    To celebrate STC’s 50th, we are taking a trip down memory lane with some never-before-seen archival photos of the shopping centre. Join us for a nostalgic journey back to the early days of STC and see how our centre has evolved over the years. The party is just getting started, as we celebrate the future by bringing brands closer to home with IKEA and Decathlon in 2023.

    Follow @ShopSTC and @ScarboroughSpots to enjoy more of these moments from the past, and don’t forget to share your memories too #STC50

    The Balloons

    The inclusion of the iconic five multi-colour STC balloons was a last-minute addition that quickly turned into one of the Centre’s most beloved features. Over nearly four decades, these balloons never failed to captivate shoppers as they gracefully ascended and descended above a fountain near Simpsons (now Hudson’s Bay).
