JOHOR BARU: Johor Premium Outlets (JPO) in Kulaijaya is set to open its doors to shoppers on Nov 11, or the auspicious 11-11-11 date. Genting Bhd senior manager (Strategic Investments) Jean Marie Pin Harry said that initially, JPO would offer about 80 branded items. “Shoppers will enjoy between 25% and 65% discounts on branded items all-year round,'' said Pin Harry .
He was speaking to reporters at the signing of a two-year agreement between Genting Property Sdn Bhd and Telekom Malaysia Bhd (TM) for the provision of TM's UniFi highspeed broadband services to all retail outlets at JPO. Genting was represented by Genting Property Sdn Bhd senior manager Beverly Goldman and TM Bhd by its Johor general manager Mohd Roslan Mohd Rashidi. It was witnessed by Iskandar Regional Development Authority chief executive officer Ismail Ibrahim.
Pin Harry said as a conglomerate with over 40 years' experience in the leisure and hospitality-related industry in the country, Genting would work closely with other parties to promote the JPO. “We'll tie-up with travel operators as well as with our Sentosa Resorts World to bring Singaporeans and foreign tourists to the JPO,'' he said.
The JPO is a 50:50 joint-venture between Genting Group's 54.6% owned subsidiary Genting Plantations Bhd and Premium Outlets, a division of US-based Simon Property Group. The RM149mil complex has a built-up area of 30,658 sq m and is located on a 17.8ha site. It is the first of its kind in South-East Asia. JPO will offer a wide selection of off-season branded items such as designer fashion, sportswear, children's wear, bedroom linen, jewellery, shoes and fashion accessories at discounted prices.
Meanwhile, Mohd Roslan said this was the first collaboration with a commercial complex in Johor under TM's Developers Programme. He said todate, it had collaborated with three Johor-based property developers to provide UniFi services to housing schemes.
