Location descriptions | Aarhus – Market Report 2019

Situated in the very city centre in connection with the main station, the shopping centre of Bruun’s Galleri has managed to retain fairly strong retail sales. According to an ICP (Institut for Center-Planlægning) survey of Danish shopping centres, Bruun’s Galleri had a turnover of approximately DKK 1.2bn, placing it just outside of the top-ten shopping centres in terms of turnover in 2017. Thanks to its location, many visitors to Aarhus are automatically directed through the shopping centre. In terms of footfall, Bruun’s Galleri therefore ranks number one in Denmark. Shopping centres outside central Aarhus include Storcenter Nord to the north and CityVest to the west. Both are well-functioning shopping centres that cater to the needs and requirements of the population in the immediate catchment area. The clusters of big box outlets, located around Tilst and Skejby, are less susceptible to changes in market conditions thanks to their ability to achieve synergies in a wider catch- ment area and their ability to offer a greater variety of goods. Their strategic location combined with the predominance of large, well-capitalised chains have cushioned them from large-scale vacancies. Major customer magnets in Skejby include IKEA, ILVA, Silvan, STARK and Elgiganten. In Tilst, the most popular big box stores include Bilka, Elgiganten, BAUHAUS, Babysam, Power and Harald Nyborg.
