This list does not include large specialist stores, which sometimes resemble department stores.  to improve their services to be equal in convenience with foreign department stores, which were once the favorite place for shopping for them before they were made poorer by the crisis. That is why shopping centers having middle to high class segments have continued to enjoy growth like Sogo which has opened new outlets in Mega Mall Pluit and Plaza Senayan Coordinates:  Plaza Senayan is a luxury shopping mall in South Jakarta, Indonesia. The mall is only a few minutes by car from the Semanggi area. , bringing the number of its outlets to 4 in Jakarta. Similarly, Metro has just expanded its wings to the region by opening a new outlet in Super Mall Bandung.

People of middle income bracket in urban areas have been able to get used to their new condition by adjusting their spending habit with their limited income. Therefore, the market segment of middle class people, Matahari Department Store has continued to report a steady increase in sales in the wake of the crisis. Matahari was estimated to post sales valued at Rp6 trillion One thousand times one billion, which is 1, followed by 12 zeros, or 10 to the 12th power. See space/time.

 in 2002 up from Rp5.4 trillion in 2001 or far exceeding sales before the crisis. In 1995-1997, its sales averaged only Rp2.1 trillion. Matahari, therefore, has increased its outlets from 73 in 1999 to 79 now.

Meanwhile, department stores having market segment of middle to low income people are generally badly depressed. Middle to low and low income people are more vulnerable to economic downturn. The impact of decline in purchasing power Purchasing Power

 is greater on lower income people in their consumption. This is obvious in the sales record of Ramayana Department Store. Ramayana recorded only a growth of around 13% in income to Rp3.26 billion in 2002--much smaller than a net profit of Rp543 billion reported by Matahari in 2001. The outlets of Ramayana also has not changed in number from 64 in 1999.

Department stores and supermarkets now tend to combine operation serving as both department store and supermarket at the same time such as already practiced by Matahari Department Stores which in addition to selling fashion it also sells household goods in its Supermarket section of Super Bazaar and super store "Mega M" that serves as both supermarket and department store at once under its One Stop Shopping concept. This concept has also been adopted by foreign retail giant Carrefour in Jakarta. The concept succeeded in drawing more shoppers as it offer greater convenience to shoppers.

Department Stores

Department store was first introduced in Indonesia early the 1970s. Department stores sell fashion, shoes, bags, belts, and accessories. Department stores also provide rooms for buyers to try fashion they want to buy.

In order to guarantee convenience for shoppers, the display lay out is designed so to give the impression of harmony with the sales clerks neatly dressed. The quality of goods is guaranteed.

The prices are fixed not to be bargained clearly shown in the price tags. Department stores in the Greater Jakarta open from 0.9.00 to 21.00.

Department store operations are supported by intensive promotional drives such as advertisement on printed media or televisions. They also offer incentive in the form of discount, and prizes.

Normally large department stores have supermarket outlets and outlets for household goods in smaller scale to provide greater convenience under One Stop Shopping concept. Matahari and Ramayana Department Stores already use that concept. Under that system a department store will serve as a shopping place as well as family recreation facility. Therefore, they provide room for playground for children.

There is no fixed limit for the size of the floor space, but averagely the floor space of a department store is around 1,500 sq.m. to 1,600sq.m. Some have only a floor space of 1,000 sq.m. The owners of department stores are either individuals or group of companies or part of chain-stores.

Main players in department store

The first department store in Indonesia was established n the 1960 namely state-owned Sarinah Department Store in Jakarta. In the 1970s, the private sector followed started by Matahari Department Store.

Matahari began from a small store in Pasar Baru, a prestigious shopping center shopping center, a concentration of retail, service, and entertainment enterprises designed to serve the surrounding region. The modern shopping center differs from its antecedents—bazaars and marketplaces—in that the shops are usually amalgamated into  in Jakarta.

Ramayana Department Store is an offshoot of Ramayana Fashion, a fashion shop in Jalan H. Agus Salim Haji Agus Salim (Koto Gadang, Bukittinggi, Minangkabau, October 8 1884-Jakarta, November 4 1954) was one of Indonesia's founding fathers and prominent diplomats.

The fashion shop was established in 1978 by Paulus Tumewu and his wife. The status of the fashion shop was changed in 1983 into a department store named PT Ramayana Lestari Sentosa.

