History
The department store was built by the Penang Development Corporation (PDC), which had been earlier tasked with the development of the township of Bayan Baru.[3] Completed in 1993, Sunshine Square is the flagship store of Suiwah Corporation, a Penang-based retailer with stores throughout the state.[1][2]
The shopping centre originally contained a cineplex and a bowling alley, although these have since been converted into function halls suitable for meetings, incentives, conferences and exhibitions (MICE).[2] Even so, the consistent upgrading of the department store and its competitive pricing have allowed it to maintain its customer base.
Transport
Rapid Penang bus routes 302, 303, 304, 305, 306, 307, 308, 401E and CAT Bayan Baru include a stop at Sunshine Square, thus providing several transportation options for shoppers coming from the Penang International Airport or George Town.[2][4]
