A leading sports retailer gains a foothold in Galeria Metropolia – EuropaProperty

UK retailer Sports Direct is to open a store in Galeria Metropolia, currently under construction in Gdańsk-Wrzeszcz, Poland. Cushman & Wakefield acted as the agent on the lease.

Founded in 1982, it already has nearly 700 stores across Europe, including about a dozen in Poland. Sports Direct offers a wide range of top sports brands, including Puma, Adidas and Nike, as well as its own well-known brands such as Lonsdale and Everlast. It will take up around 1,660 sqm in Galeria Metropolia.

“Sports Direct is the United Kingdom’s largest and first-choice retailer offering sports equipment and clothing. It is valued for quality and affordable prices. I’m pleased that Galeria Metropolia customers, undoubtedly including many outdoor enthusiasts, will have access to such a broad sports retail offer in addition to our large fitness club,” said the investor, Bogdan Górski, President of PB Górski.

Galeria Metropolia is part of a phased project developed by Przedsiębiorstwo Budowlane Górski in Gdańsk-Wrzeszcz, Poland. It will comprise the Galeria Metropolia shopping centre, a 126-room hotel and a conference centre. Developments in its vicinity also include Browar Gdański, a housing estate with more than 800 apartments, and Browar Kulturalny providing 20,000 sqm of service and entertainment space.

When completed, Galeria Metropolia will provide more than 34,000 sqm to its customers and tenants, including around 150 retail and service stores and stands spread over its four levels.
