Smáralind
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Smáralind is located in the middle of Kópavogur, Iceland. It is the biggest shopping mall in Iceland with over seventy shops, restaurants and services. It contains everything from a cinema and pharmacy to a Vínbúð alcohol shop, candy stores and restaurants. Smáralind was opened in October 10, 2001 at 10:10 GMT. Smáralind competes with another shopping mall, Kringlan in Reykjavík and Downtown Reykjavík. Kringlan, Smáralind and Downtown Reykjavík are just few kilometers apart so the battle for customers is hard.
[edit] Nickname
Immediately after opening, the mall gained the nickname the "Penis Mall" due to the building resembling a giant phallus when viewed from the air.
