JB City Square Under Renovation… Is There Still Anything Left to Shop?

Visiting JB City Square amidst renovations can feel like stepping into a mall that's both lively and transforming. Although the upper floors 4 and 5 are currently closed for renovation, several stores on the lower levels remain bustling with activity. One pleasant surprise is the variety of clearance sales you can find, with discounts reaching up to 50%, making it a perfect time for budget shopping. Food lovers also won’t be disappointed—the mall offers affordable lunch options starting at RM16.80, allowing visitors to enjoy tasty meals without stretching their wallet. Families with children can explore the indoor playground located on the lower levels, providing fun activities while others shop. Though some familiar stores have relocated or closed temporarily, popular brands like Watson and Adidas still have outlets open. Beyond shopping, the future of JB City Square looks bright with plans for over 300 stores by 2027, complemented by the upcoming RTS Link, which will provide greater convenience for travelers from Singapore and surrounding areas. From my own visit, I found the atmosphere surprisingly upbeat despite renovation dust and temporary closures. Shoppers seem eager to take advantage of sales and enjoy quick bites, making it a worthwhile stop even during this transition period. Whether you're a local or just visiting Johor Bahru, JB City Square remains a valuable spot to discover deals and enjoy a casual day out amidst the changes.
