In April 2005, Borders Group opened its first franchise store here, which was the largest Borders store in the world at the time. However, due to the 2010 economic downturn, it has since been downsized into a smaller operation called Borders Express. However in 2016, It was shut down permanently.[7]
History
Initially, the land belonged to the millionaire and philanthropist Cheong Yoke Choy before World War II. His bungalow stood there until the entire parcel of land was purchased by the Berjaya Group of Tan Sri Vincent Tan for the development of the current Berjaya Times Square.[8] In October 2003, it was opened by the 4th Prime Minister of Malaysia, Mahathir Mohamad.[9]
