I noted Mydin is nearly ready for business.

Not considering Tesco or Carrefour due to the distance for me,
I would definitely give Mydin a try once they are open, reason being.

1. Indoor car park. Car will be cool after shopping, food do not get spoilt in the hot boot. I have written to Giant to complain about this to nurture their trees properly for shade. Couldn't give a damm about it.
2. Food - new stock. Giant-USJ's quality is questionable at times based on personal experiences.
3. Probable cheaper pricing to compete with Giant.

I will keep patronizing Mydin unless they go below par from Giant in the future.

Anybody got good or bad experiences with Mydin elsewhere.

Your choice or views.

I can predict they will build shade for car park very soon. The Giant in Seremban do have shade. Just write to them to speed it up.

Doing your shopping all within 1 floor is better than going around too many floors. For this reason, I do prefer Giant. So far I do not have so many bad experience with Giant although in previous thread, there were many complaints. One man's meat is another man's poison.....just go wherever your heart takes you.

did u notice Giant is erecting some tall structures at the parking lots near to the Mydin's side (near to the parking exit)? Wah, looks like Giant want to block their 'fengsui', is it?

Yeah. It looks like it. They have declared war by building such ugly structure. Their objective is not to remind its customers that the grass is greener on the side. Giant says this new wife will eventually lose it 'heat' and fade away just like the Hokkien say "sin jamban ho pansai" (new toilet easier to shiit) the Malay version is 'hangat hangat tahi ayam' and I am sure the Indians don't want to lose out will have something to add. You bet and Nanri....

These are most probably big billboards by Giant, to block the view of Mydin bldg from public. Mydin will hv to put up a higher structure on top of its bldg... as a counter strategy... haha

More competitors, good for consumer in terms of choices and lower prices, but quality of services may drop as too many employment opportunity around.

whatever it is....i hope it doesnt create more traffic congestion!

these 2 hypermarkets should consider the traffic flow as well i guess.

I have to support Mydin because

1) The first Mydin store opened in Kelantan many many years ago. Eventhough the owner is from Penang.

2) I remember buying a bottle of Vidal Sassoon shampoo. It's sold at RM18.90 everywhere but in Mydin, it's only RM15.90. But that was many years ago.

that mydin starts operation already? haven't been to that area for a long time since moved to putra heights.

I've said it before, and I've stopped shopping at Giant USJ for a long time now, being they're NOT cheap and NOT entirely much savings for the items I purchase regularly. The items on their periodic flyer are the only ones which "may" be considered cheaper that a few competitors. Oh well!, I could rant more on reasons why NOT to shop at Giant but I won't bother.

I havent shopped much with Mydin...but I do wonder what are their return policy like...one of the main reason I avoid Giant is the hussle I was put thru when I wanted to return or replace a faulty item....Carrefour is sweet in that department...

i noticed that Giant start "renovate" their old structure ... paint their old building .. put a new tar at the parking area.. to compete with Mydin...i dun think they will do that if there are no competitor around .. .a good sign ...

most definitely it would be congested .. even so now, the traffic is that bad in that area. i prefer going to carrefour more things to see, easy parking altho is level, cool shade for car. cheaper or not, don't really know cos i've stop going to Giant already. Mydin, is new and everyone wants to try out new place .. confirm will be packed as well.

Giant needs a good competitor like Mydin, these Honkies have been steadly increasing their prices at their own whims and fancies..I hope Mydin will teach them a lesson on massive profiterring.

Well, when giant realize their sales drop, they will eventually drop their prices back to normal to gain their customers back ... that time they did the same thing to carrefour also when carrefour announce in the newspaper their items are cheaper than giant.
