Lot 10 Kuala Lumpur has re-conceptualized and re-imagined as a dynamic and inclusive space imbued with fun and creative youthful exuberance, is now a true social destination for locals and tourists to shop, dine or simply chill out.
“Lot 10 is re-conceptualised as a social destination of choice where people meet and connect, where customers not only shop and eat but also play and where all under our roof will feel the spirit of love.
“The reimagined Lot 10 is built upon the key pillars of Youthful, Fun, Creative and Connected.
“Our Youthful spirit aims to excite and inspire customers in a trendy environment, and we collaborate with tenants, partners and visitors to amplify the Fun at Lot 10 in a holistic way,” said Joseph Yeoh, vice president of YTL Land and Development and YTL Hotels and Properties.
He added since Lot 10 underwent renovations over a year ago and most of the new hardware enhancements have been completed.
“We are thrilled numerous new tenants have joined us including the first offline Reebonz store in Malaysia, J’s Gate Dining with its cluster of 18 authentic Japanese eateries, Tokyo Candy Factory, Molten Chocolate and our latest Sennheiser pop-up store.”
In addition, Lot 10 is holding meet.play.#lovelot10 in the first of a new series of events named #Lot10wanderlust.
“We embrace and foster everything creative to shape unique and memorable retail experiences for all.
“Ultimately, we aim for Lot 10 to keep everyone connected through our inclusive social space that celebrates diversity and encourage all to meet, gather and connect,” added Yeoh.
Kicking off on the weekend of 13 to 15 April, the #lot10wanderlust series offers a host of exciting weekend activities and experiences.
Fans of independent artisans can make their way to the inaugural Pasar Sari, an all-Malaysian homegrown artisan market that will last till 22 April and operates from 10a.m. to 10p.m.
“Today, a mall must go beyond hardware and retail mix to offer differentiated experiences to attract shoppers, especially when online shopping is fast changing the retail landscape.
“A mall must incorporate value-added lifestyle elements such as arts, culture and entertainment that are not found in online shopping.
“We must give shoppers a hand in shaping their own authentic experiences to stay relevant in their social media space,” explained Yeoh.
In line with Lot 10’s push for local entrepreneurship amongst the creative youth, a curated collective of 12 local artisans such as The Apothecary Malaysia, Kapten Batik, Buih & Co. and ZaHuoHang will showcase their selection of locally-sourced and produced goods perfect for local visitors and tourists.
You can shop for fragrances and toiletries, pick up art, stationery and apparel or perhaps take home some homeware and decorations, even select from a variety of agricultural products from social enterprise Langit Collective.
