Doraemon & Friends Making Their First-Ever Appearance at the Biggest Airport Shopping Mall in Sepang

Animation International (M) Sdn Bhd has brought Doraemon fun to gateway@klia2 mall in Sepang....

The first ever pop-up store to be located in a world-class airport, this will be happening from 7 March to 28 April 2019, specially dedicated and curated for Doraemon fans to bond over and to create that same magical feeling of genuine happiness and togetherness amongst patrons at the event.

Doraemon fans will be able to witness 30 life-sized Doraemon mega figurines, and will also be able to purchase different types of merchandises, including limited edition ones at the mega pop-up store. Entrance is free of charge, and open to the public.

 gateway@klia2 mall was chosen as the preferred mall as it’s a bustling integrated complex which welcomes more than 25 million travellers into the largest terminal for low cost carriers in the world.

Patrons to the mall will not only consist of passengers from around the world, but also Doraemon hardcore fans and shoppers from the surrounding residential districts in Putrajaya, Cyberjaya, Nilai, Bangi and Sepang, to name a few. 

The huge mall is 350,000 square feet of net lettable area spanning over eight levels, a 5,600-bay multi-storey car park and a fresh mall-within-airport concept, making it the perfect spot for shoppers and passengers alike. It is also accessible via various public transportations, including buses, taxis, coaches, rented vehicles as well as trains.

This mega pop-up store, a first-ever held in an airport contributes to boost the tourism sector in our country, by attracting fans worldwide who touch down at KLIA2. 

“I hope that patrons to the event will have a good time with friends and family and enjoy this event which was curated specially for our Doraemon fans. We hope to create that same magical feeling of genuine happiness, togetherness and bonding, thus creating strong family values through spending quality time together. We hope that the relationship with industry players built over time to promote shopping will not only to attract the locals but also foreign tourists to our country,” Mr Steve Chow, Animation International (M) Sdn Bhd’s Director said...

Speaking at the event, Ms Selena Chua, CEO, Retail of WCT Malls said, “With the overwhelming positive responses we received from Paradigm Malls in Johor Bahru and Petaling Jaya; we are excited to spread the joy and fun by bringing Doraemon and friends to gateway@klia2 for our patrons who consist of Malaysians and travellers from around the world to experience. 

Each day, we welcome more than 100,000 patrons to gateway@klia2 and we strive to provide them with new and unique experiences each time they visit us. Hence, with this year’s first-ever Doraemon and friends pop-up store taking place at our biggest airport shopping mall, we hope our patrons are able to, not only experience the blue-magic of Doraemon, but also able to capture amazing pictures with 30 life-sized Doraemon figurines to fill their social feeds and bring home limited-edition merchandises with them or for their loved ones.”
