An Omega medical centre is to be opened in Galeria Echo this June. Intensive fit-out work is currently in progress on the area acquired by the tenant.

Omega is one of the most popular private clinics in Kielce. Its medical centre in Galeria Echo is being developed over an area of 800 sqm. Omega will start offering its services in Galeria Echo in June. “Shopping centres in Poland are no longer facilities which you exclusively use for shopping, entertainment or recreation. In accordance with European and global trends, they more and more often include services which are not related with the core offer of the mall yet considerably improve customers" lives. A medical centre, a cosmetic clinic or a biological rejuvenation salon are more and more frequently located in shopping centres because they constitute an up-to-date response to the growing needs of the community. Last year we modified the layout of tenants in Galeria Echo, which provided us with a clear division into business lines and consequently a better and more comfortable area for our customers. We also introduced new, large brands: a JULA hypermarket and a new a Komfort outlet in its new format. The opening of the Omega medical centre will be another significant improvement for the people who come to our centre. We are currently working on novelties and preparing some more changes,” says Marcin Materny, director of Echo Investment"s Shopping Centre Department. The Omega medical centre offers: family doctors, occupational medicine, specialist consultations, psychological, laboratory and diagnostic tests, physiotherapy and nursing procedures. Galeria Echo is one of the largest shopping and entertainment facilities in Poland in terms of the number of shops. Its gross area amounts to 159,000 sqm, of which 70,000 sqm is leasable. Apart from over 250 shops and retail outlets its customers can also enjoy an extensive entertainment area including a 12-track bowling alley and the biggest fitness centre in the region, as well as a Helios multi-screen cinema. A huge fun room with an area of 300 sqm has been prepared for the young ones. Its multi-storey car park for 2,300 cars is a showpiece of the facility. It features a system of directing cars to empty spaces as well as a special function of reminding a customer about the location of their parked car.
