should just emulate NSK or hero market. dont need to renovate lawa2, just make sure the price is cheap, tons of variety. giant doesnt appeal to both atas and marhaen people.

but i guess it is too late already.

problem is not everybody like that
people with some money don't go NSK, they'd go AEON
which is why aeon survive until today

there is a market for each segment of people but nothing last forever in supermarket

other market is big player makan small player
supermarket is new player makan old player

not exactly true, i went to usj branch opening, plenty of people purchasing musang king there.
just because people have money, doesnt mean they will spend like nobody business. not all rich people act like atas people.
*
aeon isn't exactly atas place at all
aeon also got divided into 2 kinds of aeon....higher end and lower end

but still, for me...those are not atas supermarket yet
some people just priortize the environment they shopped on


u want real atas supermarket...go kota kinabalu, there is a supermarket there called tong hing, that's a real atas supermarket for only the rich
normal people only go inside window shopping

im toking jaya grocer and village grocer here for atas people shopping. aeon is a level below. i cant imagine anything higher class than this, but then again the top elite will always have other people to do their shopping anyway, they can source it from anywhere.
*
the jaya grocer in lalaport has quite a crowd inside buying
even i bought something there
from fruit to sauce
i just bought apples there...RM2.1 each...outside sell RM10 for 4-6, sounds reasonable to me

that's not even the most atas supermarket i've been to yet

Imported fruits, standard la tu

But TBH, there are many replacement fruits available, plus Avocado is dirt cheap in Indon

it's dirt cheap in indon, it's not cheap in MY...definitely not in sabah
even local one is quite expensive already last time i saw it

and u say it's imported and it's standard?
do u see that RM26.2 blueberry....guess how much it is in KL....RM6-RM7.9
