[edit] History

This mall was opened in 1996. In 2006, Shaw Centrepoint had a grand celebration in conjunction with its 10 anniversary. The first stores that occupied this mall include Golden Screen Cinemas, McDonald's and A&W. Later, the number of tenants expanded and currently Factory Outlet Store (FOS), Bata (Shoe Specialist), and the numerous number of computer shops are the newer tenants that occupy this mall. In late-2006, the Factory Outlet Store closed down.

[edit] Description

There are numerous number of shops in the shopping complex. The area surrounding this shopping complex is where part of Klang Town is located. The road there links to Kapar and Jalan Meru where Klang Parade is located. The mall is densed during peak hours, public holidays and during weekends, but is deserted during weekdays. Multistorey parking lots are provided to cope with the amount of people visiting this complex. The parking fare is RM 1.00 per hour. Due to this 'high' fare, many people park at the overcrowding ground floor parking lot. However, finding a place to park here is simply impossible. To make things worse, a Tabung Haji complex and the busy Jalan Taiping is located right in front of this shopping complex. Also, the opening of Klang City Square and the construction work at the Klang Mid Valley mall is increasing the traffic volume here. One may circle the whole area for half-and-hour and still not find a parking spot. Fortunately, Klang City Square opened a multistorey carpark in its mall.

There is a GSC theatre and a A&W restaurant there. The GSC theatre is located at the top most floor of this building. It has 4 screens and 1006 seats. Computer shops, the building's movie theatre and a video arcade occupy the top floor.

The Store, Shaw Centrepoint's department store and main tenant, occupies four floors; starting from the lower ground floor or the basement floor.

There is an overhead bridge connecting this shopping complex with Mydin (also known as Plaza MPK) to avoid people from crossing the busy road below which is the start of the highway in Klang.

This shopping complex is located near the Klang City Square & Klang Mid Valley.
