Much to the delight of locals and foreigners alike, Tirana has been enriched with several malls or smaller shopping galleries over the past two years. The launch of the QTU centre along the Durres highway in 2005 was a revolution in itself – the complex is large, has a good supermarket, underground parking and a free shuttle bus. In early 2006 the Galeria mall raised the standard and QTU hit back with a small new mall in the bllok area. Albania's first proper and large mall will open in 2010.
