During the late 1990sâearly 2000s several bigger and smaller shopping malls were opened in Miskolc and because of them, many small shops disappeared because couldn't keep up with them. The two largest shopping malls are Miskolc Pláza behind the Centrum supermarket and department store, close to Búza tér; with cinema and Szinvapark Széchenyi street, close from Centrum; the tram stops near it. There is a large supermarket and lots of different shops in both. Two smaller malls are Batóház and Metropol, opposite to Centrum. There is a new shopping mall Auchan on the main road to the east.
