MR D.I.Y., Malaysia’s beloved do-it-yourself store, has captured the attention of KL-ites with a colossal inflatable iron soaring over the city skyline.
This eye-catching event marks the launch of MR D.I.Y.’s latest initiative, aptly named “Big & Small, MR D.I.Y Has It All” / “Kecil & Besar, MR D.I.Y. Ada.” Stretching an impressive 16 x 7.5 x 8 metres, the inflatable iron graces the scenic Taman Tasik Titiwangsa and will remain in place until October 15, 2023.
Recognised by the Malaysia Book of Records as the ‘largest inflatable iron in Malaysia,’ it serves as the centrepiece for showcasing MR D.I.Y.’s extensive product range.
MR D.I.Y.: A Myriad of Products
Under the banner of “Kecil & Besar MR D.I.Y. Ada,” this initiative spotlights MR D.I.Y.’s vast product portfolio, which exceeds 20,000 items available at over 1,200 stores nationwide.
From small essentials like batteries, padlocks, and keychains to larger items such as vacuum cleaners, inflatable pools, and foldable stairs, MR D.I.Y. offers a comprehensive range that caters to diverse needs and budgets.
“We have low prices, starting from less than RM1.00. We have a smaller store format to cater to the needs of our customers in smaller towns like Permatang Pauh, Pulau Pinang, and Sik, Kedah, right up to our superstore format MR. D.I.Y. PLUS in major cities like Kuala Lumpur, Penang, and Johor Bahru, which covers an area of over 20,000 sq feet.
And we serve the needs of babies through to retirees. It’s a big promise to make, and one that we are very proud to be able to deliver.” said MR D.I.Y. Group’s Head of Marketing, Alex Goh.
