Toys R Us Grand Opening @ Hills Shopping Mall
It was those usual Saturday morning, where everyone would just get up and get ready to do their usual routine. Some would probably stay in bed, while others have decided to go out and do something. As for me, today was one of those day which I sort of went out from my daily routine that is getting ready to open the shop. No, today was different. Today I went and attended the grand opening of Toys R Us at Hills Shopping Mall, Kuching.
And of course as usual I never leave anyone behind, Deluxe and Esther came along as well. And was glad that they did came along. Esther have always enjoyed going out and now going to a Toy Store was something that she wouldn’t want to miss out on. Anyway, we gotten there pretty early, as the thing started about 9.45am. So I had some time going around and taking some shots of Esther exploring the perimeter. Just to make sure that everything was safe and secured.
While we were waiting, we could see from outside that the staff of Toys R Us were pretty much busy preparing for this huge event and boy were they excited. You could literally see how enthusiastic they were getting ready for battle to make sure that all the customers gets a 100% satisfaction guaranteed mentality.
So once the dust pretty much settles, it was time to get the show on the road. It wasn’t long before we witness the arrival of Datin Hii Chang Pee (owner of Hills Shopping Mall), and things started to get on their way. There was a short speech given by Carol Chua (country manager of Toys Li Fung (M) Sdn. Bhd.), introducing Toys R Us to the crowd that was there this morning. Throughout Malaysia there’s about 20 branches of Toys R Us, and this was the first branch in Kuching. As stated on their website “In 2002 Li & Fung Retailing* became a licensee of Toys”R”Us and acquired 100% ownership of Toys LiFung (Asia) Ltd, for the business in Mainland China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, The Philippines and Macau with provisions for entry into new geographic markets including other South East Asian countries.” After her speech, there was a drum presentation followed by the cutting of ribbons. I’ll just let the pictures do the talking on this one. (Click on the images for full view.)
Once it’s been officially opened, everyone couldn’t wait to get in and start to explore this new place. Basically there are 7 sections for you to explore which are Hot & In, Learning Toys, Auto World (Boys favourites also can be found here), Sports & Outdoor, Babies R Us, Girls’ favourites, family fun & Games (click on map for full details).
You can actually find all sorts of toys in there, and you could say it’s kinda complete especially with all the different sections which makes life easier for me to shop for Esther next time. And I was amazed that they have NERF! as well. Still trying to think of a good reason to tell Deluxe on why I should get that instead of the musical toy for Esther. Well I can’t use the same reason why I accepted the PS2 from my brother when we found out Deluxe was pregnant. Because we weren’t too sure if we’re expecting a boy or a girl. Lol. Anyway, back to our main agenda.
