Its focus is on fashion, and has several fine shoes, jewellery, and clothing stores. It hosts a fall fashion show every year.

It was originally opened in 1959 by Woodward's Stores which anchored the centre until it was sold to The Bay in 1993.

Mall Facilities

Oakridge Centre is a fairly large mall, with approximately 150 stores, from BCBG to Purdy's Chocolates. It also contains one of the city's only Tommy Bahama locations, as well as a number of stores usually found in downtown upscale areas, such as Lacoste, Harry Rosen, Coach, and Hugo Boss. There are also two office towers, medical and dental offices, as well as 32 urban condominiums.

Vancouver's second Apple Store opened at Oakridge on September 26th, 2009. It is located next to the mall entrance of The Hudson's Bay Company. The third Armani Exchange store in the Vancouver area opened here on November 2, 2010.

Other attractions include a 3-screen Empire Theatres cinema, a children's play area, and a self-playing piano. A central food court is located near the Safeway entrance, with approximately 15 food kiosks. Several other restaurants, including White Spot, are located in other parts of the mall.

The mall also hosts free space for charitable organisations, allowing approximately thirty such organisations a year to fundraise at the mall.

The Oakridge branch of the Vancouver Public Library is located downstairs from the main mall.
