We know some of you might go ” Eh, what’s a lifestyle store?” Let us explain. According to Wikipedia (yep), a lifestyle store is a retail store that sells a wide variety of products. It is designed to associate a brand with one or another aspirational lifestyle which could include clothes, stationery, gifts, skincare and more. We don’t know who came out with this idea, but it’s sure brilliant. Enough talking, let’s jump straight right into our Top 8 Lifestyle Store in Penang.
