every other MALL like place start simple - TCM and Curve also started rather quiet BUT they were already on the main road.

the thing about SSTWO Mall (yes, that's the name. not SS2 Mall) is that it's right smack in a housing area. Sorta like an area where you'd see a school rather than a mall.

If this was SimCity then SSTWO Mall is like 5 squares from the main road, not a good thing.

Now it's as if the mall itself is catered for SS2's residents only.

If you're coming from Bangsar direction - option 1 is TCM, next up is 1U, further up is Curve and if they go further there's Sunway Giza Mall. Either way all are on the main road. If go LDP, then after TCM is KJ Giant.

SSTWO Mall is sorta like ATRIA in location - main difference is that ATRIA though anchor tenants moved out, they still have restaurants and a grocery shop, and pretty much still supported by the heaps of offices around.

SSTWO on mall on the other hand is just supported by residents and given a choice - they're rather go to the other 3 big ones nearby. Oh yeah reminds me of BU Center Point, pretty much dead until recently seems better.

Perhaps a fast-food chain would help - McD is certainly more appealing that Old Town (lousy small portion food).

break down all the walls and turn it into a skating rink / paintball arena / futsal court.

the biggest competition is SS2 square itself. pracrically everything is there, from banks to restaurants.

they could do better if it was office units.

SS2 so big, you wouldn't know unless you pass that road.
