Unirea Shopping Center is increasingly looking like a mall asall major fashion names are lining up on the ground floor andradically changing the look of the old universal store.
From one end to the other, Zara, New Yorker, Berksha, Douglas arelined up, with Stradivarius, Pull & Bear and H&M set tojoin them this year. Yet, what are the few small retailers that areleft in Unirea doing?
"Since Berksha also opened on the ground floor, we are also faringbetter. We hope the new openings will have a favourable impact oversales," says a vendor.
While owners are either too busy, or unwilling to talk, or believeany statements would only be baseless projections, shop clerks aremore optimistic.
All of them are speaking of rising traffic. None of them, though,is providing any figures on the number of visitors, which revolvesaround "several tens".
During the week, the Bucharest store sees 35,000-40,000 visitorsdaily, with the number rising to 50,000 people at weekends,according to market sources.
