AFI Palace Cotroceni shopping center in Bucharest recorded gross sales of EUR 370 million in its first two years of business in Romania, with a total of 50 million visitors, according to the shopping center’s representatives.

The shopping center will celebrate two years of activity in Romania on December 1 with several events, including concerts featuring Romanian artists, fireworks and switching on the Christmas lights.

AFI Palace Cotroceni hosts 250 stores, a 20-screen cinema with Romania’s first IMAX, two casinos, a 1,000 sqm ice-skating rink, bowling and pool, and has a total of 3,000 parking places.

A survey conducted by Colliers International earlier this year shows the AFI Palace Cotroceni shopping center is the most popular destination for shopping in the capital, followed by Baneasa Shopping City and Bucuresti Mall.
