The mall opened in 1977. Notable anchors at one time included Dominion, J. Pascal's Hardware and Furniture (later as Zellers), and a Chinese cuisine named "Ruby Chinese Restaurant." The Scarborough Public Library Board also opened the Woodside Square branch in the mall during the mall's early years of operation.^{[citation needed]}

The Zellers was closed down and the space divided into multiple retailers and includes a Food Basics.^[3]

Near the mid-2000s, the McDonald's which had been located inside the mall was rebuilt as a freestanding tenant outside the mall to accommodate with the number of customers.^[2]

In 2007, the library began to run out of room for its collection,^[4] while coincidentally, the Dominion supermarket was closing down at the mall, as it was being acquired by Metro Inc. This supermarket location ended up not being converted into a Metro, and was renovated to include more retail space. The library was moved here, and a Shopper's Drug Mart was opened in the remaining space.^{[citation needed]}

On 7 October 2009, Toronto Public Health closed the Ruby Chinese Cuisine after a man supposedly died after eating food from the cuisine. After investigations, an outbreak of salmonella was found in the restaurant.^[5]

During 2012–2013, the mall redeveloped over 45,000 sq ft (4,181 m²) of land to add more stores and restaurants. They include many fast food restaurants, a Le Château Outlet, and another Chinese restaurant, named Congee Town.^[6]

In 2019, the mall underwent interior renovations to modernize the mall. New ceramic flooring, smooth ceiling, LED lighting, restaurants, and an upgraded food court and washroom were part of the renovations.^[7][8]
