Terranova has officially opened its doors at Gemini Park Tarnów! As the first store of this Italian brand in Tarnów and the region, it spans 500 square meters and offers a collection that blends creativity, high quality, and affordability—designed to meet the needs of women, men, and children alike.

Gemini Park Tarnów continues to earn high marks for its stability, as reflected in changes affecting 23% of its retail space (excluding large-format stores). These updates include new openings, modernizations, and tenant expansions into refreshed concepts.

Anna Malcharek, Managing Director of Gemini Holding, shares insights into the state of shopping centers in Poland and the company’s development plans.

The Rituals Cosmetics store is set to open at Gemini Park Tarnów in January 2025, marking the brand’s debut in this part of the Małopolska region and within the entire Gemini Holding portfolio. This will be one of the first new offerings introduced by the shopping center at the start of the new year.

On December 4, Ochnik unveiled its newly expanded store at Gemini Park Bielsko-Biała, now spanning 543 square meters. This marks a fourfold increase in size for a store that has been part of the shopping center since its opening 15 years ago.

The service offerings in shopping centers have been evolving for years, playing an increasingly important role in complementing retail options and acting as a magnet to attract customers. The ability to address everyday needs under one roof provides a competitive edge over other locations. This advantage becomes even more significant in our geographic region, where weather greatly influences daily life, writes Anna Malcharek, Managing Director of Gemini Holding, in her commentary for Omnichannelnews.pl.

The ongoing image campaign at Gemini Park Bielsko-Biała, promoting an active lifestyle and the center’s sports offerings, is delivering impressive results. Initial outcomes are striking—sales for sports tenants have increased by an average of 28% month-over-month, with footfall in most stores up by as much as 20%.

In October this year, Gemini Park Tychy Sp. z o.o. signed a five-year lease agreement with Shoebox Polska Sp. z o.o. for the opening of an Office Shoes store spanning over 100 square meters. The store is set to open at the end of November 2024.

For years, shopping centers have played a pivotal role in integrating local communities. This role aligns with management strategies, with partnerships with local governments becoming key to attracting visitors from across the region. In line with this approach, Gemini Park Tychy actively supported a meaningful initiative celebrating World Mental Health Day by hosting an engaging event that promoted both mental and overall health.
