Colliers | Exceeding Borders : Retail Market in 13 CEE Countries Entertainment & Leisure Sector

In our latest Exceeding Borders for the retail and leisure sectors report, we take a look at the types of entertainment & leisure on offer in shopping centres across 13 CEE countries: Albania, Belarus, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czechia, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Romania, Slovakia and Ukraine.

The findings clearly indicate that the entertainment industry has been developing dynamically over the last several years. Shopping centre developers and owners are increasingly aware that an innovative and attractive entertainment offer is an indispensable part of each shopping centre, regardless of its geographical location.

The entertainment market in shopping centres are dominated by multiplex cinemas and fitness clubs, but there are also other concepts that are being added to the mix. These include concepts such as kids play centres, dance studios, bowling, escape rooms, trampoline parks, wellness centres and casinos to name just a few.
