COURTS

The local retailer of home electronics, IT and furniture products will officially unveil its newly refurbished Causeway Point store to the public tomorrow, part of Courts' move to revitalise its physical store network with a next-generation experience.

What's more, this weekend's opening sale has $21,000 worth of attractive prizes up for grabs, like a free Marvel Air Purifier worth $499 with minimum purchase of $2,999 storewide (limited to the first 25 customers a day).

Shoppers can enjoy exciting in-store activities such as $1 auction deals, sure-win lucky dip, hourly deals, meet-and-greet with UFM100.3 DJs Andrew and Limei, and a cooking workshop with chef Siti Mastura Alwi.

Boasting over 34,000 sq ft of redesigned space, the Causeway Point store features a freshly painted interior, tailored spot lighting fixtures and minimalist light grey flooring.

The open and welcoming design encourages shoppers to take their time and browse, while the redesigned furniture showroom displays Courts' latest made-to-order and ready-stocked models for homeowners to try out.

The new IT and electrical range has been carefully curated to offer the latest models on the market coupled with the best value, including the new Asus and Lenovo concepts and the latest gaming models from Acer, Alienware, HP, Razer, and Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4 gaming stations.
