Galeria Sandecja in Nowy Sącz, owned by Focus Fund, will welcome a new international tenant – MR.DIY. A lease agreement for a 745 sq m retail unit was signed recently, with the store scheduled to open in the second quarter of 2026. Galeria Sandecja is a modern shopping centre with a total gross leasable area (GLA) of approximately 17,500 sq m, offering customers over 70 retail, service and food & beverage units. The shopping centre is conveniently located at 170 Węgierska Street.
The shopping centre serves as a key retail and social destination for the residents of Nowy Sącz and the wider region, providing a comprehensive mix of fashion, specialist and everyday retail brands. Existing tenants include well-known national and international brands such as H&M, New Yorker, Sinsay, CCC, Pepco, Dealz, Deichmann, RTV Euro AGD, Vision Express, Cosmedica, Rossmann and Douglas, as well as Carrefour as the centre’s main hypermarket.
“We are very pleased to start our cooperation with FOCUS Estate Fund and Galeria Sandecja. Expanding our presence in Poland remains a key priority for MR.DIY, and the upcoming opening in Nowy Sącz is another important step in the consistent development of our store network. We believe that customers will quickly appreciate our value-for-money concept, wide assortment and convenient shopping experience, and that MR.DIY will become a place for their everyday shopping needs” – said Magdalena Nazarewicz, Business Development Director Europe in MR.DIY Poland.
MR.DIY is a well-established international value retail brand offering a wide assortment of household goods, DIY products, home décor, stationery and everyday essentials. The new store at Galeria Sandecja will further enhance the centre’s tenant mix, strengthening its offer and increasing its appeal to a broad customer base in the region.
Anna Yavdonich, Head of Marketing at Focus Estate Fund said: “The signing of the lease agreement with MR.DIY is another important step in strengthening Galeria Sandecja’s retail offer. We focus on attracting strong, recognisable brands that respond to customers’ everyday needs and drive footfall. MR.DIY fits this strategy perfectly.”
Galeria Sandecja also provides numerous customer amenities, including approximately 800 parking spaces, electric vehicle charging points, a food court area and a wide range of services.
The planned opening of MR.DIY in the second quarter of 2026 is in line with Focus Fund’s strategy of further developing and reinforcing Galeria Sandecja’s position as one of the leading shopping destinations in the region.
In addition to Galeria Sandecja, Focus Fund has recently strengthened its cooperation with MR.DIY through the opening of a store in Turawa Park, Opole, in October 2025, as well as the planned opening of a store in Eden Retail Park, located in Zgorzelec / Łagów, in the second half of 2026.
