“It will certainly be the most modern supermarket offering consumer electronic goods in Silesia. We are the unquestionable leader of the industry and we create shops offering the latest technologies which are ahead of European and global trends. We continuously improve our outlets in terms of the form of presentation, the offer of products as wells the quality of service and distribution channels. Comfort, convenience and customer satisfaction are most important for us,” says Marek Skoczylas, director of the real estate department at Media Saturn Holding Polska. Media Markt is an international chain of specialist electronic supermarkets. There are currently more than 800 shops of the brand all over Europe and they offer a broad range of multimedia, ICT and photographic equipment as well as household appliances and audio & video equipment, modern sports electronics, music, film, office devices and accessories. 35 years of experience and the scale of its operations make Media Markt the European market leader. “Media Markt is our proven partner that we have been cooperating with for many years. It is also a very strong and recognizable brand, which sets market trends. I am convinced that such a renowned tenant will add signification value to the offer of Libero and our shopping centre in Katowice will in turn provide it with a location that guarantees business comfort and development possibilities,” says Marcin Materny, director of Echo Investment"s Shopping Centre Department.

Apart from shops and service outlets as well as some of the most important chains and a supermarket, the shopping centre will also include a very extensive entertainment and gastronomy offer which will consist of a 8-screen cinema, a snooker club, a play area for children, squash and badminton courts, restaurants offering access to a terrace. The company is planning to create the broadest entertainment and sports offer in the region.
