Shopping mall in Quebec, Canada

Carrefour Laval (corporately styled as "CF Carrefour Laval") is a superregional shopping mall in Laval, Quebec, Canada. It is located in the Chomedey neighbourhood of the city at the intersection of Laurentian Autoroute (A 15) and Autoroute Jean Noël Lavoie (A 440). At , it is both the largest enclosed shopping centre in the Greater Montreal area and the largest mall operating on a single floor in all of Quebec. Virtually untouched by the ongoing decline of indoor malls, it typically ranks among the top shopping centres in Quebec for its number of visitors as well as sales per square foot and has been home to many retail firsts in the province.

The mall has three anchor stores: Hudson's Bay, Simons and Rona L'Entrepôt. Various other stores, boutiques and restaurants are represented in the mall.

Construction of the mall was announced on February 27, 1969, by Steinberg's and Eaton's. The consortium announced that a 150 store mall would be built on a property next to the Laurentian Autoroute, subject to the construction of the necessary infrastructure by the newly formed city of Laval. Construction was intended to start in 1971 but the project had been delayed after a zoning bylaw proposed by mayor Jacques Tétreault, that would effectively have given the Carrefour Laval consortium a monopoly over the development of the proposed downtown core of Laval, was challenged by the opposition and by members of his own party who founded his idea to be discriminatory and too restrictive towards other businesses. Carrefour Laval finally broke ground the following year and undertaken by Fairview Corporation which had previously developed the shopping malls Fairview Pointe Claire and Galeries d'Anjou.

1974: Carrefour Laval opens with major tenants Simpsons, Eaton's, Dupuis Frères, Pascal's and Beaucoup. The L shaped Carrefour Laval has 125 stores. Carrefour Laval has three owners: Fairview Corporation, Ivanhoe Corporation and Eaton's. It has a size of 850,000 square feet and occupies a land of 29.6 hectares. Almost 200,000 square feet of it goes to the Eaton's store. 1978: Dupuis Frères closes. 1983: The mall increases to 1.15 million square feet by expanding to the west with 90 new stores and a Sears department store of 158,000 square feet. 1984: The Beaucoup concept is abandoned.

It is located in a portion of the former Pascal's hardware store's. Moreover, work begins to convert the space that had been occupied by M to accommodate what would have been the first Costco store in Quebec, but this is halted when Costco and Price Club merge the same year, since there was already a Price Club store right across the expressway. 1994: Rona L'Entrepôt opens on what used to be the anchor spaces of Steinberg's and M.
