'House Supermarket' to be launched

JAKARTA (JP): A private company will soon set up a "House Supermarket", which it describes as an audio-visual medium to promote and market real estate in Greater Jakarta.

"We plan to open the house supermarket early next year," Eko Wibowo, the president of PT Dipareksa GIP, announced yesterday.

The supermarket will provide information on real estate including locations, prices, facilities and technical data.

People may visit the supermarket after hours because the service is to be open until 9 p.m.

Eko said he wanted to help consumers against possibly mischievous developers. (jun)
