History

In the 18th century, Pincourt was made up of 22 concessions and on lot 75, called Fief Moreau, owned by Valentin Moreau, there were plans to build a windmill, but they were never carried out. 2 This lot 75 became later on in the 1940s the LaFlèche sugar shack. 1 It's that lot that Bellevue Estate Ltd purchased on December 29, 1955. The now defunct Steinberg's supermarket chain originally opened a store on this land in November 1960. Some years later, in 1963, a strip mall has been added by Bellevue Estate Ltd 1, adding a Woolworth and a Royal Bank branch. Three commercial buildings then occupy the site. In the 1970s,

In 1992, when Steinberg's went bankrupt, the store became Xtra, the discount supermarket division for the group at the time. However, when the company folded in May 1992, Provigo bought the space and its sister chain Maxi took the former Steinberg's/Xtra space. In 1993, the mall had huge improvements, adding many others stores, with Canadian Tire and Zellers as new anchors. 1 In 2002,
