Northgate Square Shopping Centre

Algonquin Avenue in North Bay, Ontario, the North Bay-Parry Sound District city at the northern shore of Lake Nipissing whose Nipissing University, Canadore College, Canadian Forces Base North Bay, and healthcare employment base give the northeastern Ontario regional hub a retail trade area extending across the Nipissing District and Parry Sound corridor, gives Northgate Square Shopping Centre the primary enclosed comparison-shopping format for the North Bay household. Walmart anchors the general merchandise and grocery category. Best Buy serves the consumer electronics floor. Sephora gives the property a prestige beauty identity that the North Bay professional and student household accesses as the primary full-service cosmetics destination in the northeastern Ontario market. American Eagle and Roots give the property a premium and accessible Canadian fashion identity.

Griffin Jewellery Designs, the North Bay-area independent jewelry and custom design studio, gives the property a locally-owned fine jewelry identity at a personal-service depth the national chain operators do not match. Peoples Jewellers and Charm Diamond Centres serve the national chain jewelry floor alongside Griffin. Coles, the Indigo-owned Canadian bookseller, serves the books and gifts category. La Vie en Rose, Northern Reflections, Reitmans, Suzy Shier, Bluenotes, Urban Planet, Boathouse, Maurices, and Carter’s OshKosh cover the accessible and Canadian fashion floor. Pearle Vision and Northgate Optometrists serve the optical retail categories. Sunrise Records serves the Canadian music and pop culture retail category.

Bell, Rogers, TELUS, Koodo, Virgin Plus, and WirelessWave serve the telecom categories. Bath and Body Works and La Senza serve the beauty and lingerie categories. The property’s commercial role in northeastern Ontario is the North Bay Algonquin Avenue regional mall: a Walmart-Best Buy-Sephora platform whose Griffin Jewellery local identity, Roots-American Eagle Canadian fashion floor, and Peoples-Charm Diamond jewelry give the North Bay, Nipissing District, and Parry Sound corridor household the primary enclosed retail destination for the northeastern Ontario market between Sudbury and Huntsville.
