You prefer to avoid the risk of getting caught in bad weather? Rouyn-Noranda has two distinct shopping centres. Inaugurated in 1972, Place Rouanda was not only the first shopping centre to open its doors in Abitibi-Témiscamingue, but it was also the first one built north of Montréal. Some fifteen stores and major retail chains have established themselves there.
With nearly forty stores, including major retail chains and local, independent stores, Les Promenades du Cuivre is the largest shopping centre in the region.
For those of you who prefer shopping in big-box stores, your needs will be met in the Senator Development located at the western limit of Rouyn-Noranda’s urban core. Here you will find giants like Walmart, Canadian Tire and Rona.
