RETAIL tenants selling unique products at the Straits Quay marina enclave in Penang are doing extremely well.

E & O group hospitality and lifestyle director Michael Saxon said this showed that Penangites appreciated the special offers at the retail marina in Tanjung Tokong.

He added that at least 3,000 people would throng Straits Quay on a weekday and a lot more people during the weekend.

“Many Penangites like to sit in the outlets, have something to drink and eat and look out to the sea.

“They often comment that the place has a romantic feel. They love that Straits Quay is completely different from any other spot in Penang,” he said during the official opening of Straits Quay on Saturday.

Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng, who launched the opening, said that the opening of Straits Quay could help in international benchmarking.

“In true E & O style, Straits Quay is the new landmark in Penang,” he said.

Straits Quay, the first retail marina enclave in Penang, was developed by E & O Berhad.

Later, Lim also launched the Penang Super Car Club at Spasso Restaurant in Straits Quay.

Forty supercars were on display.

The club also presented mock cheques of RM5,000 each to the Penang Fo Yi Haemodialysis Society, the Ramakrishnan Ashrama and Pure Lotus Hospice of Compassion.
