MERCIALYS FURTHER STRENGTHENS ITS COMMERCIAL OFFERING BY SIGNING UP 35,500 SQ.M OF SPECIALIZED MID-SIZE STORES
In line with its strategy to further strengthen and diversify the offering available at its sites, Mercialys is announcing the arrival of around 15 leading retailers with mid-size stores in its portfolio.
The contracts signed will lead to the creation of 35,500 sq.m of major new retail outlets within the portfolio. Mercialys is continuing to demonstrate its agility in transforming its shopping centers, offering retailers units that are tailored to their needs.
With its extensive portfolio of shopping malls throughout France, Mercialys offers numerous development opportunities for retailers.
Examples include H&M, which will be increasing the size of three of its stores and opening four new sales outlets.
Boulanger and La Grande Récré will be setting up at the Espace Fenouillet retail park, north of Toulouse, with their openings scheduled for October and November 2015.
Openings for the other mid-size stores will run from the end of 2015 to late 2017, depending on the sites.
In line with the company's development strategy, which aims to renew and further strengthen its assets, the continued arrival of mid-size stores with a diverse cultural, leisure, fashion, high-tech and home improvement offering is confirming the appeal of Mercialys' malls.
