The group of tenants of Galeria Libero, which is being developed by Echo Investment in Katowice, has been joined by Lancerto, which is to open its outlet with an area of 100 sqm. The shop of the brand will also be opened in the new section of the Galaxy shopping centre in Szczecin (140 sqm) and the company prolonged its lease in Outlet Park Szczecin. The two parties signed contracts during the ReDI fair in Warsaw.

“Lancerto SA has been consistently implementing its strategy of expansion in the shopping centres which have the strongest position in a given region in Poland. Echo Investment"s portfolio includes projects which fulfil our criteria, that is why we can announce the signing of two leases concerning Galeria Libero and the Galaxy shopping centre; we are also extending our lease in Outlet Park Szczecin. In accordance with our strategy Lancerto is not meant to be a chain with the greatest number of outlets in Poland but the outlets will be distinguished by their high quality. We put the strongest emphasis on the care which our clothes are sewn with and their functionality while customer service is of utmost importance for us in our outlets. We want this shopping experience to be unique and we have been continuously working on this. It is a great challenge in Polish market conditions,” says Tomasz Ciapała, president of the board at Lancerto SA. “The offer of the Lancerto chain will certainly enjoy the interest of customers looking for classic and casual men"s fashion in Katowice and Szczecin. These are our next contracts which result from extending our cooperation,” says Tomasz Domoń, head of commercialization in Echo Investment"s Shopping Centre Department.
