History

Westmount Centre was started as a strip mall called Westmount Shopper's Park in 1955.

Entertainment Facilities

The movie theatre in the mall, now operated by the Empire chain, first opened in 1985. This theatre replaced another cinema located in another part of the mall which originally opened in 1959 as the single-screen Sahara Theatre. The Sahara Theatre became the Westmount Theatre in 1965 when Famous Players took it over. Famous Players twinned the theatre in 1971 by building a smaller, 500-seat auditorium adjoining the existing 800-seat one. The current theatre had four screens until it shut down in the spring of 2011.
