Johor Premium Outlets (JPO) Review
A dream come true for many Malaysians and Singaporeans, the JPO is strategically located for the convenience of both countries and those travellers passing through Malaysia.
For Singaporean shoppers, the Johor Factory Outlet is about half an hour’s drive from the Singapore Tuas Checkpoint or 2nd Link, while for those coming from Kuala Lumpur, it will be a three to four-hour drive from the city.
with discounts from 25% to 70%.
Many locals, foreigners and travellers would quickly take
advantage of our favourable exchange rate. After converting from the
Ringgit to Singapore or US dollars, it is also much cheaper than in many
other places worldwide.
When fully ready by early 2012, there will be a total of 130 shops within an area of 16,258 square meters
located at JPO, making this one of the top factory outlets in Southeast Asia to visit. Be prepared to spend at least half a day or a full day here too.
A writer from Singapore Times quoted that prices were pretty reasonable comparing the items here and in Singapore. Zegna ties, which cost S$290 each
at the boutique in Takashimaya, were about 55 per cent less at RM315
(S$130).
High heels from Salvatore Ferragamo, which typically sell for
S$790 here, cost RM1,040 (S$430) in the republic.
Prices are definitely lower but American brands like Coach are much cheaper in the US, noted a shopper who spent around RM700 (S$289) on a pair of sunglasses, a watch and a handbag at the JPO.
JPO retailers sell leftover stock from past seasons, while some items were exclusively made by the brands for their outlet stores.
Store managers said that some signature products are unavailable because they are outlet shops, meaning the latest designs will not be available here.
The best times to visit this place are during the festive holidays like Chinese New Year, Hari Raya, or Christmas because there would be even more discounts and promotions.
area of 44 acres and is situated in the middle of an oil palm
plantation.
The Johor Premium Outlets project is under the Genting Simon group is
a wholly-owned subsidiary of Simon Genting Ltd, which in turn is a
50:50 joint venture between Genting Plantation’s Azzon Ltd and Premium
Outlets, the outlet division of Simon Property Group.
The much talked about Legoland Malaysia opened in late 2012 and will blend well with the overall Iskandar project.
