Four new tenants at the Grand Mall Varna

Orchid Developments Group Ltd, the Bulgarian focused property developer and investor, today announces that it has secured four new tenancy agreements at the Grand Mall Varna, an encouraging start to its 2012 marketing programme.

The tenants include a mix of international and local brands:

   --     Amigo, a Spanish kids fashion chain; 
   --     Swissiea, a franchisee of Geox, the Italian fashion shoe brand; 
   --     Bushman, an international outdoor and lifestyle chain; and 
   --     L Collection, a local women's fashion retailer. 

These new names join international brands Bershka, Carrefour, H&M, McDonalds, Mango, Nike and Zara to confirm the Grand Mall's leading status in the Varna lifestyle and retail environment.

The Grand Mall Varna now has in excess of 77.2% (38,300 sqm) of its total area leased. The four new tenants are due to start trading by the end of April, further enhancing the retail experience for the 20,000 people who visit the mall every day.

"We continue to make good progress letting the remaining space at the Grand Mall. We have secured four new fashion retailers who are complemented by the extensive dining, leisure and entertainment the mall has to offer."
