Austrian-owned Alphapark will open a HUF 2.2bn shopping centre in Keszthely (W Hungary) in March, managing director of the project company in charge of the investment Mihaly Toltl told MTI.
Almost 90pc of the 15,000 square metres of retail space in the centre have been rented out, said Mr Toltl. DYI chain OBI is renting a 6,000-square-metre space, he added.
The shopping centre will be Alphapark’s second in Hungary. It opened another in Sopron (NW Hungary) at the end of 2007. The centre was expanded in the summer of 2008 to 16,000 square metres.

Really good news for us around Héviz.
Now we don’t have to drive 30 km to Zalaégerszég to buy crappy chinese stuff from Praktiker, we can drive 5 km to Keszthely to buy crappy chinese stuff from OBI!
According to the 1st comment above, it seems there’re a lot of
lovers of Chinese crap here in Hungary…
Maybe Chinese companies sell only craps to Praktiker or OBI,
because Praktiker or OBI managers think people deserve these
craps!?
A rose, is a rose, is a rose.
Crap, is crap, is crap..it comes from China in bucket loads and is sold everywhere.
Caveat emptor..buyer beware!
