Skudai has a large catchment area, hence the number of shopping centres built around Skudai. The shopping centres that are in and within Skudai are Skudai Parade, Jusco Taman Universiti, KIP Mart, Skudai Mall, The Store in Taman Ungku Tun Aminah, Sutera Mall in Taman Sutera Utama, U Mall in Taman Pulai Utama, Bestmart in Taman Nusa Bestari, Giant Hypermarket which along the Jalan Skudai. The latter two shopping centres were abandoned. Skudai plaza was abandoned due to bankruptcy attributing to poor business while Kemayan City was abandoned during the period of economic downturn. In fact, Kemayan City was planned to be Johor Baru's single biggest integrated shopping and commercial development project with its 64,800 sq m of retail space. Kemayan City will be refurbished and redeveloped into a contemporary shopping mall known as B8 mall starting mid 2010. It is expected to be completed to the end of 2012.

Famous quotes containing the word shopping:
“Most baby books also tend to romanticize the mother who stays at home, as if she really spends her entire day doing nothing but beaming at the baby and whipping up educational toys from pieces of string, rather than balancing cooing time with laundry, cleaning, shopping and cooking.”
—Susan Chira (20th century)
“Shopping seemed to take an entirely too important place in women’s lives. You never saw men milling around in men’s departments. They made quick work of it. I used to wonder if shopping was a form of escape for women who had no worthwhile interests.”
—Mary Barnett Gilson (1877–?)
“Children’s liberation is the next item on our civil rights shopping list.”
—Letty Cottin Pogrebin (b. 1939)
