The opening of Galeria Wiślanka in Żory is approaching. On October 22, the official inauguration of the first modern shopping and entertainment center in the city will take place, providing convenient shopping for the whole family. The gallery will offer customers not only access to the offer of the most popular brands, but also allow them to take advantage of a wide portfolio of service points. The facility will also become a pleasant place to spend free time, incl. thanks to the 4-screen Helios cinema multiplex, as well as the largest gastronomic zone in Żory.

From the beginning of commercialization, Galeria Wiślanka has enjoyed great interest among tenants. The largest players in the domestic retail market have decided to open their stores in the shopping center. The LPP Group will open stores of all clothing brands in the Żory facility - Reserved, Mohito, House, Cropp and Sinsay. The largest Polish footwear company, CCC, also joined the facility as one of the first tenants. At present, a few days before its inauguration, the Gallery has been commercialized in almost 100%.

- This is one of the last shopping and entertainment galleries to be opened in Poland in the coming years. Almost 100% commercialization is a huge success. Since March, we all face a new reality. Many tenants have suspended their development plans, and some have decided to close the least profitable outlets. From the very beginning, Galeria Wiślanka was assessed as a promising project with great potential, which allowed it to obtain a full set of tenants from every industry - says Maciej Mazur, CEO of Mallson Polska.

- Despite the difficult situation on the market, the tenants trusted this project with great trust, and many of them decided to open the first stores of their brands in Żory. It is also worth emphasizing that many key brands, such as New Yorker, Sizeer, Douglas, Monnari, Wojas, Ryłko, Solar, Tatuum and KS SPORT have signed contracts in recent months. It was also important that thanks to our very good knowledge of the local market, we knew exactly the needs and expectations of future customers - adds Ewa Ściubidło, Vice President of Mallson Polska.

An important element for each of the brands was the well-thought-out design of the Gallery, its convenient location at the intersection of two main streets in Żory, i.e. the national road DK81 (commonly known as "Wiślanka") and the provincial road DW 935, as well as the appropriate shopping potential of Żory - a city with over 60,000 residents.

- While implementing this project, it was very important for us to create a balanced tenant-mix that would meet the expectations and needs of modern consumers. We wanted not only a strong representation of recognized brands in the fashion or fashion accessories category, but also a full range of tenants from other sectors, thanks to which Galeria Wiślanka will become the shopping destination of first choice in Żory. Therefore, in our center, customers will find Empik, Smyk, RTV Euro AGD, Drogerie Polskie, Rossmann, Drogerie Polskie, Home & You, Pepco and retail outlets of all mobile network operators. Wiślanka guests will also be able to take advantage of the offer of the newest and largest concept of the Lidl store, as well as a varied food court zone. In the latter, they will find the eateries they expect, incl. Pizza Hut, Olimp, Burger Route 66, Makarun and the popular ice cream parlors in Silesia, Lodomania and Sopelek. Our guests will also benefit from a comfortable, 4-screen Helios cinema. We did everything to make the offer the most attractive for the residents of Żory, who so far had to go to other often distant cities to do their shopping in a modern shopping mall - says Teresa Jonas, President of the Management Board of Wiślanka S.A.

On the occasion of the inauguration, Galeria Wiślanka has prepared three days of attractions for the inhabitants of the city. The popular presenter Krzysztof Ibisz will count the last seconds to the opening. The popular youtuber Naruciak will also appear on the stage. The highlight will be the 3D Mapping Show with a laser and fire show.

Due to the current situation throughout the country, each of the attractions will be safe and will reduce the possibility of crowds and ensure that the recommended distance between participants is maintained.

- Ensuring the safety of the visitors of the Gallery is our priority. The center will include, among others markings informing about keeping distance or observing the wearing of masks. In addition, in many places it will be possible to use disinfectant dispensers. To minimize the risk of crowds, the 3D Mapping Show itself will be held on Saturday several times at 19 and additionally from 20, 21, so that everyone has a chance to comfortably and safely celebrate the opening with us - says Marcin Markowski, spokesman for Galeria Wiślanka.
