Giordano, Guess, Fila, Naf Naf, Adidas, Nike and Metrojaya.

Batu Ferringhi with Georgetown. There's also a bus stop in front of the mall.

The complex is popular with tourists and expatriates, although a little out of town
but still a short 10-minute drive from the main beach resorts.
The air-conditioned mall at Tanjong Tokong is the first
comprehensive shopping centre serving the tourist belt in Penang Island.
With anchor tenant Super Tanjong taking up 145,000 sq ft, Island Plaza is a

controlled mix of local, regional and international retailers.
At the upper end are the heavyweights namely the Cineplex and the Great
World Pool Station.

Twelve cafes and restaurants inside the
complex would make the foreign tourists very
much at home.
You can have a cup of coffee at the Starbucks (also a
Wi-Fi hotspot) or the Coffee Bean. There's also a KFC, if
you're hungry.
It is one of the first modern shopping mall built in Penang,
developed by Belleview.
Just outside the shopping complex, across the busy
street, you'll find more local shops. These shops are all new. You
