Robert 0 Report post Posted September 9, 2008 I saw this in the Sun last monday and I'm trying to work out where exactly it will be. Does anybody know? Open concept shopping in KLIA Angela Sargunan PASSENGERS at KL International Airport (KLIA) can look forward to an open concept shopping experience in Eraman Malaysia’s “Lifestyle Mall” in the Contact Pier. The mall incorporates a mixture of contemporary design with a touch of local flavour with Malaysian batik as the main decorative element. Located near the aerotrain station, the mall, covering 30,000 square feet, is scheduled to open in November. “The mall is aimed at providing retail therapy catered towards an untapped market, specifically the Contact Pier passengers,” said Eraman Malaysia Merchandising Core Products division head Elina Jamaluddin (pix left) in a recent media briefing. She said the open ambience is to complement the airport’s greenery concept as well as the flora and fauna elements by ensuring the stores have see-through glass panels and innovative layout designs. “The RM5 million concept mall will become a trendsetter for airport retailing and is a perfect avenue to showcase brands and items ranging from fashion, accessories, duty-free items, books, chocolates and toys. “Besides adding new brands, the mall will be the first Malaysian travel retailer to launch Laneige, a Korean cosmetics range and Stila cosmetics. We are also promoting a home-grown home spa product, Tanamera,” she said. There will also be the Big Purple Story in a mega display by Cadbury. The Cadbury brand history since the 1900s will be displayed on the walls of the store to provide travellers the feel, touch and purchase enjoyment in a relaxed, vibrant ambience.

Nick R. 0 Report post Posted September 9, 2008 Assuming this is on both levels, International section will be after the immigration check before the aerotrain (near where the plane models).Domestic section will be the area going to gate A (or areas in between gate B side,walkalator,gate A side?)

Mushrif A 3 Report post Posted September 9, 2008 Open concept style shopping is probably like what you get & see at the domestic contact pier after u go down one level following the common security check. What will be interesting is the so-called jungle boardwalk at the satellite terminal. Finally, pax may soon really feel the forest in the centre area as opposed to just seeing it through glass.
