GEORGE TOWN, Sept 24 -- Ikano Centres is launching a drive-thru concept next to IKEA Batu Kawan, Penang, which is poised to be fully operational by the middle of next year.

The drive-thru component would complement the current dine-in IKEA restaurant across a 200,744 sq ft gross leasable area.

IKEA Southeast Asia and Mexico managing director Christian Roejkjaer said the drive-thru concept has become a quintessential part of the Malaysian lifestyle and could play a crucial role in the new norm.

“Building our first drive-thru concept in Batu Kawan is one way for us to create a safe and positive space for the community to come out and enjoy their favourite food,” he said in a statement today.

Meanwhile, Ikano Centres also announced that McDonald’s Malaysia would be its first food and beverage (F&B) partner to complement the on-the-go concept.

The exclusive shopping centre partner for IKEA across Southeast Asia said the fast-food restaurant will be opening its 16th free-standing outlet in Batu Kawan, taking up approximately 35,000 sq ft of space.

“Ikano Centres is already in dialogue with petrol station operators to meet the high demand within the growing township of Aspen Vision City in Batu Kawan,” it added.
