Plaza Mayor is the largest mall in León, Guanajuato, the core city of Mexico's seventh-largest metropolitan area.
[1] Anchored by Sears and Liverpool, it will soon add a branch of the most upscale department store in Mexico, El Palacio de Hierro.
30,000 m2 (320,000 sq ft) Palacio de Hierro under construction, to open in 2024.
León is one of only eight metropolitan areas in Mexico to boast a full-line Palacio store, after twenty years of the mall seeking Palacio to build a store there.
The opening reflects how El Palacio views the maturing of the local market and growth in the higher-income segment, both in León and nearby in El Bajío[3] in cities like San Miguel de Allende, Celaya, Irapuato and the City of Guanajuato.
