History
In July 2013, Jordanian newspapers reported that Irbid City Centre would open in phases, with an initial phase planned for late August 2013 and full operation expected by the end of 2013.[1][2] The same reports described the project as approximately 87,000 m2 across seven floors, with a total cost reported as exceeding US$70 million.[1][2]
In June 2013, the Jordan News Agency (PETRA) reported that Zain Jordan signed an agreement with the mall's owning company (Marseilles Real Estate Investments) to manage and operate the mall's internal telecommunications network, and PETRA described the complex as about 87,000 m2.[4]
Size and facilities
Jordanian press coverage in 2013 described the mall as a seven-floor complex with a gross area of about 87,000 m2, designed to combine shopping with leisure uses including restaurants and entertainment facilities.[2] PETRA's later coverage referred to the overall complex as about 100,000 m2 in scale when reporting on a major retail opening within the site.[5]
Retail
Carrefour (reported opening in 2013)
On 11 December 2013, PETRA reported the opening of a Carrefour branch at Irbid City Centre, describing it as approximately 10,000 m2 and noting employment linked to the operation.[5] Oxford Business Group's The Report: Jordan 2016 also listed Irbid City Centre Mall as one of the locations of a Carrefour store in Jordan.[6]
In November 2024, Reuters reported that Majid Al Futtaim, Carrefour's franchisee in the Middle East, suspended Carrefour's operations in Jordan and began replacing the brand nationwide with a new grocery chain called "Hypermax".[7]
