The new mall is bigger than Aeon Mall Tan Phu Celadon, which opened in early 2014. It has an total investment of over US$120 million and is located at the Hi-Tech Healthcare Park of Hoa Lam Shangri-La.

Aeon Mall Binh Tan covers over 4.6 hectares and has four floors and a basement. Its parking lot is designed to house 1,500 cars and 4,000 motorbikes at a time.

Around 80% of goods on sale at the mall will be made in Vietnam and 20% imported from Japan.

A photo-taking area for children and families will be opened at the fourth Aeon Mall in Vietnam. Kids can join painting classes.

On the opening occasion, guests will be given a chance to admire a sakura festival and discount vouchers at over 100 shops from July 1 to 24.

Aeon targets 20 malls across Vietnam by 2020. The Japanese retailer owns 49% of the Citimart store chain and 30% of another local store chain Fivimart, as well as operates Ministop convenience stores.

Aeon is expanding investment in ASEAN countries as part of its strategic business shift to Asia.
