UNO Shopping is the name of a shopping center that opened in 1990 in the Linz suburb of Leonding . In 2008 it was the eighth largest shopping center in Austria with a sales area of 32,000 m². The UNO Shopping was closed at the end of 2016, but reopened in autumn 2017.
The location of the shopping center is characterized by its close proximity to Plus City , the largest shopping center in Upper Austria. Both are located on the south-western Linz arterial road, the Kremstal Straße (B 139), lined with numerous other wholesalers and retail parks, and can be reached with lines 3 and 4 of the Linz tram .
The WU restaurant, a tobacco shop and heatness GmbH, which offers infrared heating, are currently in the UNO shopping area. The HappyFit fitness center and the used car dealer Kneidinger are located in the adjacent building .
history
The UNO Shopping opened in Leonding on October 16, 1990 - one year after Plus City, which was just a few hundred meters further in the municipality of Pasching , with which it was in constant competition. Starting in 1996, this competition led to a kind of proxy war in the planned expansion of the shopping center in the Lentia 2000 residential and commercial complex in Linz .
When the shopping center there was bought by the owner of Plus City, the Uno Shopping owner bought an apartment in Lentia 2000 and was the only one to vote against in the subsequent votes on an expansion of the shopping center, which must be unanimously approved by the residents. There were several lawsuits in this case, in which the owner of the UNO Shopping was found guilty of disrupting the expansion of his competitor's shopping center, for which he ultimately had to pay damages.
After the expansion in 2005 and 2006, UNO Shopping itself had a total area of 44,000 m² and an annual turnover of 145 million euros, which, however, is still well behind Plus City. In the two expansion stages, investments were primarily made in the infrastructure. The resulting multi-storey car park and a new parking deck defused the previously often tense parking lot situation and shortened the access routes for customers.
In 2008, Bank Austria subsidiary Real Invest took over the shopping center from the founding family, Handlbauer.
Since 2009/2010, tenants have gradually left the UNO Shopping. At the end of August 2012, two more large tenants, Interspar and Hervis , moved out. At the end of August 2014, Media-Markt moved to Plus City, so the shopping center was empty except for a pharmacy and a tobacco shop. As of December 2016, the shopping center was completely empty. In addition to over 90 retail companies, the UNO Shopping also housed a large number of restaurants and entertainment venues, as well as a 570 m² children's area. The UNO Shopping provided work for around 750 employees.
After the construction of a new bypass, UNO Shopping is located at an individual traffic junction that can accommodate up to 20,000 vehicles per day. The tram lines 3 and 4 have passed the UNO Shopping from the Linz train station since February 2016.
The Mühlviertel real estate developers Josef Hofer, Hubert Wagner and Joachim Pawelka acquired the center in 2017.
On September 19, 2017, UNO Shopping reopened on 19,000 m² with two outlet stores Bilgro and 7 Fashion Pop-Up . The Bilgro beverage market and the "7 Fashion Pop-up" store closed again, however.
The 5000 square meter shop Allinn7 opened at the end of 2017 and closed again in February 2018.
future
On December 18, 2018, the OÖ Nachrichten reported that a Hornbach market was to be built on the UNO Shopping area in 2019. Furthermore, a grocery store is to move in.
An e-kart track is to be opened in UNO Shopping in August 2019 .
