Toronto - Eaton Centre

The huge Eaton Center is located at the north end of the CBD. With its own subway station this ultra-modern shopping complex extends over several blocks and is continually being renovated and enlarged. Strangers can quite easily lose their way in the bewildering maze of department stores, specialist shops, boutiques, restaurants, cafeterias and snack bars which crowd the different levels above and below ground. There is hardly a specialty from anywhere in the world which cannot be found for sale here. The original Eaton department store opened in Toronto in 1869. Since then it has grown into an enormous retail business, with branches in all the larger Canadian towns and cities and as well as abroad.
