Kanyon HaZahav (Golden Mall) in Rishon LeZion has launched a new floor, an expansion representing an investment of 100 million shekels. The new "Platinum Floor" spans approximately 12,000 square meters and opened in late September, bringing the mall's total area to about 122,000 square meters, making it Israel's largest. The launch event featured numerous social media influencers and a large-scale marketing campaign, including a "Golden Cage" attraction where visitors spending 500 shekels or more in the new stores could win prizes.
The new floor, which opened to the public from November 8-12 for the launch event, currently houses around 30 stores, including international anchor stores and flagship locations. Brands already present include Victoria's Secret, Itay Brands, Adidas, Shoo-Foo, Parfois, and Flying Tiger. The mall management reports an average of 25,000 daily visitors.
Optimism is high among store employees regarding the new floor's potential. One employee noted the mall is already one of the strongest in the country and anticipates increased traffic, especially with the upcoming arrival of Zara. Another employee mentioned a noticeable rise in foot traffic in recent weeks, with expectations of further growth when Zara opens a larger, two-story branch in March 2027.
Shoppers expressed satisfaction with the mall's extensive offerings, including numerous stores, brands, and children's play areas, describing it as the best in the region and a regular destination. The mall plans to open an additional 12 kiosks during 2027. The international brand Zara is set to relocate from the first floor to a larger, two-story space on the Platinum Floor in March 2027.
