OC Futurum Hradec Králové

OC Futurum Hradec Králové is a shopping centre located in Hradec Králové, in the northwest of the Nový Hradec Králové cadastral area within the Malšovice city district of the Czech Republic. It opened on 22 November 2000 and is one of four Futurum shopping centres in the Czech Republic, alongside OC Futurum Brno, OC Futurum Ostrava and OC Futurum Kolín. The centre is anchored by a hypermarket that originally was operated by Carrefour; after Carrefour withdrew from the Czech Republic in 2006, Tesco took over its operation. Roughly one third of the centre's area is occupied by this hypermarket. The complex also includes a Cinestar multiplex cinema, which opened on 25 October 2001 and was at the time Cinestar's first open multiplex in the Czech Republic. A food court zone with multiple food vendors and self-service dining is part of the centre. Between 2011 and 2012 the centre underwent extensive reconstruction and modernisation. Its total built-up area was increased from 24,000 m² to 35,000 m², and the number of shops rose from 70 to 110. In this expanded form it is the largest shopping centre in the Hradec Králové Region. According to the official website, the centre today offers 105 shops, 21 restaurants and cafés, and 1,350 parking spaces. Transport access is very good: the centre lies on the busy Brněnská avenue, which connects to road No. 35. A public transport stop named "Futurum" is directly by the centre, served by trolleybus and bus lines 1, 2, 4 and 21. Nearby stops include "Moravské Předměstí I" (lines 1, 2, 4, 18, 21, 27), "Masarykova" (9, 18, 25, 27) and "Mrštíkova" (9, 25). The parking house has 1,350 spaces. The centre hosts a mix of fashion, electronics, jewellery, cosmetics and other retail brands, and runs regular promotions and seasonal campaigns. Its website lists current store offers and events, and the centre maintains a presence on Facebook, Instagram and YouTube.

OC Futurum Hradec Králové opened on 22 November 2000 in the Malšovice city district of Hradec Králové, in the northwest of the Nový Hradec Králové cadastral area. It was developed as one of the Futurum shopping centres in the Czech Republic, a group that also includes OC Futurum Brno, OC Futurum Ostrava and OC Futurum Kolín. From the start, roughly one third of the centre's area was occupied by a hypermarket. This hypermarket was initially operated by the French retailer Carrefour. When Carrefour withdrew from the Czech market in 2006, Tesco took over the operation of the hypermarket. On 25 October 2001, a Cinestar multiplex cinema opened within the centre. At that time it was the first open multiplex of the Cinestar chain in the Czech Republic. The centre also included a food court zone, a common area adjacent to multiple food vendors providing space for self-service dining. Between 2011 and 2012, OC Futurum Hradec Králové underwent a large-scale reconstruction and modernisation. The total built-up area was increased from 24,000 m² to 35,000 m², and the number of shops grew from 70 to 110. Following this expansion, the centre became the largest shopping centre in the Hradec Králové Region. In the years after the reconstruction, the centre continued to operate as a regional retail destination. Its official website presents current store offers, events and practical information. According to the website, the centre today comprises 105 shops, 21 restaurants and cafés, and 1,350 parking spaces. The site also lists a Cinestar cinema with daily screenings and a range of seasonal promotions from tenants such as Beverly Hills Polo Club, Yves Rocher, Yankee Candle, GrandOptical, H&M, Klenot Aurum and others. Transport accessibility has been a key feature: the centre lies on the busy Brněnská avenue connecting to road No. 35, with a dedicated public transport stop "Futurum" served by trolleybus and bus lines 1, 2, 4 and 21, and several other nearby stops. The parking house provides 1,350 spaces.