In 2002, Ramayana has 80 outlets with 64 department store outlets. The number of its department store outlets increased only by one since 1999. Around 80% of its outlets are in large cities in Java and the rest in Bali, Lampung, Riau, Kalimantan and Sulawesi. A sharp increase in the number of its outlets was recorded in 1997 when it acquired Cahaya Department Store.

The market segment of Ramayana--middle to low income people, are more vulnerable to a jolt affecting economic stability.

Now the department store has 31 outlets located in various strategic area in Bandung and other large cities in West Java.

Department stores has 52.5% market share in Jabotabek

Department store companies compete against each other in seeking a larger market shares in the country. They are quick in establishing outlets in economic centers in the country mainly Jakarta and its satellite cities, which are the most potential market for retailers. The Greater Jakarta (Jabotabek) area has 146 outlets or 52.5% of the total number of department store outlets in the country. The number rose from 134 outlets or 49.3% of the total number that year in the country. In 2002, Matahari had 28 outlets of department store in the Jabotabek, area or 35.4% of the total number of its outlets.

Foreign Retailers

The government imposed ban for a long time on the operation of foreign retailers in the country hoping the policy will boost development of local retail industry. The restriction was contained in government regulation (PP) No. 19/1988 and a decision of the labor minister No. KEP-682/MEN/85 banning the operation of foreign workers foreign workers

Sogo was the anchor tenant for space in Megamall Pluit when it was opened in 1996 by its owner Metropolitan Lingga Kencana. More recently it became a tenant in Plaza Senayan, bringing the number of its outlets to 4 all in Jakarta.

Unlike Sogo, the presence of Metro Department Store opened by Metro Holding from Singapura in cooperation with the Rajawali group in Pondok Indah Mall Coordinates:  Pondok Indah Mall (also known as PIM) is a large shopping complex located in Pondok Indah, South Jakarta, Indonesia. , within an investment of Rp20 billion did not attract attention. Like Sogo, Metro Department Store entered the country through franchise system by paying a fee of 0.5% of its net sales. After success in grabbing share in the potential market of South Jakarta, Metro made expansion in 1996 to Senayan Square, a shopping center built by the Era Persada group, which is owned by Hashim Djojohadikusumo.

Metro Department Store has postponed the opening of new outlets in a number of cities in 2003 because of the unfavorable developments in the country. However, it already expanded operation to Bandung where it occupies a space in Super Mall Bandung.

With the removal of the ban foreign giant retailers such as Carrefour and Continent from France and medium size department stores such as Australia's Point Break Enterprises PTy. Ltd. in Mal Pondok Indah, and France's Delhaize'Le Lion made their entry to the country.

The aggressiveness of foreign retailers could be a serious threat to the survival of local retail industry. The foreign retailers are all powerful financially and in technology and management. Foreign hypermarkets could afford to sell goods at a cheaper price making their local rival uncompetitive.

They could offer a lower price as they could enjoy discount from suppliers which receive cash payment. The foreign hypermarkets have stronger bargaining position and suppliers enjoy dealing with them because of the guarantee of cash payment.

Floor space expanding in Jakarta

The government has wanted to make Jakarta an international shopping center to attract foreign shoppers and tourists like Singapore and Hong Kong Hong Kong (hŏng kŏng), Mandarin Xianggang, special administrative region of China, formerly a British crown colony (2005 est. pop. 6,899,000), land area 422 sq mi (1,092 sq km), adjacent to Guangdong prov. . For that purpose legal basis should be provided with a law needed especially by foreign investors.

Tariffs may be distinguished from other taxes in that their predominant purpose is not financial but economic—not to increase a nation's revenue but to protect domestic  of space in shopping centers in Jakarta is cheaper than in Singapore and Hong Kong, a major factor attracting foreign retailers to come to the country such as Sogo Metro and Mark&Spencer. The problems, however are transport. The Jakarta streets are notorious for traffic jams. In addition, there is no master plan showing locations for new retailers such as in Jakarta.

The government sought to cope with the problem by building business centers in Jl. Sudirman which is designed to become a leading and modern shopping center. Such business districts will also be developed in JL. Sudirman, Jl. Gatot Subroto and Jl. HR. Rasuna Said Hajjah Rangkayo Rasuna Said (Maninjau, Agam, 14 September 1910–Jakarta, 2 November 1965) was a Minangkabau Indonesian nationalist political leader, and the first female minister of Indonesia. .

