At the end of November 2023, the Rondo Shopping Centre in Bydgoszcz opened a new unconventional leisure and meeting area – O!pen Space. It is an initiative that goes beyond the traditional approach to retail space and provides a unique customer experience for visitors to CH Rondo.
CH Rondo, responding to the dynamically changing needs of the market, addresses its offer both to families with children, for whom, for example, monthly theatres are regularly organised, as well as to younger and older customers. The newly opened O!pen Space, as the name suggests, is an open and accessible space for everyone, combining different needs and tastes. With the opening of O!pen Space, a new era of shopping begins at Rondo Shopping Centre, symbolising the meeting of different generations. It is a place that attracts both younger generations and silverheads – mature customers who value quality and aesthetics.
The youth – Generation Z and Generation Alpha – are groups that are increasingly making their presence felt in public spaces, including at Rondo Shopping Centre. Generation Z, known for their ability to adapt quickly to the changing digital world, are looking for places that offer both interactive and authentic experiences. For them, O!pen Space becomes a space where modernity meets convenience and lifestyle. Generation Alpha, on the other hand, raised in a world of ubiquitous technology, is looking for places that are not only technologically advanced but also offer space for creative expression and social engagement. O!pen Space responds to these expectations by creating an environment that is both innovative and kid-friendly. From now on, the Rondo CH is a place where you can not only shop at popular shops or numerous food and beverage outlets, but also spend time and relax.
An important part of the target group of the Rondo CH is also seniors who, despite their age, remain active, interested in new trends and who appreciate elegance. For them, O!pen Space offers comfortable, carefully designed interiors that meet their high expectations of comfort and style. At CH Rondo, they will find a place that harmoniously combines modernity with tradition, offering them a space where they can feel comfortable and respected.
Although CH Rondo has been on the market for almost 25 years, it continues to surprise and follow the latest trends. O!pen Space, located next to Sinsay, is 130 m2 of thoughtfully arranged space. The key to O!pen Space’s success is its modern and unobvious interior design.
Rondo Shopping Centre relies on fresh, surprising solutions to build a unique experience for customers. The new toilets are also a perfect example of this philosophy, also characterised by a strong, modern design and harmoniously linked to the energetic façade and colourful branding of CH Rondo. It is design, combined with functionality, that creates a space that attracts and retains customers for longer.
With the opening of O!pen Space, CH Rondo is introducing an innovative green solution that underlines its commitment to sustainability. The appearance of chewing gum recycling facilities at the centre is an example of how CH Rondo wants to influence the environmental awareness of its customers. But not only that. It is also a way of promoting the O!pen Space area to young people in an unconventional way. It is an initiative that combines ecology with modernity, creating a unique experience for customers that inspires ecological choices on a daily basis.
“O!pen Space at Rondo Shopping Centre is a symbol of modernity, ecology and social activation. It is a place where shopping intertwines with culture and relaxation, creating a unique space for anyone who wants more than the traditional shopping mall gives. The Rondo Shopping Centre, through the O!pen Space, becomes not only a shopping facility but, above all, a place where generations can meet and integrate. It is here, in the O!pen Space, that different age groups meet, creating a community that draws on the wealth of experience and freshness of youth, creating a unique atmosphere for meeting and exchanging ideas. The investment in the O!pen Space and the attention to customer experience are elements that are expected to set CH Rondo apart from the competition. This bold space not only demonstrates an understanding of the expectations of today’s consumers, but also that the centre, which has been on the market for nearly 25 years, is keeping up with the latest trends,” says Justyna Podpora, Asset Manager at Cromwell Property Group, owner of the Rondo Shopping Centre.
