Unibail-Rodamco-Westfield (URW) has inaugurated the rebranded Westfield Černý Most shopping centre in Prague, featuring an extension that introduces new shopping, dining and entertainment experiences. With more than 30 new retail and restaurant offers and an expanded cinema experience, the destination now spans approximately 94,100 sqm and 180 units.


Jakub Skwarlo, COO Central Europe at Unibail-Rodamco-Westfield, said: "This is a milestone moment for one of Prague's most established shopping and lifestyle destinations. We are proud to combine the legacy of the centre, the first modern shopping destination in the Czech Republic, with the international appeal of the Westfield brand." The rebranding, combined with the extension, sets a new benchmark for retail, dining and leisure in the region.

The 9,100 sqm extension brings a curated mix of both new arrivals and existing tenants in enhanced formats. Among the highlights is the first Prague shopping centre location of JD Sports, and the full representation of LPP Group's fashion brand portfolio: Reserved, Sinsay, House, as well as flagship stores from Mohito and Cropp. Book lovers can look forward to the Knihy Dobrovský bookstore, while Xiaomi brings consumer electronics to the centre.

The heart of the extension is the new Dining Plaza, combining family-oriented design, comfort and sustainability. Unlike traditional food courts, this space integrates table-service restaurants, double-storey layouts and concepts such as the robotic restaurant iFood. Visitors can explore flavours from around the world, with culinary newcomers such as Popeyes, Dean & David, Banh-mi-ba, Musakka, Tom's Burger, Sakura's Running Sushi, Burger King and Koykan.

Westfield Černý Most is also setting new standards in cinematic entertainment. CineStar has been elevated with the introduction of a Boutique Cinema and a Gold Class complex, featuring three premium theatres with reclining armchairs, tables and plush cushions, a private lounge and bar, as well as in-cinema food service offerings. With only 30 seats per screen, this marks the first Gold Class cinema within a shopping centre in the Czech Republic.
