Plaza Mayor (shopping center)

Plaza Mayor is the largest mall in León, Guanajuato, the core city of Mexico's seventh-largest metropolitan area. It has gross leasable area, of which is retail floor space, and has parking for 2,500 cars. Anchored by Sears and Liverpool, it will soon add a branch of the most upscale department store in Mexico, El Palacio de Hierro.

Plaza Mayor is anchored by:

• Sears full-line department store
• Liverpool, a full-line department store, which has plans to expand to
• West Elm, U.S.-based furniture superstore
• Innovasport, a 100+-store Monterrey-based chain of activewear and sporting goods superstores
• Sanborns junior department store and restaurant
• Cinemex multicinema
• Best Buy was an anchor until the company closed entirely in Mexico

Palacio de Hierro León

Plaza Mayor will soon add a ca. 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 in cities like San Miguel de Allende, Celaya, Irapuato and the City of Guanajuato.
