“We had to come”
Before noon, the temporary market at Marywilska Street was visited by many visitors, who focused mainly on the clothing assortment. The food zone was also very popular. The beauty zone also offers services.
– We had to come when we found out that Marywilska 44 was reopening. Will the stores we used to shop at return? Let's hope they have survived and have been reborn. We will definitely come here and support this place financially – said a regular customer of the shopping complex.
Another emphasized that she came to the market out of curiosity. – Previously, there was a lot of good quality assortment here, Polish brands at good prices. We'll see if it will be similar now – she added.
One of the sellers in the temporary town indicated that the merchants were optimistic. – The president, the staff at Marywilska, everyone approached us with all their hearts. It was a huge loss for us, millions of złoty were burned. I had three boxes in the hall, I could have gotten two containers, but I didn't want to. Let everyone get one, because these are hard years of work for these people. The most important thing for us is for customers to come, and we'll all manage the rest – she emphasized.
1.4 thousand points burned
The Marywilska 44 shopping complex burned down on May 12, along with over 1.4 thousand service points. The cause of the fire is being investigated by the prosecutor's office. The city offered help to the sellers, offering them places at city bazaars. In turn, the company leasing the land from the city undertook to build a temporary hall from containers as soon as possible.
