POPULAR welcomed visitors to the grand opening of Popular @ IOI City Mall, Putrajaya (Phase 1, Level 2 – 43 and 44).
The brand new 836sq m bookstore has an interior design concept inspired by nature, specifically plant leaves and wood elements.
The opening ceremony commenced with a speech by Popular Malaysia general manager (business development) Siew Sheue Liang, followed by the ceremonial ribbon-cutting by Siew, IOI City Mall head of retail Chris Chong and Popular Malaysia operations manager Edward Liang.
“We’ve been associated with IOI Group for 25 years, since we opened our bookstore at IOI Mall Puchong in 1998.
“Hence, I would like to take this opportunity to thank IOI Group for trusting our brand and giving us the privilege to launch another bookstore in one of Malaysia’s largest malls,” said Siew in his speech.
