Auchan Polska has signed a lease agreement with Echo Investment for approximately 1,200 sqm of retail space at the Fusion mixed-use development in Łódź. The store is scheduled to open during the summer holiday period.
The new outlet will be located in a revitalised historic red-brick building within the former industrial complex of Karol Scheibler. Situated on ul. ks. Wincentego Tymienieckiego, the store will form part of the expanding retail and service offer at the Fusion development.
According to the tenant, the concept will combine a modern convenience retail format with references to the industrial heritage of the site. The interior design will retain original architectural elements, including exposed brick walls, while incorporating wood finishes, subdued colours and greenery. Large-format historical photographs referencing the site’s industrial past will also feature throughout the store.
The shop will include two traditional cash desks, one customer service checkout and four self-service tills. More than 50 parking spaces will be available directly adjacent to the store. The unit will have two entrances, including one from the residential section of the development.
Hanna Bernatowicz, Communications Director at Auchan Polska, said: “The commercial offer will include a wide selection of food products, including an extensive 0% non-alcoholic product zone and a premium segment. Customers will also find products from local suppliers, including the Czarnocin and Jogo brands.”
She added that the offer will also include a bistro area serving coffee, drinks and ready-made snacks, alongside an in-store bakery section.
Fusion is being developed by Echo Investment on the site of the former Scheibler textile factory in central Łódź. The mixed-use scheme covers approximately 8 hectares and will comprise 22 buildings, including 15 historic structures undergoing revitalisation.
The project includes residential buildings developed by Archicom, office space, retail and service functions, public spaces and green areas, including the Anna Gardens square.
Fusion received two awards at the MIPIM Awards 2025, winning in the Best Urban Regeneration Project category and receiving the Special Jury Award. The architectural concept for the project was prepared by Medusa Group.
