QUOTE(leetan33 @ Feb 11 2017, 11:00 PM) Source: http://www.enanyang.my/news/20170211/%E6%B...%AE%B6aeon-big/ Key Points:1. AEON BIG will close down three of its stores in Klang Valley in the next 30 days as their profit margins continue to remain under pressure after taking over the now-defunct Carrefour Malaysia four years ago. 2. The three stores are Kota Damansara, River City (Jalan Ipoh) and Bangsar South. After the closure, AEON BIG will have 22 stores in Malaysia. 3. Informed sources said AEON BIG will consolidate their business through closing stores. 4. The sources added that the impact of GST, low consumer purchasing power, high operation costs and increased competition continue to affect the performance of AEON BIG stores. They have crazy low prices, and crazy high salaries  Seriously the prices there are nuts.. and the quality is good too. This post has been edited by wodenus: Feb 11 2017, 11:25 PM |

QUOTE(~Sherlock~ @ Feb 11 2017, 11:25 PM) Don't see Giant blaming GST... or Tesco. They're also affected same as Aeon, but the other two cut costs a lot. |

QUOTE(~Sherlock~ @ Feb 11 2017, 11:29 PM) I believe its just a matter of time. Aeon has to raise prices a little.. it's crazy how cheap and fresh their stuff is Stand at the frozen produce counter at that hypermarket that shall not be named.. and you can smell the meat, it's slightly rotten because the freezer isn't cold enough at Aeon the meat packages actually have absorbent gel pads |

QUOTE(cedyy @ Feb 11 2017, 11:09 PM) not surprised they're closing down the kota damansara branch. not many shoppers even on weekends. but i'm surprised they'd close the bangsar south outlet. business looks good there They have two in Bangsar, there wasn't a point to it I guess. |

QUOTE(6216 @ Feb 12 2017, 12:43 AM) Wasn't there a big hue and cry when the started building the KD one before? Orang kata jangan.....buat jugak..... Everyone complains when someone builds something, and is quick to say "see, I told you.." if it fails. If it succeeds, no one says anything |

QUOTE(cringe @ Feb 12 2017, 08:29 AM) I'm as an Aeon staff also feel like Aeon stuffs are expensive. If u went to their groceries section. The prices are double from other supermarket. I rarely bought item at Aeon. Only buy when there is a promo. But yeah, so many rich customers went to shop at Aeon. They don't mind i guess with the price. Some of them trolley full with items. Which other supermarket, imma make a comparison now. I can't magine anything being cheaper than Aeon. This post has been edited by wodenus: Feb 12 2017, 03:59 PM |

QUOTE(radical85 @ Feb 12 2017, 07:53 PM) lol yesterday only my mom cursing aeon big say not gonna go there again. She said kononnya la got some super promotion very cheap but every time reach there liao got no stock. Better don't give promo if u so scared of losing money Yes it does happen because they are cheap, sometimes supplier underestimates demand..  but you can leave feedback in the box so at least the management is informed. |
