Whatever you’re looking for, it’s all here at Manulife Centre. From cabernet to cashmere, there’s something here for everyone and every need. And with plenty of new retailers joining the mix there is even more to discover at your favourite one-stop shop at the corner of Bay and Bloor.
What makes our shopping centre the perfect one-stop shop? Manulife Centre is at the heart of Bloor-Yorkville, one of Toronto’s most bustling and evolving neighbourhoods. This area – from Avenue Road in the west to Yonge Street in the east – boasts a retail mix of fashion, beauty, dining, fitness, homewares, electronics, grocery, pharmacy and specialty retailers. Pretty great, right? Well what if we told you that Manulife Centre – which occupies a single block at the corner of Bay and Bloor – offers all of that and more?
Standby classics like Petra Karthaus, Ron White Shoes, Bonny Satchels & Duffles and Decatarina Leather have had you covered in the fashion department from head to toe for years, but in 2019 we were excited to welcome Yorkville legend Over the Rainbow to our mix. Over the Rainbow brings the best selection of denim in Toronto to Bay and Bloor alongside tons of fashionable and reasonably priced quality items to keep you on trend and on budget.

Manulife Centre has no shortage of great food. From classic Italian lunch and dinner options at Scaccia to fine dining on the 51st Floor at The One Eighty there’s something for everyone here. We also have an excellent Starbucks that is now accessible via our Concourse Level, and we’re excited to welcome Pilot Coffee Roasters at the end of September to give us a second option for our daily caffeine fix. On top of all of this, even the Cineplex Varsity & VIP cinema offers sit-down dinner options so you can take in dinner and a movie, all in one place. On top of all of this, Eataly – which is due to open later this year – will bring four new restaurants, half a dozen cafés and takeaway counters, and a craft beer bar to Bay & Bloor. To call Manulife Centre an eater’s paradise would be an understatement.
