Another one bites the dust. Just two months after closing down its Nu Sentral outlet, Japanese discount store chain Don Don Donki will close its outlet at Sunway Pyramid by the end of the month.
Reports of the closure emerged after shoppers noticed a sign outside the store. The sign read, “We Are Moving” in large font, with an explanation below. The store announced that it would be moving its business location effective 31st July 2025 (Thursday). At the same time, Don Don Donki also thanked customers for their support throughout the store’s operations. At the same time, it invites the public to shop at its other outlets.
Customers who visited the store after the announcement received confirmation from staff about the closure. As part of the closure, the store is also holding a clearance sale with discounts ranging from 15% to 30% on all products, excluding perishables and delica. While unconfirmed, there are also reports that the store is moving to the Lot 10 Shopping Mall branch in Bukit Bintang.
This closure marks the fourth Don Don Donki outlet to cease operations since the company entered the Malaysian market in 2020. Since then, the company has established several outlets in the Klang Valley, including at Nu Sentral and IOI City Mall. Unfortunately, four out of six outlets have closed down, leaving only the Lot 10 Shopping Mall and Mid Valley Megamall outlets in operation.
Netizens have shared mixed reactions to the closure. While some were surprised to learn that Don Don Donki is closing yet another branch in Malaysia, some argued that it was to be expected, given the lack of crowds. However, it’s worth noting that the Sunway Pyramid outlet underwent a revamp in March, relaunching its store with a new layout and wider selection of items.
Only time will tell the future of Don Don Donki in Malaysia, but let’s try to enjoy the store while it’s still here. If you’re looking for good deals on Japanese treats, make sure to visit Don Don Donki in Sunway Pyramid before the end of the month.
