Living in Romania 92. A visit to Aliss Shopping Centre, Forum Alışveriş Merkezį, Complex Ciuperca.

The second complex you visited is the Auchan Craiovița commercial center, managed by Ceetrus, a small gallery of stores next to the Auchan Craiovița hypermarket. The complex was opened in 2006 and now is eclipsed by the Promenada Mall - The one with the Altex Megastore and Dedeman and Carrefour hypermarkets - which was opened last year in Octomber 2023.

The greatest bazaar from Craiova is the one from Rovine, your neighborhood, named Oltenia SUCPI. There are several buildings with lots of small stores and about 4 supermarkets in the same perimeter. This place deserve his own video!

Been there and did a video on it (37). They didn't like me filming there! 😀

@@livinginromania Indeed, you have a clip with some aspects from Oltenia Sucpi, but is the 37th one, the one presenting the Lăpus neighborhood! :)

Thanks. I've corrected my comment.

It looked like many of the shop names have Aliss in them - as if it's an overarching brand they're all part of. That church in the background appears to have never been finished. The only reason I know about Mary Celeste is from an ancient Doctor Who episode, and then a little side reference in a Peter Capaldi episode.

Yes it's a clothing brand for wedding apparel amongst other items.

Yes, most of the stores from Aliss Shoping Center have the same owner, now that's only a kind of showroom for the Moda Aliss products. Moda Aliss is also present in several other malls and shopping centers across Craiova and several cities across Oltenia.
