Australian brand Harvey Norman marked a new milestone with the official launch of its first superstore in East Malaysia today at Vivacity Megamall.
Established since 1982 in Australia with over 280 stores worldwide, the superstore here occupies a retail space of 46,806 square feet across two floors, featuring a unique retail experience in the country.
According to Harvey Norman’s managing director for Singapore and Malaysia, Kenneth Aruldoss, the group is creating a revolution in the way customers connect with products and brands.
“Consumers of today are changing — and therefore we have to change the way we do retail as well.
“It is a first-of-its-kind shopping experience with a huge range of merchandises spread over two levels of retail space. The range is current and of the latest,” he said in his speech during the official launch today.
