Oriental Daily reported that one of the biggest bookstore chains in Taiwan, Eslite, is looking at opening a store in Kuala Lumpur.

Oriental Daily reported that one of the biggest bookstore chains in Taiwan, Eslite, is looking at opening a store in Kuala Lumpur.The daily, quoting a report by Taiwan’s Central News Agency, said that Eslite Living's chairman Wu Minjie is looking at expanding their bookstore business into Malaysia as soon as 2021.
Details about the Malaysian branch are scarce at the moment, but it will very likely to be the first Eslite Bookstore in Southeast Asia.
According to the report, the bookstore will most likely be located "in the heart of KL city center" and an esimated "3,300 to 6,600 square meters" in size.That's a pretty big bookstore, if you ask us.
Established in 1989, Eslite has a total of 48 branches, including two in China, one in Hong Kong and another in Japan.
On top of that, Eslite was also the first bookstore in Taiwan to operate 24 hours, attracting night-time shoppers. We just hope that the Malaysian branch operates 24 hours too, so we can practically sleep inside the bookstore.
