IPC Shopping Centre Celebrates 20 Years as Community's Home Away From Home, Unveils its Snow-Much-Fun 20versary Fest

In gratitude for 20 years of unwavering support, the shopping centre presents great deals, rewards and activities to its local community

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, Nov. 27, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Embracing the festive spirit, IPC Shopping Centre joyously marks its 20th anniversary this Christmas season. Throughout the month of November and December, the shopping centre is inviting shoppers to embark on a nostalgic journey down memory lane and savour the heart-warming shopping experience with exclusive tenant promotions, engaging activities, captivating attractions and exciting giveaways.

From opening its doors to the public as Ikano Power Centre in 18 December 2003, through its rebranding to IPC Shopping Centre in 2011, and its redevelopment in 2017, the neighbourhood shopping centre has remained true to its commitment to provide a convenient, safe, and family-friendly shopping destination and a cherished home away from home for the community.

Ms Karyn Lim, General Manager of IPC Shopping Centre, said, "We are humbled to be part of the lives of many within our community, be it our shoppers, tenants, or partners. As we celebrate our 20th anniversary, we would like to express our utmost gratitude to all who have made us their home away from home. Our community has always been our priority. That is why, throughout the years, making a positive impact on our shoppers and those around us has been a driving force behind our initiatives. This is seen through the introduction of the IPC loyalty programme – Tack Club and Små Club – as we offer exclusive rewards and privileges for our loyal shoppers and their children; and the award-winning 'Happiness to Homes' initiative in 2021 where we involved our shoppers in raising close to RM90,000 to support 480 families in need with basic necessities."

"Furthermore, we also strive to give back to our planet by reducing our impact on the environment and empower our shoppers to do so as well. For over 14 years, our Recycling and Buy-Back Centre (RBBC), boasting a recycling rate of 75%, has evolved into a dynamic recycling hub, especially with its upgrade in 2022 which enabled recycling of up to 15 categories of waste easier for our shoppers, that won prestigious awards for its pivotal role in supporting the community's growing sustainability aspirations. We have also launched our proprietary EV Charging Stations designed to cater to the evolving needs of our customers. We also encourage children and youths to join us in our journey towards a more sustainable planet by challenging them to build something special to help protect the earth through the recently introduced IPC Little Eco-Heroes Award with our super partner, Alliance Bank. We hope that through all that we do, we can create a better everyday life for the many people," she added.

In conjunction with the IPC Shopping Centre 20th-anniversary celebrations, shoppers will be able to create memories while exploring attractions and activities set up around the vicinity. This includes:

1)  Jätte, The Colossal Inflatable Dala Horse, in front of Swedish Café, Level G: Shoppers can capture memories with the first-ever colossal inflatable Dala horse in Malaysia. This 7.5m tall display is not only a reflection of the shopping centre's identity, linking to its Swedish roots but also radiates the spirit of collaboration and profound reverence for artistic craftsmanship. This is seen through the international teamwork between Thai Sculpture-Engineering Artist, Mr. Warrasruang Samuttaphan who brought the sculpture to life via BalloonART from Thailand and skilled Malaysian balloon artisan, Joseph Ho with his team who expertly assembled it in IPC Shopping Centre upon being transported to Malaysia.
