The Polish footwear giant opened its first shopping mall store in Hungary in 2012 at the Pólus Center. Since then, the Polus Center has undergone a rejuvenation, which in large part prompted the renovation of CCC’s retail space. According to CBRE, the number of visitors to Polus Center increased by 6% in 2015, while the turnover of the tenants increased by 15% as compared to the previous year, the press release noted.
“We believe Pólus was a perfect choice for us. Feedback from customers in past years, and a high number of visitors prompted us to expand our presence in the mall. After the refurbishment of Pólus we chose to do our own. … Moreover, the store is now CCC Hungaryʼs largest shopping mall shoe store,” said Sándor Hódi, managing director of CCC in Hungary.
“We have completed a successful negotiation process, which guarantees the long-term presence of CCC. This newly opened ‘magnet tenant’ is an excellent indicator of Pólus Center’s development, since only the most successful shopping centers have shoe stores of a similar size,” added Szabolcs Koroknai, head of retail – shopping centers at CBRE.
