History
Shopping da Bahia was inaugurated in 1975, the result of a dream of businessman Newton Rique. It was the second shopping mall to be built in Brazil and the first in the North and Northeast regions. Located strategically in the Caminho das Árvores neighborhood, a noble area of the city with high consumption power, it is surrounded by clinics, medical offices, and offices, forming part of the financial center of the Bahian capital. It is a few meters from the Bus Terminal and near two metro stations, one of which is interconnected with the mall.
