Almost 95 million customers, 900 events, prestigious titles and awards – over the last decade Galeria Echo has become a permanent fixture in the city’s landscape, becoming one of the favorite shopping destinations of Kielce and a place to spend free time. After the expansion in 2011, which was a milestone in the history of both the shopping center and the entire region, the mall has become the most important shopping and entertainment facility in the Świętokrzyskie Province. Today, after almost 20 years of presence in the life of the local community, Galeria Echo is an important, city-forming stakeholder in Kielce, appreciated by local authorities and visitors.
Galeria Echo was the first modern shopping center in the city and had an unquestionable impact on changing the awareness of the inhabitants of Kielce and the entire region. It has become a showcase of the city, a driving force behind subsequent changes and development of the Świętokrzyskie Voivodeship, and despite the passage of time, it still maintains its leading position. The reconstruction of the center in 2011 was a key moment in both the history of the facility and the local community. We are glad that for a decade we have been able to provide our clients with unforgettable impressions and experiences – both during shopping and numerous events that took place at Galeria Echo, comments Grzegorz Czekaj, director of Galeria Echo.
The success of Galeria Echo is also measured by the successes of our tenants. In 2011–2019, the turnover of our brands increased by over 50%, and in the last two months of this year. – in June and July – they even remained at a higher level than in the corresponding period of 2019. This means that traditional trade is still very popular and is an attractive purchasing channel, adds Jakub Ociepka, Asset Manager at EPP.
