A new shopping mall for Split is set to open.
After a series of troubles since the beginning of the project, the date of the opening of the Mall of Split is known! Although the construction of the largest and the most modern shopping and entertainment centre in Split has lasted longer than expected, and some though it would never end, the date when the entire facility will be delivered to customers is finally known. So, on 29 October at 9 am, the customers will finally be able to visit the shops and other facilities in the Mall of Split on Mejaši. The event has already been duly announced on the investors' website, reports Dalmacijanews on September 9, 2015.
On the construction site, the final activities are being finished and the building facade is being completed. The first billboards for the stores have been put up: Interspar, DM, Nike, Sportvision, Shooster... A growing number of tenants have already started working on their shops. Among the shops in the centre, there will be well-known brands, such as those from the Inditex group (Zara, Zara Home, Massimo Dutti, ...), Cotton, and also some which will appear in Dalmatia for the first time – LPP (Reserved, Mohito, Cropp, Sinsay, House), and a large Lego Store which will be the second such store in Croatia. On the official website of the Mall of Split there is an announcement for the opening of the first store (if that's what you call the three thousand square metres divided on two floors) of the British department store chain Debenhams and its exclusive brands.
It seems that it would be best to check everything at the opening or a few days later, at least as far as the number of shops, bars and restaurants is concerned, as well as the entertainment areas (especially the spectacular cinema)... One of the questions that has been presented as a huge problem is the access road. Some even doubted the legality of the whole project, but it seems that everything will be fine. At least that is what the representatives of the Mall of Split say, and was confirmed indirectly by the mayor Ivo Baldasar himself. He said that the building of the famous roundabout near the centre is not a precondition for the opening of the shopping centre, although the investors are obliged to eventually build it. Until then, said Baldasar, access to the Mall of Split on that side will go over existing "little road".
