Today, all activities in Kaunas Akropolis have been renovated, except for restaurants and entertainment venues.
“As the stores reopen, the safety of visitors and employees continues to be a priority. We remind shoppers that during the entire visit to Kaunas” Akropolis “it is mandatory to follow all security requirements established by the Government. to ensure the safety of employees, at the initiative of Kaunas Akropolis, a COVID-19 test point will be installed, where the personnel working in the facilities of the merchants of the shopping center will be able to verify ”, said Brigita Kuodytė, manager of the Akropolis. of Kaunas.
According to her, the first day of operation of the renovated shopping center passed without problems, the visitors were kept up to date and met the security requirements established in the shopping center.
There are 250 different operators in Kaunas Akropolis. As of April 19. all stores opened except restaurants and some entertainment venues. The latter are not yet operational due to government quarantine restrictions in force in the country. There are 15 restaurants in Kaunas Akropolis, 8 of which currently offer take away service. Due to the longer preparation time, the Forum Cinemas cinema in the mall plans to resume operations in the next two weeks. The virtual entertainment venue “X pramogos” also opened its doors.
B.Kuodytė stated that normally the highest traffic flows in the shopping center are observed on weekdays from 17 to 19 hours. This trend does not change during the quarantine period. “Therefore, we encourage visitors to the mall to plan visits to Kaunas” Akropolis “in advance and to go to the mall during business hours, when smaller customer flows are observed,” said the manager of Kaunas “Akropolis” “.
When asked how to manage customer flows, B. Kuodytė replied: “The safety of the mall employees and visitors is our priority. Once the shopping center resumes its operations, the flow of visitors is constantly regulated both in the premises of the shopping center and in the premises of the tenants.
In order to fully guarantee the safety of people, before resuming the activities of Kaunas Akropolis, we have installed an innovative flow regulation system, which allows real-time monitoring and, if necessary, regulation of the flow of visitors at the mall. In accordance with current government requirements, when the area of the shopping center per visitor is 50 m2. The mall can accommodate up to 1,600 visitors at a time.
As the number of visitors approaches the established limit, the shopping center will use physical protection, which will regulate the access of visitors to the Kaunas Akropolis facilities at the entrances to the shopping center. Currently, the shopping center has doubled the security resources for the regulation of visitor flows and the control of buyers regarding compliance with the requirements set by the Government (maintenance of distances, not collected, proper use of masks ). This ensures that the mall will not generate more traffic than is allowed. On the other hand, the tenants of commercial premises are in charge of the physical control of the regulation of the flow and the marking of distances ”.
B.Kuodytė states that most of the visitors who come to Kaunas “Akropolis” follow the safety recommendations and come shopping alone, do not gather, respect distance restrictions and wear protective gear.
