If you’re still doing your grocery shopping in some boring, grey-lit hypermart with shaky carts and questionable lettuce, we’ve got good news for you: Mercato has officially opened its doors at SouthPlace Shoppes in Tropicana Metropark, and it’s already turning heads—and stomachs.
The grand opening on 22 May 2025 wasn’t just a ribbon-cutting affair. It was more like the foodie version of a concert: carts were lined up, baskets were overflowing, and people came out in droves to see what the buzz was about. And let’s just say… they were not disappointed.
A Grocery Store, But Make It Glam
Spanning a generous 23,771 square feet, Mercato isn’t just a place to buy groceries—it’s a full-blown food experience. It’s where your weekly grocery run meets European-style marketplace, and somehow, it smells like buttery croissants all the time.
You’ll find organic fruits and vegetables that look like they were flown in first class, seafood so fresh you half expect it to swim away, and a deli counter that deserves its own Instagram page—stacked high with cheeses, cured meats, and that fancy ham you pretend to know the name of (prosciut… something? Never mind, just eat it).
And if the bakery section doesn’t stop you in your tracks with its freshly-baked breads and pastries, then the smell surely will. The pain au chocolat basically whispers, “Buy me.”
Whether you’re a health nut, a cheese enthusiast, a parent stocking up, or someone who just likes pushing a trolley in air-conditioned comfort, Mercato makes grocery shopping… dare we say… enjoyable?
Tropicana Metropark: A Township That’s Coming Alive
Now, here’s the thing: SouthPlace Shoppes isn’t just about Mercato. It’s part of the growing heartbeat of Tropicana Metropark, and it’s starting to feel like a township with soul.
Pop by any day and you’ll see a little slice of modern Malaysian life in motion. Early birds are breaking a sweat at Anytime Fitness, or spinning their morning blues away at Ho Cycle. Those who prefer caffeine over cardio are happily sipping their lattes at Red Cawan, catching up on emails or pretending to. Meanwhile, families and residents pop into KK Mart or MyNews for everyday essentials (and the occasional ice cream run—no judgment).
Need a quick makeover before a dinner date or that big client pitch? Hattitude Hair Salon has your back with blow-dries and trims that say “I woke up like this.”
Feeling under the weather or just need to stock up on supplements? Healthlane Family Pharmacy is right there to keep your medicine cabinet in check, offering trusted health advice and essentials for every member of the family.
And if you’re peckish after a round of grocery shopping at Mercato, don’t miss the piping hot, crispy goodness of Uncle Jack Fried Chicken, tucked right inside the store. It’s the kind of comfort food that makes you feel like your diet can start… tomorrow.
But wait, there’s more coming—a whole wave of new tenants is moving in, from Japanese and Taiwanese restaurants that’ll have you slurping noodles like you’re in Shinjuku, to a nasi kandar joint that’s ready to satisfy your late-night cravings with rice, curry, and maybe some regret (but the good kind). There’s also talk of a pet shop, because every township needs a place where your cat can buy a new scratching post and judge you silently.
In short, Tropicana Metropark is not just evolving—it’s thriving. It’s the kind of place where you can live, work, eat, and still have time to complain about parking (though thankfully, there’s ample space here).
Retailers, You Might Want to Pay Attention…
Now let’s talk business. If you’re a brand owner, restaurateur, café dreamer, or lifestyle entrepreneur, this is your nudge from the universe.
With Mercato now open as a major anchor tenant, the foot traffic at SouthPlace Shoppes is turning into a stream, and soon, a flood. Residents from the surrounding Tropicana Metropark condominiums are already making this their go-to spot, and with more amenities coming online, the customer base is only going to grow.
You’re looking at a community with disposable income, health-conscious habits, café culture love, and a taste for both quality and convenience. It’s not a question of if Tropicana Metropark will become a lifestyle hub—it already is.
So if you’ve got a concept that deserves a stylish address and a buzzing crowd, you might want to make your move before someone else takes your dream lot.
