Australian furniture retailer Harvey Norman Malaysia has opened its first store in Johor, at Paradigm Mall.

Harvey Norman Asia MD Kenneth Aruldoss said the opening was timely as Johor has an impressive market thanks to rapid economic growth.

The store also offers the retailer’s “Shop with Confidence” campaign which offers price guarantee.

“This means that when customers buy a product from Harvey Norman and later find the same item at a lower price at another store, we will match the lower price and top up 10 per cent of the price difference within 10 days,” Aruldoss said.

Another Johor store will be opened in SouthKey Mid Valley Megamall within the next three months while the third store is expected to open its doors in Tebrau, site of the Ikea-anchored Toppen shopping centre, early next year.

Harvey Norman Malaysia has opened 17 stores so far, and plans to increase the network to 43 within 10 years.
