Nine years after opening its doors, Veranda Mall enters its most exciting chapter yet. What began as a project to breathe new life into the Obor neighborhood has evolved into one of Bucharest’s most beloved destinations for shopping, leisure, and connection. As it marks this anniversary, Veranda unveils a winter events lineup rich in culture, generosity, and celebration, proof that the mall’s story is as much about people as it is about retail.
“For us, the anniversary is not just a milestone, it’s a reminder that our mission has always been to grow with the community,” says Andreea Manole, Marketing Manager, Veranda Mall. “We’ve seen Obor transform in remarkable ways over the past decade, and we’re proud to have played a part in that transformation.”
A new chapter of growth and reinvention
Since opening in 2016, Veranda Mall has remained deeply connected to the Obor neighborhood, growing in step with the community it helped revitalize. Nearly a decade later, the shopping center continues to evolve, adapting to the city’s changing rhythms and residents' everyday needs.
This year marks a new phase of development, featuring a mix of local and international brands that add both convenience and diversity to Veranda’s offering, making every visit smoother and more enjoyable. Recent openings include Wendy’s, marking an important milestone in the American brand’s Romanian expansion; BioBlu; Tucano Coffee; Original Barber Shop; Parisielle; Cato; and Saniour, a Lebanese restaurant that adds a new culinary note to the food court. E-Sushi has also recently opened, enriching the mall’s dining scene with a Japanese touch.
Animax has also expanded its store, and together with the newly opened Fressnapf, Europe’s leading pet retailer, reinforces Veranda’s position as a pet-friendly destination that welcomes all members of the family - including the four-legged ones.
Looking ahead, Millomania, a new Tabac Xpress store, and the Compas Bookstore will further expand the experience, ensuring that each visit feels fresh and full of discovery.
“We’re constantly curating experiences that make people want to stay longer, whether that means a new dining concept, a creative workshop, or a family event,” adds Andreea Manole. “Shopping should feel effortless, but the experience should always surprise.”
