The planned retail complex on Lwowska Street (National Road 73) will feature a cinema operated by Cinema City Poland. This will be one of the first cinemas integrated into a retail park in Poland — a concept that until now has been reserved exclusively for shopping malls or standalone locations.
The investment demonstrates how rapidly the retail park format is evolving in Poland. These changes are particularly visible in three key areas.
First, scale. Modern retail parks are now significantly larger than projects of this type developed just a few years ago.
Second, tenant mix. Retail parks are increasingly attracting brands traditionally associated with shopping malls.
Third, functionality. Entertainment offerings, historically considered the domain of large shopping centres, are now becoming part of this format.
The Tarnów development is one of the clearest examples of this transformation.
The planned scheme will become the largest retail park in Tarnów. The complex, with a total GLA of approximately 35,000 sqm, will accommodate nearly 30 retail and service units. Confirmed tenants already include Lidl Polska, while the development will also feature a store operated by Agata Meble.
A key distinguishing feature of the project will be the inclusion of a Cinema City cinema. Cinema City Poland is part of Regal Cineworld Group, the world’s second-largest cinema operator. In Poland, Cinema City currently operates 35 cinemas across 21 cities and is recognized as a market leader in innovative cinema technologies that deliver a completely new viewing experience.
The new Tarnów cinema will be equipped with advanced digital projection systems and immersive surround sound technology. Visitors will enjoy comfortable screening rooms, exceptionally ergonomic seating, a broad food and beverage offering, and a diverse programme featuring both the latest blockbuster premieres and classic films that regularly return to the big screen as part of Cinema City’s special screenings.
