Colosseum Mall strengthens tenant mix with Planeta Arthur Bookstore opening

Colosseum Mall announced the opening of the first bookstore concept, Planeta Arthur, a unique initiative on the Romanian book market, bringing together the entire editorial offering of ART Publishing Group, from children’s books to adult fiction, comics, fantasy, sci‑fi and classic titles.

The opening of Planeta Arthur is part of a series of recent launches in Colosseum Mall, in line with the strategy of consolidating and optimising the tenant mix. Following the recent opening of the dm drogerie markt store, the international brand Mr. DIY will join the lineup in the near future, with its store currently under development.

“The opening of Planeta Arthur is part of an ongoing process of optimising and diversifying the tenant mix in Colosseum Mall. We are focused on bringing concepts that are relevant to our community, and this launch, together with the recent opening of dm drogerie markt and the future launch of Mr. DIY, reflects the sustained pace of development and adaptation to our customers’ needs,” said Doinița Ilie, Head of Leasing, Colosseum Mall.

“We inaugurated the Planeta Arthur reading island in Colosseum Mall in 2024, which was a first step that allowed us to assess the potential of this location. Our conclusions confirm that this shopping centre serves a rapidly developing area, home to many young families, with optimal public transport facilities. In addition, the marketing campaigns carried out by Colosseum Mall have helped promote Arthur’s offering, making this location one of the most relevant in our network. Opening a concept bookstore in Colosseum Mall is a natural next step,” said Ciprian Constantin, Sales Director, ART Publishing Group.
