[@dorinharibeiro2408]

I worked there for about 15 years. Is sad to see

[@weltvonoben]

What was your job there?

[@hiskdetok621cthulhu8]

What store did you work at?

[@m000Theevilcow]

The mall died due to the high rates they charged the store owners, without almost any people to rent out the spots the collapse was inevitable at the end only 29 stores were open so there was little customer traffic inside, ofc without revenue soon mall administration went bankrupt. .. no one in the area was surprised to see it closed. Also, the store owners never retrieved their stuff since they were told that some investors were interested in the mall but that never happened but they are still paying IMT (property tax) but can't go inside. The abandoned mall with poor to none lighting reminds me of Escape from Tarkov xD

[@ExploringtheUnbeatenPath]

Thanks for the info ! :)

OMG I do not believe. Seeing this mall makes me cry. I saw the best and worst of this shopping center, I never thought it was in this state nowadays. It had movie theaters, which closed long before all that, Macdonalds was the biggest upstairs upstairs on the right, it had a bowling alley and two gaming floors behind some stores on the 1st floor. that closed there nowadays, the owners opened in the street. And others never again. A sadness. Congratulations on your videos

[@distorted_raccoon]

These guys are living the best life. I wish they mever catch you. Keep living life like it has no limits. We all support you :)

[@ExploringtheUnbeatenPath]

Thanks mate, currently wanted and also having hard times because of the pandemic. But some cool videos coming up in the next weeks :)

[@terriray17]

Looks like a nice mall. Proabably woukd that three days to go through. They should have more things like an ice skating ring would have made money. Thanks for the tour.

Hi guys! It's a bitter sweet feeling to see this footage. I knew the place so well. Saw it openning and close. I don't know if you manage to see the other two cinema theatres and the big bowling hall. Thanks for sharing.

[@ExploringtheUnbeatenPath]

Must be hard to see then in this state :( Seems it's completely frozen in time now and nothing will happen. Yes we saw those but they were completely empty.

[@kanhdahar2]

when did it open and when did it close?

[@rolfsinkgraven]

This is how a dead mall should look like, great explore guys loved watching it.

[@OneBaldingWookiee]

the interior of this mall sort of reminds me of a cruise ship interior

[@jutosgrind]

You guys are so good at what you are doing, keep it up

[@excstasymode]

Hi! Thankx so mutch for posting. I worked there for 5 years, from 2000 to 2005 on the floor you sleeped... On a store of lingerie and socks. You guys recorded.. Its a complete shame that they closed for private interests.. Some owners of the stores are still paying it to the bank! The loans.. Can you believe it? ... And also we need it, because it gave work to so mano people... Because fixed this would work fine!!! GOOD times in there! Thankx

[@Mehh8_631]

Interesting, are you still working in retail? I do find it mind blowing how people are still paying the banks.

[@pedrogilcorreia]

This was the first IMAX cinema in Portugal and one of the firsts in Europe.

Hello, I do not know if you are still in Portugal but if you are a good place to visit is the cuf feed abandoned factory on the South bank (margem sul) At Barreiro, If you decide to go there be very careful because there are huge holes in the ground and on the outside there can be security guards

[@stefanamstel4700]

You mean the fisipe fibras sinteticas place?

[@kevxsi16v]

Crazy, the building is worth £millions if they just kept 2 security guards onsite to keep the building safe / look for roof leaks the building could of been saved or reopened

[@1991enduro]

Nice to see everything hasn't been looted and messed up and it's unlocked

[@m000Theevilcow]

It was already looted only the heavy stuff was left behind.

[@brendakrieger7000]

Really cool exploring!! Safe travels!

[@John_Smith__]

That's not a normal cinema, it's an IMAX cinema. The projection wall it's 26 meters ... huge projection and they also had 3D IMAX projectors and movies. That was one of the causes of the failure of the Shopping mall ...

[@ExploringtheUnbeatenPath]

It was the first Imqx in Portugal too. Didn't mention it because it makes it easy to locate :)

[@MacMelmac]

When i watch these videos, the same thought every time: What a waste of things and materials!

[@largol33t12]

The owners of the building wouldn't let any of the tenants retrieve their belongings and equipment. Crooks. I hope the building owners are bankrupt but I feel they are so rich they can afford to destroy people's entire businesses and feel no regret.

What a weird place, there is so very little natural light in this building….

[@shedmanx3640]

There is very little natural lighting in any mall. Apart from some atrium areas, usually in the food courts, there are no windows. They depend on artificial lighting.

[@jackdanila9893]

@@shedmanx3640 that's not true at all. In my city there are 3 big malls, and all of them have at least some natural lighting in every area. Except for the cinema area of course

[@FunStations]

Thank!! Best channel

[@DaveD2488]

In order for malls to survive and thrive they need to be by a busy highway and also has to be sounded by a big residential area, and lastly it needs to have other strong retail and businesses, restaurants around the parameter of the mall. I have 2 malls close to me that had this and they are thriving. A third mall didn't have this and the mall did not thrive and is now closed and demolished.

[@DaveD2488]

We recently had a mall that was demolished. It was these newest of all the malls in my area. It was only about 28 years old opened in 1992 and closed in 2020 then demolished in 2022 very sad.

How is there only 3 game machines there? Mortal Combat 3, Crypt Killer, and Basketball? I would either expect there to be a full room of games (abandoned with no access), OR no games at all (everything recovered by the owners)! Not just a few games machines .. that makes little sense!
