TLV Mall in Tel Aviv is significantly expanding its culinary offerings with the addition of two new restaurant chains, Rapallo Group and Bagel Cafe, in an investment totaling approximately 8.5 million shekels (about $2.3 million USD). This move is part of the mall's broader strategy to enhance its brand mix and solidify its position as a leading lifestyle destination.
Rapallo Group, operating in Israel since 1993, will open its first flagship kosher Italian restaurant in Tel Aviv within the mall. This restaurant, representing an investment of about 5.5 million shekels, will span approximately 314 square meters with an additional 104 square meters for seating. Its opening is slated for February 2027.
Bagel Cafe, which currently has 15 branches across Israel, will launch its 16th flagship store at TLV Mall, an investment of approximately 2.8 million shekels. This new branch will cover about 72 square meters with an additional 16 square meters for seating. Construction and renovation are expected to begin in November, with a planned opening in January 2027.
Gad Stern, CEO of TLV Mall, stated that expanding the culinary and restaurant sector is integral to the mall's strategy to enrich its brand diversity and provide visitors with a broader, more varied, and up-to-date entertainment and leisure experience.
This expansion follows recent additions to the mall, including the return of international health food brand Oakberry, which plans to open 30 branches nationwide, and the opening of "Shufra Archive," a unique shoe store spanning 240 square meters, which required an investment of about half a million shekels.
