Residents of Cilegon in Banten Province, Indonesia, responded enthusiastically to the opening of Matahari Department Store’s 155th outlet on Friday (01/06).
In addition to being strategically located in the central business district, the 5,700-square-meter store inside the 67,000 square-meter Cilegon Center shopping mall also boasts a modern design.
The first day of trading saw extraordinary sales, as more than 30,000 customers flooded the new outlet, said Irwin Abuthan, director at Matahari Department Store.
“It was an extraordinary day. The turnout was fantastic. The store and mall will bring great added value and benefit to the city of Cilegon and surrounding areas,” Irwin said.
