Fashion stores drive people into shopping mall

Magdalena Frątszak, the director for the trade area department in the CBRE company, emphasizes that for some time already the groceries do not wield the main function in shopping malls. "Now the greatest accelerators are fashion stores. This resembles the trend of smaller amount of money spend on groceries and a bigger one spend on non-groceries," she explained.

According to Cushman & Wakefield, in 239 modern shopping malls in Poland as much as 230,000 sqm of area were not rented at the end of the first half of 2015. This makes only 3,3 percent of renting area in those objects.
