About 1st Avenue Mall
1st Avenue is the closest modern mall to the heritage zone, on Jalan Magazine at the edge of the KOMTAR complex. It has seven retail floors aimed at younger shoppers, with H&M, Skechers, MR DIY and KKV, plus chain cafes and casual restaurants. Village Grocer on the lower ground floor is a good place to buy imported groceries, Malaysian coffee and snacks.
The top floor (Cloud 8) has an eight-screen TGV cinema. Covered skybridges link the mall to Prangin Mall and KOMTAR, so you can walk between all three without going outside, which is welcome on a hot or rainy afternoon.
Getting there: it is a 10 to 15 minute walk from Lebuh Chulia, or take the free CAT bus or any Rapid Penang route to the KOMTAR bus terminal next door. Parking is on levels 5 to 7 of the building.
