The M1 Zabrze shopping centre, managed by EPP, has recently expanded its retail offering as part of a broader strategy to meet the evolving expectations of value-conscious consumers. This follows the late-2024 opening of one of Poland’s first ATAC Hiper Discount by Auchan hypermarkets within the centre. In the first half of 2025, M1 Zabrze added several new tenants, including the city’s largest HalfPrice store. The off-price retailer occupies nearly 2,100 sqm and offers a wide selection of fashion, sporting goods, homeware, pet accessories and international snacks. This addition was accompanied by the arrival of fashion retailers Greenpoint, Top Secret and Reporter, as well as jewellery brand VERONA. Several existing stores have also undergone expansion or refurbishment. The Rossmann drugstore was modernised in line with its latest retail concept, and Sinsay reopened in a larger format offering an expanded selection across fashion, homeware and pet products. Sports retailer 4F is expected to open a new and larger-format store by the end of the summer. In total, the recent retail changes involved nearly 4,000 sqm, representing over 5% of the shopping centre’s leasable area. The retail updates align with EPP’s stated goal of catering to consumers who seek value and variety. According to the centre’s management, there is a growing preference for retail environments that support product discovery and price comparison, without compromising quality. Beyond retail, M1 Zabrze is also promoting educational and leisure activities. Until the end of November, visitors can explore Kosmopark, a science-focused exhibition featuring over 40 interactive zones. The display includes a planetarium, virtual space expeditions, and workshops for children focused on space and science themes.
