About Sunshine Central
Sunshine Central is Penang island's newest large mall, 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.
