There were enough shops to keep you occupied for 2 hours at least if you’re the shopper type. I did my rounds for kitchenware (Kitchen Shop Outlet), mid-range designer wear (Guess, Esprit), sports (Adidas, Under Amour), bedding (Akemi) and then went hunting for food.
This place will certainly become my next shopping ground when I am heading back to Penang as heading here is so convinient where it is directly located at the first exit on the left if you are coming from Penang island Second Bridge. Sad part is there are lack of many premium brands or maybe there will be in the coming months as current occupancy is like 50%-60% only.
The largest Premium Outlet Mall- Design Village Penang has opened its doors today (23 November 2016) at Bandar Cassia, Batu Kawan, Penang. Batu Kawan is one of the heaviest development zones by the Penang State Government at present, the island expects to receive great spotlight from the media over its vast development in the next few years and Design Village Penang is one of the huge projects. The mall that spans across 24 acre-land houses as much as 97 international brands; the location is strategic... only 5 minutes drive away from the Penang second link bridge (Sultan Abdul Halim Muadzam Shah Bridge). At present, only 50% of the shops are opened and the mall is expecting to run at 70% capacity in by end of December 2016.
