Travellers at the Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) now have an extra shopping option to spend their time (and money) in between flights.
The Mitsui Outlet Park (MOP) at KLIA Sepang, located a mere 5 minutes drive away from KLIA and KLIA2, will open its doors to the public on 30 May 2015. The outlet park, a Japanese luxury goods outlet mall, will be the first branch in South East Asia (there are currently 12 branches in Japan), catering not only to tourists at the two airports but also locals in the greater Klang Valley area.
The mall covers around 25,000 square metres of retail space, which will house approximately 140 outlets when launched. It aims to be the largest outlet mall in South East Asia, with a total of about 250 stores and 44,000 square metres of floor space, when fully completed in 2021.
