Kringlan (Icelandic pronunciation: [ˈkʰriŋlan]) is a shopping mall located in the Icelandic capital region.[2] It is the second largest in the country, after Smáralind in Kópavogur, with over 180 shops and restaurants.[3] It was constructed in 1987, and includes a Hagkaup supermarket, a library, a theatre, a cinema, as well as a selection of well-known restaurants and retailers.

Kringlan lies on the busiest traffic intersection in Reykjavík. Icelandic state television RÚV’s headquarters are also nearby. Reykjavík City Theatre lies adjacent to the shopping centre.[4]

Kringlan has some department stores which are H&M, Hagkaup, Next, 66North and Bónus.

On 15th June 2024, a fire broke out in the shopping mall's roof.[5] Due to the fire, it had to remain closed until 20th June.[6]

It was featured in the film Dreamland (2010).[7]

Name

The name is derived from the Kringla marsh or Kringlumýri [ˈkʰriŋlʏˌmiːrɪ]. A literal translation into English could either be 'circle' or 'pretzel', though the mall is neither circular nor has it anything to do with pretzels.[original research?]
