TopShopping

TopShopping (also known as Top Shopping Nova Iguaçu) is a shopping and cultural center located in the city of Nova Iguaçu, in the Baixada Fluminense region of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. It opened on 28 October 1996 and is notable for being the first shopping mall in Nova Iguaçu and the second in the Baixada Fluminense. The mall is situated in the city center, next to the Nova Iguaçu City Hall, and has become a reference point for shopping, leisure, dining and cultural events in the region. The complex comprises three floors of stores, a dedicated cinema floor and three parking levels with a total of 1,173 spaces. Its gross leasable area (GLA) is 34,317 m². The mall hosts a Kinoplex cinema with six screens, including 3D rooms, with a total capacity of 1,316 spectators. Over the years, TopShopping has positioned itself as the city's first major cultural events center, hosting gastronomic festivals, dance performances and even combat sports events such as the tenth edition of Gringo Super Fight, an MMA tournament held in 2014. In 2018, TopShopping began allowing pets accompanied by their owners, becoming one of the first malls in the Baixada Fluminense to do so. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the mall served as a testing and vaccination point against the virus, and for a long time was the only location in the city to offer drive-thru vaccination. The mall frequently partners with the municipal government for public campaigns and services, including pet adoption fairs, handicraft exhibitions and official vaccination points. In May 2024, the construction company Marcellino Martins acquired TopShopping from the former owner, ALLOS, for 111.5 million reais. The new management announced plans to build 10 new stores in the mall, including gyms and restaurants. TopShopping remains an active shopping center serving the population of Nova Iguaçu and the surrounding Baixada Fluminense region.

TopShopping was inaugurated on 28 October 1996, becoming the first shopping mall in Nova Iguaçu and the second in the Baixada Fluminense region. Located in the city center, the mall originally had three floors of stores, a dedicated cinema floor and three parking levels with 1,173 spaces, with a gross leasable area (GLA) of 34,317 m². On 22 November 2016, TopShopping underwent an expansion process, enlarging its facilities from 18 thousand square meters to the current 34 thousand. This expansion provided more shopping, cultural and gastronomic options for visitors. The expansion work also helped revitalize the surrounding areas, including improvements to asphalt, sidewalks and new traffic lights around the mall. The expansion also brought the current Kinoplex cinema rooms, with a total capacity of 1,316 spectators across 6 screens, including rooms for 3D films. In 2018, the mall began allowing pets accompanied by their owners, becoming one of the first shopping malls in the Baixada Fluminense to permit the presence of pets. TopShopping is known for hosting various cultural events over the years, establishing itself as the city's first major cultural events center. The mall has promoted gastronomic festivals, dance performances and even combat sports events, such as the tenth edition of Gringo Super Fight, an MMA tournament in the Baixada Fluminense held in 2014, which featured fighter Evangelista Cyborg. During the COVID-19 pandemic, TopShopping became a testing and vaccination point against the virus. For a long time, it was the only location in the city to offer drive-thru vaccination. The mall has also experienced security incidents. In July 2017, six armed criminals invaded the mall to rob the Samsung store, stealing electronic equipment such as smartphones and notebooks; there was an exchange of gunfire with security guards during the escape, but no one was injured. In November 2022, the official Vasco da Gama store was also targeted by a robbery; criminals used a decoder to open the doors and took a large portion of the products available in the store. In July 2024, a group of 13 people were trapped in an elevator due to an electrical failure; they were rescued by firefighters after more than an hour. In February 2025, a man stole 30 pairs of wedding rings from a jewelry store inside the mall. TopShopping is located next to the Nova Iguaçu City Hall and frequently serves as a partner for actions aimed at the city's population. The space has been used for various public campaigns and services, including pet adoption fairs, handicraft exhibitions and as an official vaccination point, especially during public health campaigns. This proximity facilitates the population's access to important municipal initiatives. In May 2024, the construction company Marcellino Martins acquired TopShopping from the former owner, ALLOS, for 111.5 million reais. The new management announced plans to build 10 new stores in the mall, including gyms and restaurants.
