With 8 malls and counting one could say Sofia is oversupplied. Several are now located close to underground stops (Mall of Sofia, Park Centre and Paradise) - for others you will need a car or go by bus. In general all malls have a good mix of international and local brand names, most have decent restaurants and a supermarket and some have cinemas, bowling alleys and other entertainment options. All offer reprieve from extreme weather summer and winter alike without ever being too busy (except for Black Friday and leading up to Christmas.
