The Kharkiv shopping and entertainment center Nikolsky has reached a new milestone — 40 million visitors since its opening. The landmark event took place on Friday and became another confirmation of the center’s stable operations and strong engagement from both residents and guests of the city.
The 40 millionth visitor was Sniżana, a resident of Kharkiv. To mark the occasion, the mall’s administration presented her with a shopping certificate worth UAH 40,000, which can be used in any store within the shopping center.
“Behind every million visitors there is not just statistics, but the real life of the city. For us, it is essential to preserve a space where people come not only for shopping, but also for a sense of openness and connection with the city. The fact that Nikolsky continues to be such a place is the most valuable result of our work,” commented Maksym Havriushyn, Chief Operating Officer of Budhouse Group.
Nikolsky Shopping and Entertainment Center opened on May 21, 2021 and is one of the largest malls in Ukraine. The total area of the complex is 106,000 sq m, including 53,000 sq m of retail space. The center hosts more than 150 stores, and its architectural concept was developed in collaboration with Ukrainian and international specialists.
Despite the challenges of wartime and damage sustained in 2022, Nikolsky continues to operate and develop, maintaining its role as one of the key centers of urban life in Kharkiv.
