Tashir Opens a New RIO mall in Tver

Tashir Group has announced technical opening of the 21st RIO mall. The new RIO shopping centre in Tver with the GBA of 45.5K sq m will become the city's first conceptual mall comprising some of the leading federal and international brands. There are over 90 tenants working in the mall.

The two-level RIO mall is located in Gagarina square in one of the most populous districts of the city, namely Moskovsky district, officially inhabited by about 120K people. The mall is located at the junction of two traffic arteries: Moskovskoye Highway and Ordzhonikidze Street. Customers will enjoy convenient approaches to the mall and the parking lot for 316 vehicles.

Anna Obraztsova, COO, Tashir group, says: “For people living in Tver, RIO shopping centre is a good alternative to Moscow's malls, both in terms of tenant stores and entertainment options. The new RIO is a perfect place to shop and have fun and so is well positioned to become a new community centre for the city”.

RIO mall's anchor tenants include supermarket Perekrestok, home electronic appliances store Eldorado, kids’ goods supermarket Detsky Mir, Nash Dom store selling household products, and a furniture store.

The fashion gallery offers Zolla, Respect, Kari, Crocs, Paolo Conte and many other brands. The city's first Pandora jewelry store will be there, too. The entertainment component features a modern five-hall Cinema Star cinema, PlayLab kids’ entertainment centre, and five food court operators, including Burger Club, Subway, Tashir Pizza, Skovorodka, and KFC.

Tashir group not only developed the mall, but also renovated the World War II victory monument in the city. The new colonnade fits the architecture of Moskovskaya Zastava Square harmonically, thus becoming one of the city’s key landmarks.

Starting from the opening day, the new RIO will host the city's first sand sculpture exhibition. The grand opening ceremony is scheduled for October 2015.
