The turnover of stores in the Central Tallinn Viru Keskus shopping centre totalled 1.56 billion kroons (99.7 million EUR) in January-September 2008, 3 percent more on year.
In the period from January to September, the centre drew more than eight million people, and the number of purchases also crossed the eight million line during the period.
Ants Vasar, board member of Viru Keskus, said the 13-percent growth was satisfactory in the present situation.
“Considerable fall can be seen in the analysis of the August and September figures. Considering that continued fall is expected in the economy, I find that at the end of the year we can be satisfied with a result that remains at last year’s level,” Vasar said.
In 2007, the turnover of purchases from Viru Center stores was 2.12 billion kroons.
