October Openings
In October, after a year, Hamleys, one the oldest British toy retailers in the world, has returned to Golden Babylon Rostokino. The leasable area of the store exceeds 5 thousand square meters.
One more significant event was the opening of Jump, a sports and entertainment club, which occupies 1.7 thousand square meters in the London Mall. A month earlier, Jump opened a store at South Pole, another FORTGROUP location in St. Petersburg. A stronger entertainment component at shopping malls is one of the main trends, both at FORTGROUP and in the retail real estate sector as a whole.
In the fashion segment, it is worth mentioning two well-known lingerie brands. After re-concept, a shopping mall in St. Petersburg, Etam opened a store in French Boulevard. Milavitsa opened a 117 square meter store at Fifth Avenue, a shopping and entertainment center in Moscow. In addition, Francesco Donni, a famous shoe brand opened a 265 square meter store on the second floor of Rodeo Drive Mall in Saint Petersburg.
We must also mention Eyekraft, one of Russia's largest eyewear chains, which opened a store at Fifth Avenue Shopping Mall in October.
