Visitor Magnet in a Leading Shopping City

A popular hypermarket has been located at Wels-West for nearly 50 years. In 2005, SES expanded it to create a new, modern shopping center. MAX.CENTER unites leading national and international retail brands from all segments. Numerous restaurants and service outlets, as well as strong regional roots, complete the offer. Design and functionality combine with a pleasant shopping ambiance at MAX.CENTER. Extra-wide aisles, high ceilings, and huge glass surfaces create space and daylight. MAX.CENTER offers its visitors practical specials and services, for instance, a petrol station, car wash and e-filling stations on the parking deck that can be used while shopping. The center is one of Wels’ visitor attractions. MAX.CENTER comprises a well-balanced segment mix, popular brands, easy reachability, and a radiant feel-good ambiance.
