Odel Moratuwa relocates to K-zone to offer better shopping experience

Almost nine years to the day it first opened its doors to customers, Odel’s store in Moratuwa has relocated to the ‘K-zone’ complex nearby, joining sister outlets Softlogic Max, Burger King and Baskin Robbins which are already at the location, to provide visitors the multi-dimensional shopping experience that only the Softlogic Group can offer.

More than doubling in size in the process, the relocated 6,935 sq. ft. Odel Moratuwa store significantly enhances the attraction of the mall to visitors, featuring the most popular departments of the store as well as the sweeping range of international brands that it retails.

Perfectly timed for the peak shopping season, the formal opening of the store on November 23rd was presided over by Softlogic Holdings PLC Chairman Ashok Pathirage amidst a large gathering of shoppers eager to be among the first in.

Commenting on the relocation, Softlogic Holdings Group Director Marketing Desiree Karunaratne said, “We believe that shopping is all about the experience – a combination of location, wide product choice, great brands, exceptional service, value for money and convenience. With its relocation to K-zone, the Odel Moratuwa store ticks all the boxes, and will significantly increase footfall to the mall while offering customers the shopping experience and store ambience they have come to love about Odel.” One of the largest retail spaces at K-zone (Moratuwa), the Odel store comprises of its principal departments, ladies wear, menswear, kids, backstage, delight, sunglasses, watches, Odel Sports, and Exclusive Lines as a tenant outlet, and in keeping with Odel’s characteristic offering, presents an array of international fashion brands coupled with firm local favourites.
