Shopping centers in Brest began to rapidly appear and develop relatively recently. Back in the early 2000s, the city did not have super- and hypermarkets, large multi-functional trading floors. This was due to the legacy of the 90s, when there were many so-called clothing markets.
Shopping centers in Brest
Closer to 2010, there were large Asstor-West and Mix stores in the city, and the Korona supermarket was opened. It was after this year that large shopping centers began to appear very actively in the city.
Shopping centers in Brest are distinguished by their commodity filling. Today, in almost every microdistrict of the city there is a super- or hypermarket (some even have several). In the city there are:
- mixed shopping centers - offering customers products, household goods and entertainment: cafes, pizzerias, children's playrooms (TSUM, Equator, Interspar);
- food ("Dionysus", "Almi");
- construction ("Mil", "Mainland");
- clothing (shopping center "Nikolsky" in Brest, shopping center "Europe");
- household appliances ("5 element", "Power");
- furniture centers ("Ami-furniture", "Pinskdrev", "Furniture House").
Trading networks of the city
Today in the city there are shops of such retail chains as:
- "Crown";
- Almi
- Euroopt;
- Rublevsky;
- "Martin";
- "Dionysus";
- Intespar;
- Green
- Ohm
- "Mainland";
- Mile
- Santa
Most of Brest shopping centers have points on their squares where you can have a snack or relax with your family, visit a hairdresser or take an urgent photo.
It is worth noting that large stores are unevenly distributed throughout the city. So, for example, the micro districts Rechitsa, Berezovka and Dubrovka cannot boast of the presence of large hypermarkets. Despite the fact that there began to appear shops "Euroopt", "Crowns" and "Almi", trade in these areas is mostly represented by food products and small shops.
The center of Brest, due to the historical features of the development, is not filled with large shopping centers. Here is the reconstructed Central Department Store, shopping center "Nikolsky" near the bus station, "Gostiny Dvor" on Sovetskaya. Most stores are actively being built and opened in such areas of Brest as Vostok, Kovalevo, the new district of Zarechny. These areas are densely populated, are actively growing and upset, so the opening of new centers here is beneficial for investors.
The largest centers
One of the largest entertainment and shopping centers in Brest is the "Equator", located in the Vostok microdistrict. It includes a Green supermarket, boutiques and small shops located inside, as well as a fitness center and a playground. "Equator" is for Brest residents not only a place to buy food or clothing, but also a place for families with children. Here you can visit the game room inside, play on the playground on the street, spend time in the rope town or visit the pizzeria.
Another big center is the Korona hypermarket. Despite the fact that it has been open in the city for about 8 years, many people love this particular store. High quality of service, spaciousness and a large selection of goods from year to year attract an increasing number of customers. The store houses jewelry and clothing boutiques and a household appliance department on its territory.
Famous since Soviet times, the Central Department Store in 2018 was opened in a new form. The store went through a complete modernization and looked like inside a modern multifunctional shopping and entertainment center. Here, the previous assortment was preserved, while the store was completely refurbished in a modern way. Now you can relax with a cup of coffee, make the necessary purchases and just take a walk with your family. TSUM is located in the center of Brest, and in its eastern microdistrict has a branch of Vostochny Trading House.
The largest construction supermarkets and household appliances stores
Also, the development of trade infrastructure has contributed to the emergence of large stores not only grocery and industrial orientation. The city has several large construction hypermarkets and household appliances stores. Milya, Materik and Oma offer a wide range of construction products, tools and materials. Of course, markets with similar products continue to function, but still these stores are convenient in that you can find almost everything at once in one place. Household appliances are assembled in centers such as "5 element", "Power", "I am glad to you."
