History
Jem's official opening was initially planned to be on 11 June 2013. Due to initial tenancy issues, the opening of the mall was delayed.[1] On 15 June 2013, Jem finally opened and attracted more than 10,000 shoppers at the time of the opening.[2]
In 2019, JEM underwent minor renovations at Basement 1.[citation needed]
In August 2020, anchor tenant Robinsons was closed down[3] and replaced by IKEA in 2021. The first small-store concept in Southeast Asia, this IKEA store will however not have a children's playground and built-in warehouse. The outlet opened on 29 April 2021 at 10am.[4]
