Shopping centre ''Valleta''

On November 21, 2009 the shopping centre „Valleta” celebrated its 2nd anniversary. Two years ago, on November 22, 2007, a modern shopping centre was opened in the centre of Valmiera – the shopping centre „Valleta” that has become a stable and recognizable symbol of the town.

History

Idea about a modern shopping centre in Valmiera was developed by the owner of the shopping centre – limited liability company „VRPB”. Since 1964 on the site of the shopping centre there was a canteen and a restaurant that became to be a department store after several stages of reconstruction. By following market changes and economic development, there was necessity for inhabitants of Vidzeme for a modern shopping place that could provide possibility to purchase everyday goods and obtain services for whole family in one place.  Thus „VRPB” Ltd. decided to reconstruct the department store „Valmiera” and create a new, modern, European level shopping centre instead. Construction works were started in January 2007. Together with construction of this object its owners – local entrepreneurs „VRPB” Ltd. – changed their business concept from food wholesalers and retailers becoming managers of real estate.
