Żory is a city with over 60,000 inhabitants that has just acquired a modern shopping mall. On October 22dn this year, at 13, the first, modern shopping and entertainment center Galeria Wiślanka was officially opened.

Secondly - the gallery is practically 100 pct leased. - only two 50-meter flats have been left. Thirdly - the multiplex in Wiślanka is the only new cinema opened in Poland in 2020!
