�鶹��ý

The shopping centre opened doors to the public for the first time on 30 August at 9 am. Noora Vänttinen, the Chair of the Board of Aalto University’s Student Union (AYY) officially opened A Bloc by cutting the ribbon.

“A Bloc will certainly influence the whole dynamics of the Otaniemi area, and will bring in long-sought-after options for lunch-time, evening and even for the weekend activities. We want A Bloc to have a truly Aalto community style and feel about it, so that it will become a place where everyone chooses to spend their time and meet up with others”, says Eetu Ristaniemi, Director of Real Estate Investments at Aalto University Campus & Real Estate. 

A Bloc is situated right in the centre of the �鶹��ý and its location makes it possible for the university and the shopping centre’s service providers to work more closely together. Some of the store concepts have been developed in co-operation with Aalto’s students.

The shopping centre increases the number of restaurants in Otaniemi. There are now multiple options for lunch and for dinner: sushi from Konnichiwa, falafels from Fafa’s, Napolitan pizza from Who the xxxx is Alice, poke bowls from Eat Poke HKI, as well as a vast array of options at the large �鶹��ý restaurant by Fazer Food & Co. In addition to restaurant services, Espresso House, Brooklyn Café and Jungle Juice Bar complement the variety of food and drink selection.

The long wait is over as A Bloc will also house an Alko store and Lab Store, a new concept store by Clas Ohlson. The shopping centre also includes grocery stores Alepa and K-Market, R-kioski and a pharmacy. A large Esport Aalto fitness centre fills up almost the entire second floor with its Les Mills THE TRIP -indoor cycling hall and HotStudio.
