If there are many upmarket spenders in usj, summit usj would have traded up.

Shopping mall could be crowded during festival and school holiday but how many will sustain through low season?

Lack of famous and popular fast-food doesn't mean the mall is high class; more likely, these food boys don't believe the mall could generate enough traffic.

Many of pavillion and klcc shoppers are tourists, and tourists tend to spend more than locals. unless there is attraction or mall management pay tour operator to bring tourists, few tourists visit suburban mall.

lacking affordable and popular food outlets will deter many families from repeat visit.

People complained of expensive food price in dm are not dm intended customers.

Most if not all shopping mall are packed during holiday season, dm will be super packed during the cny week.

If a shopping mall could hardly attract neighbourhood crowd, how many outside neighbourhood will travel far to visit?

If nam heong rm2/plate customers are dm typical customers, it will be a challenge for dm to sustain as a high end mall.

Ya, it was packed to the brim the week before.

Don't need to waste time; if this place is busy, those with vested interest will post plenty of photos frequently else this place is a ghost town.

May be dm need dato joey yap advise quickly else usj people may call this place "gui men".

It is rare for boss to take long journey. While in Moscow, you won't be disappointed with Siberia Club and La Barge, worth checking them out.

If dm couldn't attract people during festive peak period, it will be a challenge to attract visitor during off peak.

Disrespectful?! You mean rub salt to the wound?

If dm couldn't attract visitor during peak festive period, how it could attract visitor during off peak period? How many shops can sustain through lean time?

MV may need not pay for world number 1 lion dance team to attract visitors during peak festive period but they still do. If DM is unwilling to spend to attract visitor during peak festive period, when should they attract visitor? During working hours and school days?

In restaurant and hotel franchise, owner/franchisee follow franchisor's sop, renovation, purchase, etc to give a consistent product. In shopping mall, franchise management have better experience in mall management, could attract but couldn't order/insist brands to open there. It is syok sendiri to expect dm to be like pavilion bb.

In every investment, there are always some if not many people blinded by greed; alternative opinion would give a balanced and realistic view so more wouldn't fall into the trap.

jolokia can convert these to speciality malls like Syrian, Iraqi, Afghan, Iranian, West Africa, Bangladeshi, Burmese, Vietnamese, etc. Very soon, need to build more malls.

Usj people were at work, school, kampung, sunway pyramid, empire subang jaua, ioi mall, on the way. You should go there when busy.

Those on the way was stuck in traffic jam. You know, usj is very ong area, quiet traffic no good for business, we should worry if no traffic jam.

WITH an expected 17 million sq ft of shopping space coming into the Klang Valley from now until 2019, industry experts are concerned that this will result in an oversupply situation.

Khong & Jaafar group managing director Elvin Fernandez says the local retail sector is already “shaking out” with the level of supply at hand.

“Kuala Lumpur already has an average all time high of 7.5 sq ft of retail space per person, more than the average for Singapore and Bangkok. Big shopping centres like Suria KLCC and Pavilion are about 1.2 million sq ft each and 17 million sq ft is a very big number.”

“Yes, it is a clear oversupply situation.”

If dm could only attract rm2/plate crowd, doubt restaurants or cafe with regular price could sustain for long.
