PENANG, Malaysia, Sept. 27, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Klippa Shopping Centre, Ikano Centres' meeting destination in North Malaysia, is delighted to introduce its "Klippa Kan Kawan" campaign – an open invitation to the Batu Kawan community as well as Penangites, and neighbouring states to join the centre in creating meaningful connections and offering an exciting array of deals and promotions.

Klippa as your Welcoming Friend

Derived from a Swedish word that encompasses both 'rock' and 'friend', Klippa is more than just a retail destination; it embodies the spirit of a welcoming friend, reflecting the brand's vision of building meaningful connections. As new families settle into their homes, students embark on their educational journeys, and professionals build their careers within the Batu Kawan Industrial Park, Klippa is committed to tailoring experiences for everyone in the community and beyond, including Penangites, and neighbouring states.

Klippa's goal is to create fun, exciting, and convenient experiences on every visit. The centre offers a variety of snacking options, cosy hangout spots, and budget-friendly meal deals for students and working professionals at tenants like Kejap Food, XiXiang Kaya Kopitiam, Zus Coffee, and more. Klippa's exciting F&B drive-thru concept caters to the convenience of busy professionals and families with drive-thru lunch options and effortless access to well-known food brands like Kenny Rogers Roasters, Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf, A&W, McDonald's, KFC, and many others.

For families residing in the area, Klippa offers a variety of essential home-focused tenants, including Mr DIY Plus and Harvey Norman. Moreover, the centre houses a full-fledged supermarket, TMG Plus, known for its extensive selection of fresh groceries and dry goods, all priced affordably to meet the diverse needs of every shopper.  

To enhance the experience for Klippa's friends or 'kawan-kawan' from across North Malaysia, the centre strives to enhance their visits to IKEA Batu Kawan, ensuring that visitors can make the most of their day out.

Natasha Aziz, Head of Brand Experience & Communications of Ikano Centres said, "Klippa envisions itself to be more than just as shopping centre, we have the ambition for Klippa to become the hub of the growing Batu Kawan township. We first opened Klippa in 2019 with only 80,000 sq ft of gross leasable area (GLA). Since then we have expanded to 675,000 sq ft with 40 tenants and a healthy occupancy rate of 98%. We remain committed to growing together with our Batu Kawan communities, to introduce new offers that are relevant to our customers' needs. Our end goal is to create a retail-anchored meeting destination where our visitors can shop, dine, connect, socialise and celebrate the uniqueness of our location."

Exciting Updates at Klippa

Looking ahead to 2024, Klippa will welcome two significant additions to its retail line up. The first is a petrol station operated by Caltex, which is set to open in the first quarter. In the second half of 2024, Klippa will also open mainland Penang's first Decathlon store, making a healthy lifestyle more accessible for North Malaysians.

Weekly Mega-Deals

For the last quarter of 2023, Klippa will introduce exclusive promotions, and special offers that will make shopping experiences at the centre even more rewarding. Stay tuned for exciting weekday deals across our many tenants.
