The former Simka chocolate factory in Vranje becomes a shopping mall

The former Simka chocolate factory in Vranje becomes a shopping mall.

A shopping center will be built on the site of the once famous Simka chocolate factory from Vranje.

This can be seen from the urban project that the City of Vranje put on public presentation.

The urban project involves the reconstruction, rehabilitation, adaptation and conversion of the production facility at KP number 6429/1, cadastral municipality Vranje 1, between Omladinskih brigada Street and Nikola Tesla Boulevard, which is the location of the Simka factory.

The client of the project, i.e. the investor, is Dunja d.o.o. food industry from Belgrade, under which the chocolate factory in Vranje also operated. Dunja doo has been owned by the Sabac-based company Candy Rush since three years ago.

The project is designed by the company Crna Trava from Leskovac.

The location in question, as stated in the project, consists of a built-up cadastral plot of 9,872 m2, with a production building of 5,352 m2 and an auxiliary building of 14 m2.

The plan is to convert the existing production facility into a facility for the needs of trade - a goods and trade center, according to the project documentation.

The future shopping mall will be composed of three parts - a commercial part, a warehouse and an administrative part, and 78 parking spaces are also planned.

The commercial building will span around 5,500 m2.

The public presentation will last until May 17.

Back in 2021, when CandyRush became the owner of the company Dunja doo, and thus of Simka, for RSD 187.9 million, the confectionery company from Sabac told eKapija that by the end of the year they plan to restart the production of the popular chocolate, and they also announced the possibility that Simka, instead of Vranje, is made in Sabac in the future.

The news that Simka will relocate to Sabac was confirmed in the summer of 2021 by the mayor of Sabac, Aleksandar Pajic, who said that the value of this investment is around EUR 8 million and that with the arrival of Simka, 120 new job posts will be opened for the people of Sabac.

In addition to that, the company Candy Rush operates within the framework of the group gathered around the parent company Rim Group doo-Belgrade.
