JOHOR BARU: The Johor Premium Outlets, initially touted to open on 11.11.11, will now start operations on Dec 2.
The upscale outlet will feature more than 80 designer and branded stores offering factory prices with daily discounts of between 25% and 65%.
It is expected to be officially launched by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak on Dec 11.
State Tourism and Domestic Trade committee chairman Hoo Seong Chang said he was surprised by the change as everything seemed to be geared towards the Nov 11 date.
“Anyway, they may have their reasons as the Prime Minister will be overseas in November.
“I hope to find out when I meet them,” he said, adding that the state government was upbeat about the huge tourism potential of JPO.
Hoo revealed that tourist arrivals into the state had increased by more than 480,000 in the first six months of this year compared with the same period last year.
“So far, we have had about 8.3 million tourists with Singaporeans constituting about 70%,” Hoo said.
Among the designer brands that have confirmed their presence at JPO are Adidas, Armani, Brooks Brothers, Burberry, Canali, Coach, Esprit, Ermenegildo Zegna, Gap, Guess, Michael Kors and Nike.
