I heard this today is it true??
The rumour is out about Klang Plaza 2, but none knows when. For sure it is struggling and already reduced much of the shopping surface.
What did close towards the end of last month was the Tops supermarket small branch inside Save One. Premises currently empty (I passed by today).
Another supermarket I expect to be shutting down any day is the so-called "Tesco Lotus West", i.e. the small branch (but bigger than a Tesco Lotus Express) located in Suebsiri area: I find it almost totally deserted each time I enter since after opening of the new Big C not so far away, while Tesco Lotus' hateful management ways aren't helping attracting customers in there, either. They shut down the cooking corner since a long time (no more ready-made food of any kind), they emptied a whole raw of freezers, downsized the fresh food sections, etc.
The main Tesco-Lotus supermarket on Mitthapap isn't doing much better anyway, as it keeps rolling down the descending path. Among other general misbehaviour, tonight in the bakery department they were trying to sell out already expired sliced bread without informing people about it (not everybody is sceptical enough to check each single item with his own eyes), and not at a symbolic price. More and more often I see expired products on sale in a deceptive way at the main Tesco Lotus on Mitthapap: for example, mixed up with other identical products that are only approaching expiry date, thus discounted for example a tiny 20%. They clearly try cheating people on purpose over there, behaving like the pettiest of street vendors. Surely the staff is being trained to do so. Not to mention about waiting lines at the cashiers all the time, being by far the worst service in the whole city; and so on and so on... Alas, what an awful supermarket it has turned into over the years.
