ECJ EUROPEAN Cleaning Journal

ONE HUNDRED restrooms, the Dutch company that aims to change the concept of the 'toilet break' in high-traffic areas, has recently opened a new facility in Barcelona, Spain - at the Maremagnum shopping centre.

The business now operates three locations in Catalonia and a total of 12 across Spain. ONE HUNDRED claims to turn a moment that is sometimes stressful due to a lack of adequate hygienic conditions into a moment that matters. It also tries to contribute to the prevention of potential health conditions - under the slogan 'Relieve, Refresh, Reload'.

The incorporation of the well-being restrooms - which will offer hygiene, comfort and permanent attendance of a comfort crew - is part of the investment and strategy Maremagnum is working on to become a benchmark shopping centre in Europe.

The new facilities, located on the ground floor, will have a toilet area for women, another for men, and the rest of the usual services such as the family and nursery room, health check station, and some new features that will be incorporated for the first time in the Maremagnum location. The restrooms will be fully equipped with state-of-the-art technology with contactless solutions and water-saving flushing systems.

Visitors of ONE HUNDRED Maremagnum pay for their toilet visit. In return they get well-being services, discounts in selected shops at Maremagnum and discount on self-sampling tests at the ONE HUNDRED vending wall. The aim of ONE HUNDRED is to stimulate visitors to take care of their health and well-being with innovative services. For the first time in Spain, the restrooms will have a so-called reload space, which is already available in Sweden and Belgium. Also, a
selection of self-sampling tests for health will be offered to visitors of Maremagnum.

The reload zone is a relaxation area with a massage chair and a screen with mindfulness exercises. The aim is to offer the user a space where they can relax from the stress of the day and replenish their energy. Health tests from Eurofins laboratory, ONE HUNDRED's new partner in preventive health, will also be available. They will be offered at the vending wall, which will be implemented by the end of this year.
