Plaza Mayor (shopping center)
Plaza Mayor is the largest mall in León, Guanajuato, the core city of Mexico's seventh-largest metropolitan area. It has 117,000 m2 (1,260,000 sq ft) gross leasable area, of which 70,000 m2 (750,000 sq ft) is retail floor space, and has parking for 2,500 cars.[1] Anchored by Sears and Liverpool, it will soon add a branch of the most upscale department store in Mexico, El Palacio de Hierro.
Plaza Mayor is anchored by:
- Sears full-line department store
- Liverpool, a full-line department store, which has plans to expand to 27,000 m2 (290,000 sq ft)
- West Elm, U.S.-based furniture superstore
- Innovasport, a 100+-store Monterrey-based chain of activewear and sporting goods superstores[2]
- Sanborns junior department store and restaurant
- Cinemex multicinema
- Best Buy was an anchor until the company closed entirely in Mexico
Palacio de Hierro León
[edit]Plaza Mayor will soon add a ca. 30,000 m2 (320,000 sq ft) Palacio de Hierro under construction, to open in 2024. León is one of only eight metropolitan areas in Mexico to boast a full-line Palacio store, after twenty years of the mall seeking Palacio to build a store there. The opening reflects how El Palacio views the maturing of the local market and growth in the higher-income segment, both in León and nearby in El Bajío[3] in cities like San Miguel de Allende, Celaya, Irapuato and the City of Guanajuato.[4][5]
