This is the atmosphere in a mall in Jakarta. The segment of this mall is a lower middle. This is the third mall I’ve visited over the last few days.
Somehow in your area, in Jakarta, almost all the malls and shopping centers, from the luxurious to the lower classes have experienced sluggishness. Visitors have dropped drastically for at least recent two years. Many shops and restaurants there are already closed. Some of the malls that are being built seem to think to divert the allotment of their buildings.
Of the many news, discussions, and analyzes it seems that apart from the weak public purchasing power, the way online shopping has become the main cause. A similar blow also occurs in various industries, such as transportation and banking.
Thus, again we are witnessing a change. Those who are unprepared, unwilling to adapt, or even resist change will inevitably experience great difficulty.
If you curious and eager to participate in this challenge, here are the rules and guidelines to join.
Any changes are often sad indeed…
Thank you for your appreciation, Tas
We see the same happening in the US with many major stores. It is kind of sad, so many are losing their jobs because of online shopping.
It’s sad, but that’s the change, is not it?
Yessss… That’s the beauty of life I love!
I do not see such a difference between us. It is a resort town and since March we already have tourists. Magic tails of people.
If it happens everywhere, then this is really a thorough flow of change
Malls are struggling in the US as well. In part because of the reality of online shopping in part because like all things they seem to have run their course.
There’s always a time for everything, right?
truly, the time of malls seems to have come and gone. I wonder what lies beyond on-line shopping…
Hehehe… I am also curious about it. What next?
That my friend I have no idea. I am sure it is something..
Yessss… That’s the beauty of life I love!
