Metro opens in Senayan Plaza

JAKARTA (JP): Deputy Governor for Social Welfare R.S. Museno officially opened on Friday the Metro department store in Senayan Plaza, South Jakarta.

Museno said he hoped the store would be able to accommodate Jakartans' desire to buy high quality goods.

"Hopefully, Jakartans will not fly to Singapore to shop because they can find what they want here," he said.

Metro Senayan, the second Metro store in Jakarta after its first one in Pondok Indah Mall, South Jakarta, occupies 16,000 square meters on four floors of the plaza.

Christine Barki, director of PT Metropolitan Retailmart, said that the total investment of the new store is Rp 25 billion (US$11.62 million). (yns)
