Plaza - Open but not finished!

You're not going to mess with these security guards!

Plaza - the eagerly awaited new shopping centre has just opened its doors to the Toruń public. To be honest, it is a bit of a disapointment. Builders are still visibly working on the last minute finishing touches and only about 50% of the shops are actually open at the moment and the ones which are (e.g. C&A, Reserved, H&M, Home&You, etc) already have shops elsewhere in Toruń. There is also a brand new cinema...but it's also Cinema City which also already exists here! The only new additions worth getting excited about were the arrival of Subway and Zara to town!

As you can also see from the photos Media Expert were offering huge discounts on their electronic goods...which resulted in mass queues. Poland has become a consumer-hungry nation like everywhere else!

Suppose we will have to wait until late next year to get excited when the new Solaris shopping centre opens - complete with Marks & Spencer and Burger King!
