Polish brand joins tenants at the Plejada Shopping Centre in Sosnowiec as refurbishment continues

The scale of the changes taking place at Plejada Sosnowiec demonstrates that this is not an ordinary refurbishment but a comprehensive transformation designed to meet the needs of today’s consumers. The aim is to reposition the shopping centre and align its design and systems with the highest standards of functionality and energy efficiency. The decision on the best way forward was preceded by Cushman & Wakefield’s analyses of various scenarios for the retail scheme. The transformation concept was informed by market studies, including GfK’s surveys, which highlighted evolving consumer needs. In recent years, numerous housing estates have been developed near the shopping centre, with families raising children forming the majority of the local population. These consumers expect not only an engaging shopping experience but also access to user-friendly leisure and entertainment spaces.

These needs are being addressed through a two-year refurbishment plan divided into two phases. The first one, already underway, focuses on the closed section of the shopping centre, where a modern food court will be completed and a children’s playground added to fill a gap in Plejada’s offering. The second phase will include the renovation of the entrance façade and upgrades to the operating section of the retail scheme (ceilings, lighting, shopfronts, flooring and toilets), as well as the installation of new street furniture, breakout zones and refreshed interior colours. All the works are scheduled for completion in 2026.

The next brand set to debut at Plejada Sosnowiec soon is Worldbox, a concept developed by the CCC Group. Worldbox offers products in categories such as clothing, footwear and accessories from global brands, including Reebok, Puma, Hunter, Converse, Shaq, Vans, and Kappa. Its collections feature athleisure, sports and casual items for women, men and children. The brand aims to redefine the combination of style, the latest trends, functionality, durability and comfort. The company plans to expand the chain rapidly, targeting 1,400 stores, one of which – spanning over 500 sqm – will open at Plejada Sosnowiec this year. 

Plejada Sosnowiec boasts the largest retail offering in the city. This success stems from both its established position in the local market and consistent positioning as a leading retail destination in the region. The ongoing refurbishment reinforces this appeal, with both current and new tenants viewing Plejada not only as a stable business partner but also as a centre with strong growth potential and the ability to respond to evolving customer needs.
