Mercursenteret

Mercursenteret is a shopping centre located in the Midtbyen district of Trondheim, Norway, at the intersection of Kongens gate and Nordre gate. It opened in autumn 2000 and focuses on fashion and lifestyle retail. The centre houses 28 shops, many of which are unique concepts in the city, such as Fretex Unika (now closed), Rookie, Bertoni, Mester Grønn, Mamoz, Briz, Zaphari, Wow, Tulla Fischer, and Demand and Supply. In addition, several well-known retail chains have branches in the centre. In autumn 2008, Mercursenteret became the first shopping centre in Norway to start its own blog on its website, and bloggers were employed to maintain it. The building itself dates from 1863 and previously housed the stock exchange, post office, and telegraph station; it was designed by architects Heinrich Ernst Schirmer and Wilhelm von Hanno. The centre is named after Mercury, the Roman god, and statues of Mercury are found both inside and outside. Outside the building stands a statue of speed skater and honorary citizen of Trondheim, Hjalmar Andersen. In 2004, the centre was bought by E.C. Dahls Eiendom, a company in the Reitangruppen, which also took over operations in 2007 after Amfi had managed Mercur since its opening. In 2007, Mercur had a turnover of approximately 220 million NOK. In 2020, the Mercur building was converted into offices with space for shops and eateries on the ground floor.
