FOREI2GN and local retailers, appearing to have confidence in the
spending patterns of Malaysians, are moving full steam ahead in opening
more outlets in the country.
This is evidenced not only by the soon-to-be-opened shopping center
Gurney Plaza in Penang, but also by the keen interest shown by British-
based Tesco and BIG Store Sdn Bhd.
Tesco is expected to open its first store in the fourth quarter of
2001 while BIG Store already commenced operations at two locations only
a few months ago. <
