Informator reports that several once-popular Kyiv shopping centres — Ocean Plaza, Blockbuster Mall and Sky Mall — are losing tenants and footfall. The outlet says the decline is being blamed on inactive managers and internal 'cannibalism' between centres, prompting a gradual shutdown of outlets. These three complexes have been major shopping and leisure hubs for Kyiv residents; a continued exodus of tenants could change local retail options, reduce jobs and leave larger vacant spaces in city neighbourhoods. Shoppers and workers may notice fewer services and events in the affected malls over time.