Many of shopping centers destroyed by rioters in the May Riots in 1998 have been repaired and new ones have been built in various areas. Land plots, therefore, become more expensive. In the past five years, the floor space of department stores in Jakarta has expanded by 3.5% a year--from 388,422 sq.m. in 1998 to 449,680 sq.m. in 2002.

North Jakarta has a lower population density compared with other areas in the capital city. With a population of 1,575,700, North Jakarta is less attractive than other areas.

Pojok Busana, Ramayana, and Borobudur aim at middle to low income market segments.

Selection of Location

Shopping centers chosen by dept. stores

The operators of shopping center as a highly competitive property business have to follow the modern trend of shopping center popular in the United States United States, officially United States of America, republic (2005 est. pop. 295,734,000), 3,539,227 sq mi (9,166,598 sq km), North America. The United States is the world's third largest country in population and the fourth largest country in area. . The name of mall becomes popular used by shopping centers like Pondok Indah Mall. From 1990 to 2000, 23 units of malls/plaza were built in Jakarta. The latest is Mal Taman Anggrek, the largest in Southeast Asia with a floor space of 950,000 sq.m.

A number of malls, which were closed following the May riots in 1998 such as Mal Jatinegara, have been reopened. The Yogya Department Store in Klender, which was destroyed by fire set by the rioters has also been repaired and resumed operation in the Citra Mall new building. However, development of new malls slowed down after the riots. From 2000 to 2002, there were only two new shopping centers completed namely STC STC Supplemental Type Certificate (FAA)
STC Society for Technical Communication
STC Subject to Change

Using space in shopping malls is not only anchor tenants department store and supermarket but also foreign retailers such as Sogo, Seibu and Metro. Metro has even expanded operation to Bandung opening an outlet in the Bandung Supermall, a new giant mall.

The department stores have facilities like parking lot, elevators, lifts, food centers, playground for children, etc.

Number of shopping centers increasing

Jakarta marked the 21st century with the operation of new shopping centers the type of ITC Mangga Dua and ITC Roxy Mas ITC Roxy Mas is a mall in West Jakarta noted for its mobile phone business. The majority of Jakartans choose to shop for mobile phones and their accessories at Roxy Mas due to the usually lower prices as compared to other retailers.  which have proved to be a success in sales by kiosks and shops.

Development of malls/plaza to be leased for 5 years to 20 years will need a huge fund. Now banks are not ready to extend large credits for the property sector.

The presence of anchor tenants such as department stores and supermarket in trade centers will provide an attraction for visitors to the shopping center.

Supply of goods and payment system

Department stores pay in cash or under consignment The delivery of goods to a carrier to be shipped to a designated person for sale. A Bailment of goods for sale.

A consignment is an arrangement resulting from a contract in which one person, the consignor, either ships or entrusts goods to another, the

Consignment system is used mainly for exclusive products like cosmetics and other imported and branded products. Cash payment system could be delayed a week for small suppliers and two weeks for large suppliers.

The payment terms are on agreement between the suppliers and the department stores. Matahari uses cash payment system for 70% of its goods. Lotus department store which eyes middle to high class market segment use cash payment only for 20% of its purchases. The rest is on consignment.

Shopper could pay for goods they buy by cash or by credit cards. Credit card used is either one from issuers or from the department store itself such as Matahari Card and Pasaraya card.

In addition to credit card some department stores issue membership card such as Matahari Member Card, Yogya Member Card and Sarinah Customer's Club, which offer discount and prize lottery lottery, scheme for distributing prizes by lot or other method of chance selection to persons who have paid for the opportunity to win. The term is not applicable when lots are drawn without payment by the interested parties to determine some matter, e.g. .

Competition

Competition is sharp among department stores lately.

 of people and therefore, will contribute to boosting the growth of department stores.

In addition, the increase in the number of middle class people with many rich people getting poorer as a result of the crisis, benefits middle class department stores, which are equal in class with department store abroad such as Sogo as those just degraded from high income bracket have been used to department stores aboard. Foreign department stores like Metro and the presence of one stop shopping hypermarket of Carrefour will be a threat to the survival of local department stores especially those with the market segment of middle to high class people. The threat should be seriously addressed. Before they move to grab other segments.
