Ishøj By Center is a pleasant shopping centre and a natural meeting place for residents in the area. This is mainly due to the architecture providing a large, covered area with shops and restaurants connecting Ishøj Station, a hyper market, the hotel, library and the town hall with the surrounding residential areas.

Every day, almost 20,000 people pass through Ishøj By Center. This means a total of 6.9 million people a year which makes Ishøj By Center one of the most frequently visited shopping centres in Denmark. The shopping centre is always full of life due to the continuous flow of people. Some are on their way to the S-train and others come to meet friends, shop and have a bite to eat.
