Subang Jaya Giant hypermarket gets new life


By Farah Wahida:

The Giant hypermarket in Subang Jaya, Selangor will reopen today following the completion of a RM80million renovation that lasted nearly two years, according to GCH Retail (M) Sdn Bhd, the supermarket’s owner and operator.

The former one-storey outlet was redeveloped into a three-level one-stop shopping centre, with anchor tenant Giant hypermarket now occupying almost 80,000 sq ft, said Ian Cruddas, Commercial Director at GCH Retail.

Notably, the shopping complex was the first local hypermarket in Malaysia and was known as the Giant Cash & Carry during its opening in April 1994. However, its owner decided to redevelop it in 2010.

“The needs of our customers have evolved over the years. So have their tastes and shopping habits,” noted Cruddas during the opening preview of Giant Hypermarket yesterday.

“We assigned our team to create and design a new mall that would offer complete retailing solutions in a holistic manner to cater to everyone in the family including the young and the old.”

Thanks to its significant makeover, Giant Subang Jaya Mall will continue to be the choice one-stop shopping destination for Subang Jaya residents as well as those from nearby areas, said the company.

Beside Giant hypermarket, the shopping complex also houses 60 other tenants, which offer various products such as apparels, beauty care, hi-tech gadgets, food and beverages and financial services.

Cruddas revealed that GCH Retail eyes seven new Giant outlets this year and will also upgrade 15 existing Giant outlets in Malaysia.
