CONGRATS TO BERJAYA for being one of the largest mall operators in the world haha!!!

Rarely go there unless got big events in BB, then I'll drop by at Borders BTS. Also, most of the shops there can be found at my place here in PJ.

^^ Well...maybe you two when there after a few weeks opened...coz, when I went many shop opened liao...got a mysterious shop...sell those funny thingies...

i think the design just so so, like normal food court. There are many other food courts in KL are far nicer than this BTS food court.

they make it the largest food court in Malaysia, but the way they place the stalls really not convinient for customers. IMO:D

GSC got 2 level. 1st floor n 3rd floor.

the one that u mentioni think u refer to 3rd n 4th floor where most of the restaurant concentrated. its not a food court area.

the BTS foodcourt is referring to the one on 10th floor.

yup. actually the food court is not as bad as one have in mind. just that it located at the top floor of the shopping mall make it sort of unreach-able for the mall patron.

thing will definitely be different if they located it on the ground floor level or basement level..it will definitely be a hit.

I think you're right. i went in to BTS and checked out Borders and Debenhams (now closed i know) but i couldn't find my way to the fair rides, how do you get up to cosmo's World?! & many shop lots seemed unoccupied?

I still think Midvalley is the best mall (for me)

unoccupied bcoz those locations are unstrategic...i should say the whole architecture is not something to be proud of...

Since you guys are so interested in Vincent Tan.......did ya guys know that apart from Sports Toto, he had many success as well? :yes:

These are some of his success stories:

1) McDonald's

2) Starbucks

3) 7-Eleven

4) Ezy Video

5) Borders

6) Cosway

7) DiGi


* all of the above are his successful franchise except for Ezy Video and Cosway which is an original Berjaya thing.

He had since sold almost all his interest in his McDonald's franchise and in DiGi :D
