Obchodní centrum Letňany, also known as OC Letňany is a shopping mall located in the Letňany district of Prague, Czech Republic. With 130 shops and an area of 125000lk=inNaNlk=in, it is the largest shopping centre in the Czech Republic.[1] The complex was described by The Prague Post in 2001 as "one of the best malls in the city".[2] According to OC Letňany's marketing manager, over 10 million customers visited the shopping centre in 2008.[3]
OC Letňany became the largest shopping centre in the Czech Republic in 2006, when its third phase of construction increased its area from 65000lk=inNaNlk=in to 125000lk=inNaNlk=in.[4]
One of the principal stores at OC Letňany is Tesco, which opened on the site in 1999.[5] The store was remodelled in 2014, with its floor space decreasing from 11,000 to 8,000 square metres, owing to a new division between clothing and other products.[6]
A Cinema City multiplex cinema, a babysitting service,[2] and two indoor ice rinks, open throughout the year, are also located within the mall.[7] Letnany's food court features a wide variety of international options including Thai, Japanese, Middle Eastern, Chinese, Indian, French and Czech cuisine.[8] In 2011, plans were announced for a McDonald's as well as a car dealership to be added to the mall's facilities.[9]
The centre is served by a free bus service from the Letňany metro station on Prague Metro's Line C. Prior to the line C extension in 2008, the centre was served with regular buses from the Nádraží Holešovice metro station.[2] Bus stop Tupolevova is also located in close proximity to the mall, with local bus services.
