About Sunshine Central

Sunshine Central is one of Penang island's newest large malls, opened in October 2024 by the local Sunshine group in Bandar Baru Ayer Itam. Its nine floors hold about 350 shops aimed at local families, including the Sunshine hypermarket and department store, MR DIY, Daiso and Skechers, with a HARRIS hotel and an office tower in the same complex.

S Food Hall has 26 stalls covering hotpot, Thai, Japanese, Indonesian and Western food, and the developer has announced an 11-hall GSC cinema. It works well combined with a trip to Kek Lok Si Temple or Penang Hill, which are a short drive away.

Getting there: Rapid Penang routes 201 and 203 serve Ayer Itam and Farlim; a Grab from George Town takes about 20 minutes outside peak hours.

Shop Directory: Sunshine Central

This list covers notable stores at Sunshine Central by category. The mall does not publish an online store directory, so it was compiled in October 2026 from the retailers' own store locators and outlet listings; floors are given only where a listing states them. Tenants change often, so check the official mall page or call the mall before a special trip.
