Tenants One of the principal stores at OC Letňany is Tesco, which opened on the site in 1999. The store was remodelled in 2014, with its floor space decreasing from 11,000 to 8,000 square metres, owing to a new division between clothing and other products.
A Cinema City multiplex cinema, a babysitting service, and two indoor ice rinks, open throughout the year, are also located within the mall. Letnany's food court features a wide variety of international options including Thai, Japanese, Middle Eastern, Chinese, Indian, French and Czech cuisine. In 2011, plans were announced for a McDonald's as well as a car dealership to be added to the mall's facilities.
Transport Prior to the metro Line C extension in 2008, the centre was served with regular bus services from the Nádraží Holešovice metro station, with the closest bus stop being the stop Tupolevova, located in close proximity to the mall.
On 25 November 2002, a free bus service was set up to transport passengers to the shopping center. Originally serving the route from the Nádraží Holešovice metro station, the line was then shrunk with each extension of the metro line C to Ládví in 2004, and finally to the Letňany metro station on 10 May 2008.
The free bus service was eventually cancelled on 31 May 2017, as it was underutilized and did not serve any extra purpose from the regular bus services provided by the PID lines serving the area.
