crossings and The Lakes Mall were built nearby. In 2010, a bank purchased the mall for $7.8 million.

In November 2014, a local developer announced plans to begin "de-malling" the complex into an outdoor shopping mall. Work began on "de-malling" in mid-2015. The only stores remaining operational throughout the reconstruction are J. C. Penney, Younkers, Dunham's, Buckle, and GNC. Also at this point, the complex was renamed The Shops at Westshore.
