Why Ipoh Parade Anchors Central Ipoh

Three structural drivers:

  2. Heritage hotel catchment — Ipoh’s white-coffee tourism brings travelling lifters to Ipoh Parade for travel-stack purchases
  3. Older everyday-buyer base — central-Ipoh residents who avoid AEON’s mall-traffic patterns prefer Ipoh Parade for routine pickups
