Footfall in shopping centers reach the level above the pandemic

In April this year, footfall in shopping centers measured by the number of customers per square meter was 2.5% compared to April 2019, according to the Polish Council of Shopping Centers. The number of visits grew fastest in large cities, such as Wrocław and the Tri-City. By category, the best results were recorded for food, household appliances, and gastronomy. 

The influx of Ukrainian citizens supported the increase in footfall as the growth was especially notable in the cities popular among refugees. In addition, Poles who host or support refugees also shop more often.
