“Plearnary Mall” by the Prinsiri is set to rock the area called Watcharapol. More than one billion baht budget will be spent on the Plearnary Mall Watcharapol project (Note: Plearn is a Thai word referring to ‘enjoy’). It will be the latest and largest shopping mall on Watcharapol Road developed under the theme “Amusement Experience Shopping Mall”. Plearnary Mall Watcharapol will be the first mall in Thailand that features the light & sound, and parade show, plus its unique interior and exterior theme. The marketing strategy will focus on online channel, social media, and marketing activities that will reach out to the family group of all ages. The mall is scheduled to open in May 2014.
Ms. Patcharee Kovitchindachai, Managing Director, Plearnay Mall Co., Ltd. revealed that the project was initiated following the positive feedbacks of Prinsiri’s housing development covering about 100 rais of land (approx. 40 acres). Thus the company views the area has a perfect potential for development. The location is at its best in connecting several routes, plus it will be surrounded by about 20,000 residential units with100,000 population. As there is no place to fully serve people’s needs, Plearnary Mall Watcharapol will fill this demand gap with a truly new mall concept “Amusement Experience Shopping Mall” on 19 rai of land area (approx. 7.5 acres) located on the beginning of Watcharapol Road.
“”With our strength in location and focus on consumers’ insights, plus inspiration from overseas tourist attractions including the teddy bear museum, the Plearnary Mall Watcharapol project has been developed to bring out the concept of amusement park and shopping place mix, which is truly new in the Thai market. From our study of people’s lifestyle and needs, we found that that need: 1) A shopping close to home: Plearnary Mall is close to Prinsiri as well as other housing projects. There are about 30,000 people living in the neighborhood within a walking distance. Also there are about 20,000 residential units with easy access to the Mall; 2) A variety quality products: At Plearnary Mall, there are 300 shops ready to serve them with a wide range of product choices; 3) Great design: The Plearnary Mall is thoroughly well designed starting from the entrance, landscape surrounding the building, and the mall interiors. The Plearn Bear Family is another new concept for the mall-wide interior. Customers will be able to do their check-ins at various points and enjoy their visit. Therefore the Plearnary Mall Watcharapol will be a one-stop shopping place with everything people need for superior dining, shopping, and chilling experience.”
