Risso Mall (Spanish: Centro Comercial Risso) is a shopping mall located at the 22nd block of Arequipa Avenue, in Lince, a district of Lima, Peru. The mall was inaugurated in 1968, and serves as a local landmark. It is owned by Compañía Inmobiliaria Agrem S.A., a real estate company, and managed by the Risso family.
History
[edit]The site was the original location of the Hacienda Lobatón's estate house, owned by brothers Roberto and Manuel Risso Diggione. A project to build a mall was commissioned by the latter during the late 1950s, with architect Jacques Granadino Roberts in charge of its design.[3] Construction began in 1966, and the mall was officially inaugurated in 1968, with anchor tenants Todos, Monterrey, Yompián, Labrousse, Marcantonio, among others.[3] During the Peruvian conflict, the mall's Todos store was firebombed by members of the Túpac Amaru Revolutionary Movement.[4]
The mall was remodelled in the 2000s, with new tenants Plaza Vea, Casino Fortuna and McDonald's opening their doors. A Cineplanet theatre opened its doors in October 2005.[5] It was again remodelled in July 2017.[1] A plan to again expand the mall was proposed by On Retail, a retail focused real estate company commissioned by the mall's owners in 2025.[6]
On January 9, 2020, textile merchant Isaac Hilario Huamanyalli was fatally shot by two Venezuelan hitmen while dining at the mall's McDonald's.[7] The pair were eventually identified and captured by police on January 11.[8][9] According to a law enforcement investigation, Hilario had been involved in a prostitution ring, likely being shot due to a dispute between two criminal gangs.[10][11][12][13]
