Centro Maya is Open!!

kittiekat · 07-12-2006

It is a great day for me because I have been anxiously awaiting this opening!!

Centro Maya, Playa's new mall has opened today! It is located on Hwy. 307 across from our new hospital, Hospiten.

It is a beautiful new mall and the anchor grocery store, Soriana, is fully stocked and open for business. Of the other 100 stores that are promised, only a handful are open now.

I love that Soriana has a salad bar!!

There are signs on each space with the name of the future tenant and there are lots of them!! We also saw a large food court- not yet open though.

It is impressive and I can't wait to go back!
Here are some photos.

Yippee!!! I am SO excited about Soriana! And it looks like a bunch of other great places will be there too. Excellent photojournalism there, Kittie - thanks!

Hey Heather and Barb, Know you both love office supplies- well, we saw a sign for OFFICE MAX.

Only because we live close by and we have been waiting and watching- knowing it was getting close to opening!
Randy ran out for some errands and came back in saying, "Come on, it's open!" So, I grabbed the camera and off we went!!

Most of my photos were blurry- I was so excited, I couldn't steady the camera!!

A real mall right here in Playa. Yes, I know there will be many posts from those that cry because Playa is changing and they don't want a mall here.
That's OK- you don't have to go- many of us "locals" are really happy to have more options for shopping.

Man, my Michael is such a crab. He won't take me after work because he thinks it's going to be mobbed. Men! Hmmph!

JEZ · 07-12-2006

If supermarkets keep opening at the current rate, we will soon have more superstores than silver shops!

**Mindbender** · 07-12-2006

Thanks for the photo scoop!

My earlier post lists the shops. Not all of the ones in the list and shown on the actual 'awaiting' shops are finalised.

FYI: Centro Maya also built 'La Isla' in Cancun and 'Paseo del Carmen' at the start of 5th. They also own other shopping centres around Mexico.

I bought something at Mega that I thought was going to be like Cool Whip...and it was, if Cool Whip was thick and tasted faintly of sweetened lard.
