There is a kind of cult place in Moscow - TC "Savelovsky". He is known to everyone who has lived in the capital at least a little. This is exactly the place where you can buy any non-food products that can be useful in everyday life. It causes mixed reviews from its visitors.
Instead of the old factory
Back in Soviet times, the factory polishing machines, popularly known as "Samotochka", fell into decay and closed. Its huge workshops were empty within walking distance of the metro station. Therefore, it was here in 1998 that the Savelovsky shopping center was opened.
His concept was to combine under one roof stores of different orientations, so that customers did not have to run around Moscow in search of the goods they needed.
The shopping complex is divided into several pavilions that used to be workshops of the plant. Today they work according to the principles of factory floors: each one performs separate tasks, but they are all interconnected, complement each other and work towards a common goal. And this goal is to satisfy any whims of Muscovites and guests of the capital in the field of non-food products.
Complex infrastructure
Like any large shopping center, this one also has its own scheme. TC "Savelovsky" is divided into several distinct units that sell exclusively their group of goods.
At 40 thousand square meters. m located such pavilions: children's, fashion, computer and mobile. The names speak for themselves. Each of these branches has its own group of goods. In addition, there are recreation and food areas in the territory. Therefore, buyers can not only purchase everything they need, but also take a break after an exhausting shopping run or have a bite to eat in one of the fast-food cafes.
Convenient entrances for private vehicles with ample parking are organized from almost all sides of the center. Those who get their own way will be pleasantly surprised by the proximity of the shopping complex to the Savelovskaya metro station.
"Owlet"
Buying inexpensive, but quality products for children in Moscow is not so simple. Sometimes you need to run through dozens of stores, ask the price and finally make global purchases. This is provided if you do not know that there is a shopping center "Savelovsky". Every second Muscovite knows how to get there.
On the territory of the center there is a pavilion "Owlet". There are 335 stores in it, where there are goods for everyone - from infants to teenagers. The product group consists of clothes, shoes, bedding, children's toys, appliances and devices for the proper growth of children, strollers, tables, walkers and playpens.
Owlet is one of the few places where you can buy real Rabbit orthopedic shoes. It is designed to form the correct foot in babies who are just starting to walk.
A large concentration of stores, an unlimited assortment and the ability to choose goods of different price categories make the "Owlet" quite popular among many parents in Moscow.
Fashion Center
The name itself already indicates which product groups are represented here. On a vast territory gathered branded boutiques of famous American and European brands. There are also shops with cheap Chinese products. Therefore, customers will always find their own clothes to taste and wallet.
Products from the category of fashionable clothes are presented by women's and men's assortment. There are things for fans of sports, business and street style. Both serious businessmen and modern youth go to dress in a fashion center.
In the same part of Savelovsky there are hairdressing salons and beauty salons. They are designed to finally complement the new image. This is very attractive to customers, along with the fact that several discount centers operate in the fashion complex, which can significantly save on purchases.
Computer center
One of the first wide selection of computer equipment in Moscow was proposed by Savelovsky shopping mall. Here, people could purchase either a completely new finished computer or assemble it in parts, which was always more attractive.
In addition, in this place they trade not only new devices, but also used ones. This makes it possible to save good money without much loss of quality. But at this moment you always need to be extremely careful, because inexperienced customers can be offered spoiled or counterfeit goods at a price worthy of the best samples of the same brand.
For this reason, the computer center attracts more professionals who are well versed in their field. Beginners rarely come here to buy even new equipment. Rumor has it that the administration of the shopping complex does not ensure that exclusively high-quality goods are sold on its territory.
Mobile center and repair of household appliances
By analogy with a computer center, a mobile pavilion operates on the territory of the Savelovsky shopping center. His specialization is a variety of mobile devices. These are telephones, and tablet computers, and GPS-navigators, and other pleasant technical details.
There is the same problem here as in the computer department: unscrupulous sellers can get a bad product at an overpriced price. Therefore, almost everyone recommends going here only with a knowledgeable person. Otherwise, you can significantly lose in money.
In both divisions, home appliance repair services operate. This is a particular problem in the mall. In addition to conscientious masters, outright scammers are also found. Not only do they not repair, they solder good parts and sell them later as used parts. Therefore, many here carry their gadgets with great apprehension.
Impressions of visitors
People in Moscow often visit the Savelovsky shopping mall. Reviews about it are rather mixed. Most praised children's and fashion departments. There, the quality of service is much higher and the goods are presented worthy of their price category.
But as regards departments with technology, things are much worse. Their reputation among visitors is not the highest. Therefore, not many conscious buyers decide to come here to buy a new device or repair an old one.
In general, the shopping complex is very popular. Thousands of people visit it daily in search of new and high-quality products. For the most part, they find what they came here for.
Where to go?
Almost everyone in Moscow knows where Savelovsky shopping mall is located. His address is: Suschevsky Val, Building 5, Building 1. But for most, it is known as a center near the Savelovskaya metro station. It is on the metro that the majority of visitors come here.
For those who decided to get to the center by car, his administration took care of convenient access both from Suschevsky Val and from Divintsev.
To visit the shopping complex is open daily from 10 am to 9 pm. Therefore, even people who are busy at work will find time to go to the boutiques and shops on Savelovsky.
Today Moscow without this shopping center will already be inferior. At this place, they dressed and bought household appliances in almost every apartment in the capital. And now there are a lot of visitors every day in the pavilions of the center, which indicates its considerable popularity.
