Being ‘So Much More’ Than Just Another Shopping Centre

With the ever-changing needs of the community and shoppers, IPC introduced the concept of being ‘So Much More’ than just another shopping destination. The quintessential neighbourhood shopping centre in the heart of Mutiara Damansara has carefully crafted and refined the shopping experience through its space design, revamped interiors and family-friendly functionalities. Thomas Malmberg, Shopping Centre Director of IKEA Southeast Asia explained, “Today, the local consumer market is constantly evolving and we understand the importance of a great customer experience to remain relevant and ahead in this extremely competitive retail environment. Hence, we are constantly working and listening to our community to understand their woes, their pain points, as well as their wants and needs. This redevelopment is for them, and it is also the perfect opportunity to build stronger partnerships with new and existing tenants and partners. Together with our valued neighbours such as The Curve, eCurve and of course IKEA, we are strengthening the Mutiara Damansara Commercial Centre as the premier destination for shopping, dining and meeting with family and friends.”

A Shopping Centre for Everyone

The idea for the new IPC Shopping Centre is to create a contemporary yet inspirational space for the community. IPC Shopping Centre’s new design guarantees a space made for everyone in the family. Karyn Lim, General Manager of IPC Shopping Centre added, “IPC Shopping Centre has matured over the past 15 years and we are glad to grow with its surrounding neighbourhood and become an integral meeting place for family and friends. It has always been our vision to create a better everyday life for the community by providing a home away from home. Home is safe, convenient and family-friendly, that is what IPC stands for.”
