Midway Mall is the largest shopping center in the state of Rio Grande do Norte and one of the largest in the Northeast Region, located in the city of Natal. It has 231 acres (0.93 km2) with three large decks of the many services and shops, 13 anchor stores, 300 shops and seven satellite cinema multiplex network Cinemark stadiums with a capacity of 2140 seats and six floors of undercover parking and can accommodate 3,500 vehicles. Belongs to the Guararapes, whose owner also owns the network of department stores Riachuelo.
On April 27, 2009 - fourth anniversary of the mall - the venture opened its first expansion. The first phase of expansion is to the opening of the third floor with more than eighty shops in addition to bringing new anchor stores that had branches in the state such as Lojas Renner and Cotswold. The second phase - expected to start operating by the end of 2009 - refers to the opening of the Midway Hall, a music hall with a capacity of 3.5 thousand people. The second phase will open yet another food court, an area with six gourmet restaurants, plus some shops and probably a new parking garage. It is worth noting that with the expansion, the Midway Mall has the largest store Riachuelo in Brazil, since it expanded to the third floor.
