Why was Cap 3000 named Cap 3000? You might think it has something to do with its size, and you wouldn’t be entirely wrong. Cap 3000, right here before you, was a pioneer. Opened in 1969, it was one of the first shopping centers of its kind in France. It was inspired by the American shopping malls of that era. The name actually comes from the original capacity of its parking lot: a whopping 3,000 spaces! Today, Cap 3000 is so much more than just a shopping center. It has become a beloved landmark on the French Riviera. Locals and tourists alike flock here. Over the years, Cap 3000 has seen three expansions. It has transformed into a sprawling complex boasting over 300 stores. It has a diverse selection of 50 restaurants. Fifteen of these offer breathtaking views of the Mediterranean Sea. And yes, they even expanded the parking, offering 4,500 spaces now. In 2019, Cap 3000 underwent a major renovation, drawing inspiration from its seaside location. The new design incorporates flowing curves that mimic the movement of the waves. But a truly remarkable addition came in 2021: the Corso. This luxurious 8,000 square-meter space is home to over 45 premium brands and designer boutiques. Cap 3000 even boasts having the largest pharmacy in Europe! But beyond the impressive statistics, Cap 3000 is about experience. It’s about strolling along the 5,000 square meters of seaside terraces, soaking up the sun and the vibrant atmosphere. It’s about discovering unique stores. It’s about grabbing a delicious meal. It’s no wonder that over 10 million visitors enjoyed Cap 3000 in 2022 alone. As you explore Cap 3000, remember, you’re experiencing a piece of retail history that continues to evolve and enchant.
