Exploring Johor Premium Outlets: A Shopper's Paradise in Southeast Asia
Nestled in the heart of Kulai, Johor, Johor Premium Outlets (JPO) stands as Malaysia's premier destination for luxury shopping at unbeatable prices. With its strategic location just an hour's drive from Singapore and proximity to Senai International Airport, JPO has become a magnet for both local and international shoppers seeking high-end brands without the hefty price tags. We made our way there from Singapore 2nd link Tuas side and it took 15 mins to clear the customs as it was a Friday afternoon. There were not much traffic. And journey took about 1/2 hour after we clear the customs.

My friends and I manage to spend about 3 hours there after our dim sum lunch. It was delicious and the total cost was $300 ringgit for 5 of us. At the Premium Outlet mall, we shop around at scent shop which i then know that my friends like diffuser smell which can last 3 months for a 500ml bottle. Something interesting that i pick up as i thought is burning of candle to have the smell. Something new to me. After which we shopped at Nike where there was further promotions. After you purchase 3 items in the shop, you will get further 40% discount from the price. I bought 2 pairs of shoes as my current running shoes are almost worn out from BATA. I bought it in 31st Dec 2023 and it has lasted me for 1 year and 4 months + considering i jog in it for almost every day. Do check out the promotions before you make a trip down in this website so at least you can see what are on sale before you make the trip down.
