The largest Mydin wholesale hypermarket in the country is opening on August 15 in Bukit Mertajam, on mainland Penang.
The building, located next to the busy Jalan Baru in Prai, has a built up area of 1.16 million sq ft. It will have three floors of shopping mall, three levels of hypermarket, a food court and even a bowling alley.
The huge project with a development cost of RM230 million will also have a warehouse, hostel and five storeys of carpark for over 1,242 cars and 1,236 motorcycles.
The building, which is under construction and will be completed next month, is an open concept shopping mall. Its other amenities include a glass surau, and an alfresco dining area with urban landscape and water features.
Datuk Dr Ameer Ali Mydin, the managing director of Mydin Mohamed Holdings Bhd, said they were expecting to make RM15 million in sales a month, including from wholesalers and grocers who could buy at wholesale prices.
"We are expecting a lot of customers from the area, which is also seeing a lot of development," he said yesterday after a site visit by Deputy Finance Minister Datuk Ahmad Maslan.
Ahmad praised Mydin for absorbing the goods and services tax and keeping its prices low and affordable to consumers.
"We hope the opening of this outlet will give consumers relief as Mydin has always priced its goods at reasonable prices. Mydin has set the bar for other shopping outlets.
"Because of what Mydin is doing, other shopping outlets are also trying to offer competitive prices in order not to lose their customers. This is a good thing for consumers," Ahmad told reporters after the visit. – May 2, 2015.
