Centre Duvernay

The Duvernay sector of Laval, Quebec, whose residential communities of Moroccan, Algerian, Lebanese, and broadly North African and Middle Eastern immigrant households give the Boulevard des Laurentides catchment a daily provisioning and community services culture whose specific commercial needs the Centre Duvernay tenant mix reflects more fully than the national chain retail formats available elsewhere in the Laval commercial market, gives the property a community mall identity. Rotab Dattes et Saveurs, the specialty date and North African sweets retailer whose Duvernay location serves the Maghrebi community’s date purchasing and confectionery occasion as a primary daily provisioning destination, gives the property a commercially specific food identity for the North African and Middle Eastern immigrant household. Metro anchors the grocery and daily-needs category. Librairie Carcajou, the Quebec French-language independent bookstore chain, gives the property a Francophone literary and cultural identity. Mondou, the Quebec-founded pet food and supplies specialty chain, gives the property a Quebec-native practical retail identity.

SAQ serves the Quebec government wine and spirits retail category. Pharmaprix serves the pharmacy and health category. iFeedU serves the local specialty meat delivery and farm-fresh food category. Tim Hortons serves the daily café occasion. Dollarama serves the value and household essentials category. Hart gives the property a value general merchandise and accessible fashion identity. La Fripe Planète gives the property a secondhand and eco fashion identity. Liquidation Amazon Duvernay gives the property a value electronics and general merchandise returns identity.

The property’s commercial role in east Laval is the Duvernay Boulevard des Laurentides community mall: a Metro-anchored grocery and daily-needs format whose Rotab Dattes North African community food identity, Librairie Carcajou Francophone culture, and Mondou Quebec pet care give the Duvernay and east Laval Maghrebi, Middle Eastern, and French-Canadian immigrant household a practical community retail and daily-needs destination whose commercial character the standard Laval suburban regional mall does not deliver at equivalent cultural depth.
