Plaza-craze seems to continue in Budapest and in other Hungarian cities. Yesterday the capital’s largest shopping mall, Arena Plaza (Near Keleti Train Station, M2 metro line) opened at last though with 3-hour delay.
The delay was because the cleaning of the mall wasn’t finished in time.
Despite the expectations only a couple of hundreds people attended the long-awaited opening ceremony. And they were certainly disappointed beacuse most of the shops didn’t open or were busy filling up the shelves with their products.
The rain-soaked and cold mass couldn’t warm up inside the huge building because the heating system didn’t work properly not to mention the closed toilettes.
Hopefully the giant plaza will operate more smoothly than it did on its first day.
Many famous brands have shop in the Arena:
- Tommy Hillfiger,
- Ralph Lauren,
- Boss, Lacoste,
- H&M etc.
Some other trendy brands include: Zara, Pull and Bear, the Okaidi Children’s Clothes.
A handful of cafes and restaurants cater for the hungray shoppers.
Haagen Dazs known for its spremium ice creams has its first shop in Hungary here.
Also Tchibo opened its first specilaity coffee and retail shop offering new product range every 2 weeks.
