== History ==
Port Hawkesbury Centre opened in the 1970s with F.W. Woolworth and Dominion as its anchors. The mall originally had many different national and local retailers. 
In 1985, Dominion left the Nova Scotian market. The location at Port Hawkesbury Centre closed, a few years later, a Hart moved into the space. 
In 1990, most Canadian F.W. Woolworth locations, including the one at Port Hawkesbury Centre were converted to Woolco. In March 1994, the Woolco at the mall was converted to Walmart, which remains as the main anchor of the mall today. 
Over the next decade, not much happened. The mall has never received any renovations and still has its original design today. 
In the late 2000s and 2010s, Port Hawkesbury Centre began to decline. Stores like Movie Gallery and Pennington's permanently closed.
In 2011, Hart filed for bankruptcy, because of this, Hart completely left the Nova Scotia and Newfoundland markets. The store at Port Hawkesbury Centre was replaced with Labels soon after. Hart has since re entered the Port Hawkesbury market on the other side of town. 
In 2014, Labels closed, soon after, Giant Tiger moved in to the space. 
In the later half of the 2010s, even more stores closed. Including: People's Jewelers, Sears Hometown, Bentley, Alia & Tanjay, Stitches and more. 
Today, even though there isn't many tenants left, the mall continues to stay open, with most foot traffic coming from the anchors, Dollarama, and Mark's.
