New JB Mall: The SKS City Mall JBCC Is Just Minutes from the Checkpoint!

Another day, another new mall has entered the Johor Bahru scene. And this one is located surprisingly close to the border!

Located along Jalan Storey, SKS City Mall JBCC has officially begun opening in phases, offering Singaporeans yet another convenient reason to cross the Causeway for food, shopping, and café hopping. Better yet, it’s reportedly only around 5 to 10 minutes from the JB CIQ, depending on traffic.

While the mall is still progressively rolling out tenants, there is already a decent mix of cafés, eateries, lifestyle brands, and family-friendly spots open or preparing to launch soon.

Unlike some of Johor Bahru’s mega malls, SKS City Mall JBCC feels more lifestyle-oriented and compact, making it potentially appealing for casual half-day or weekend trips from Singapore.

The development is also integrated with the upcoming Sheraton Johor Bahru, adding to the area’s growing urban transformation near the city centre.

What Can You Expect Inside?

Food options are currently one of the biggest draws. Visitors can already find names such as:

• Palates & Bagels

• Outstand Coffee

• Tea Garden

• Kay's Steak & Lobster

• CHAGEE

• Beutea

More familiar crowd favourites such as Oriental Kopi and ZUS Coffee are also expected to open soon. For shopping and essentials, tenants include:

• KKV

• DAISO

• MIX.Store

• Sports Direct

Upcoming additions such as MINISO and Village Grocer could make the mall even more convenient for quick grocery and lifestyle runs.

Family-Friendly Additions Too

Travelling with kids? The mall also includes attractions such as Jungle Gym, while wellness brands like Thai Odyssey are expected to join the lineup soon.

That makes the mall feel less like a pure shopping centre and more like an all-round lifestyle stop for families, café hoppers, and weekend visitors alike.

Can you visit SKS City Mall JBCC now?

Yes. Nonetheless, at the moment, SKS City Mall JBCC is still in its soft growth phase, so visitors should expect some empty lots and ongoing tenant openings. However, its biggest advantage is arguably its location.

For Singaporeans looking for a quick JB escape without travelling too deep into the city, the mall could become a convenient alternative for casual shopping, a short weekend hangout, or simply to grab a quick meal.
