Shopping Malls

São Paulo, economic center of Latin America, is a wide shopping area. The main international and national best brands stores are spread out in the Shopping Malls of the city.

However, those who think that the Shopping Malls are simply places for buying things are wrong: the gastronomy, the cinemas and theaters make them large culture and leisure centers.

Check below a list of some of the most popularly known Shopping Malls in São Paulo:

Luxury

The gathering of international best brand luxury stores is the main focus of Shopping Malls Cidade Jardim, JK and Iguatemi. Besides brands like Armani, Chanel, and Tiffany & Co., each center has special stores: Cidade Jardim hosts the only Lego store in SP, while Iguatemi has unique boutiques from stylist Diane Von Furstenberg and shoe designer Christian Louboutin.  Now at Shopping Mall JK Iguatemi, a new luxury place in the city, there are TopShop and Miu Miu, which are already consolidated all over the globe.

Tradition

Opened in 1976, Shopping Mall Ibirapuera is one of the oldest in the city. Besides the stores, it offers a great gastronomic variety; with fast food options that range from good restaurants affiliated to exclusive ones like Mr. Fruit’s, an special fresh fruits market.

With wooden tables and benches surrounded by over 140 kinds of plants, the outdoor’s boulevard from Shopping Mall Pateo Higienópolis is the perfect place to rest and enjoy coffee or tea after a shopping day. Indoors, the same floor has a food square, six cinema rooms and Teatro Folha.

Located in one of the most traditional neighborhoods of the city, o Mooca Plaza Shopping Mall offers a selection of stores for all audiences. The place also offers a beauty salon and pet shop, which allows visitors to walk around with their pets freely.

The only establishment of this kind located downtown, Shopping Mall Light occupies, since 2007, the building Alexandre Mackenzie – inaugurated in 1929 and currently proclaimed as a historical landmark. It has 134 stores and it also holds expositions, exhibitions, dancing lessons, live music and theatrical plays. Every Sunday, for instance, from 2pm to 3pm, there is a free children’s play. Now, from Thursdays to Sundays there is a handcraft fair that gathers different techniques and products.

Leisure and Culture

Located on the West side of town, Bourbon Shopping Mall has department stores, sports articles and electronics, and a supermarket. The highlight is its cultural offer: it has 10 cinema rooms, a theater for 1400 people and a large affiliated store from Livraria Cultura.

Morumbi Shopping Mall customers enjoy lots of technology. A conceptual store of electronic products offers futuristic appliances for demonstration; and another, an outdoors sports articles store, has a zero degrees Celsius simulator.

North Region

Established in 1984, Shopping Mall Center Norte is the most famous one of the region. The traditional center gathers stores from all kinds, like electronics, appliances, sports wear, kid’s fashion and jeans.

Besides everything that it can offer, Santana Parque Shopping Mall has ecologically right features, like the use of natural lights from skylights, taps that avoid water waste, composting centers and oil recycling, and a water treatment for reuse.

Shopping Mall D, founded in October 1994, has easy access through Marginal Tietê and it offers over 200 stores, with the most solid brands from national retail. With a flow of over 1 million of visitors per month, it is known for quality and a large variety in several sectors, among them are: fashion, furniture and decoration, technology and gastronomy (there are 2 food courts, 18 options of fast food and 3 restaurants).

Shopping Malls – Metrô (Subway)

There are some Shopping Malls linked with subway stations. Inaugurated in 1997, Shopping Mall Metrô Tatuapé is the oldest of these kind and it is connected to Tatuapé station of the Red Line of the subway. Just as its neighbor Shopping Mall Boulevard Tatuapé surprises everyone with its diversity in stores, cinema and other gastronomic options.

Still on the subway’s red line, Shopping Mall Metrô Itaquera has 200 stores in an area of 43 thousand m², food court, cinema and a parking lot with over 2 thousand spaces.

Now on the blue line, visitors have Shopping Mall Metrô Santa Cruz, founded in 2001, and Shopping Mall Metrô Tucuruvi, inaugurated in 2013. Both have large food courts, several stores and 3D cinema rooms.

Paulista Avenue Region

Considered to be the city’s heart, the region of Avenida Paulista has different styles of Shopping Malls. The most sumptuous of them is Pátio Paulista: in its front there is a clock of 5 meters in diameter, manufactured in Boston, United States, and inside the mall there are international brands stores, unique coffee shops and employees that speak English.

Shopping Mall Center 3 is the one with the easiest access, once it’s located right in the middle of Avenida Paulista. Its gastronomic offer is composed of several fast food networks and exclusive restaurants, with their own areas, besides candy stores and cafes.

Next to the hype in the Baixo Augusta region, Shopping Mall Frei Caneca relies heavily on culture, hosting theaters Frei Caneca and Nair Belo, the Escola de Atores from director Wolf Maya and nine cinema rooms.
