\nChristian Rojkjaer, and Christian Olofsson showcasing the progress of Toppen Shopping Centre, which is situated next to Ikea Tebrau.
\nToppen Shopping Centre, the first mall in Malaysia to be anchored by an Ikea store outside the Klang Valley, is slated to open by the third quarter of 2019, reported The Star.
\nNestled on a 10.22ha site in the heart of Tebrau, the new shopping centre is expected to boost the economic growth of Johor.

\nThis comes as the new development could generate 5,000 employment opportunities for locals, said Ikea Southeast Asia Managing Director Christian Rojkjaer. Incidentally, Ikea Tebrau is set to be the biggest Ikea store in Southeast Asia.
\n\u201cJobseekers can expect employment opportunities from our 300 tenants or be part of the complex management team,\u201d said Rojkjaer.
\nThe completion of the mall will also open business opportunities for local suppliers.
\nAdded Rojkjaer: \u201cAs we speak, Ikea Tebrau is currently obtaining its supply of chicken wings from a local supplier and we believe more such opportunities will come with the completion of the shopping centre.\u201d
\nIn a bid to live up to its name, Toppen \u2013 which means fantastic in Swedish \u2013 wanted to be more than just a place to shop by creating a vibrant environment where people can meet and socialise with family and friends, noted Rojkjaer.
\nAs such, the four-storey mall features retail shops, a rooftop with a community garden, sporting and play areas, a large multipurpose piazza as well as entertainment and dining facilities.
\nIkea Southeast Asia shopping centre and mixed-use director Christian Olofsson explained that the new mall, which has achieved a 40 percent take-up rate, would offer a new and improved shopping experience for locals.
\n\u201cThere are certain changes that have to be made in the retail industry in order to catch up with the rise of e-commerce, and for us it is by creating a comfortable and lively meeting place for people rather than just a place for them to shop,\u201d he said.
\n\u201cIt is not so much about e-commerce versus retail but more on how we can successfully merge them together and provide an improved shopping journey for customers.\u201d
\nAmong the upcoming tenants are TGV cinemas, Harvey Norman and Ben\u2019s Independent Grocer, said Olofsson.
