Kraków Plaza (also called Galeria Plaza; from 2019 to 2021 known as Fashion Outlet Kraków) was a shopping mall in Kraków, Poland. It was located in the Grzegórzki district at 44 Pokoju Avenue. The mall opened in 2002 and closed after 19 years in 2021. The building was demolished between late 2022 and April 2023.
History
[change | change source]The mall was built by the company Skanska between 2001 and 2002. It had 60,000 m² of space, 120 shops and restaurants, and 1,500 parking spaces.[1][2]Some of the main stores included clothing shops, a Cinema City movie theater, a McDonald’s, and a Carrefour hypermarket.[3]
Between 2018 and 2019, the mall was changed into an outlet center.[3] In August 2021, the last shops closed, and the building was abandoned.[4]
In early 2022, a new owner bought the building. They planned to demolish it and build new structures.[5]
Before demolition started in March 2022, the empty mall was used as a help center and shelter for refugees from Ukraine.[6] The building was fully demolished in 2023.[7]
