Guelph Eaton Centre
Eaton Centre is a name associated with shopping centres in Canada, originating with Eaton's, one of Canada's largest department store chains at the time that these malls were developed.

Each mall contained an Eaton's store, or was in close proximity to an Eaton's store, and typically the mall itself carried the "Eaton Centre" name. These joint ventures were a significant retail development trend in Canada during that period.McQueen, Rod. 1998. ''The Eatons: The Rise and Fall of Canada's Royal Family''. Toronto: Stoddart.
