History

Jem's official opening was initially planned to be on 11 June 2013. Due to initial tenancy issues, the opening of the mall was delayed.^[1] On 15 June 2013, Jem finally opened and attracted more than 10,000 shoppers at the time of the opening.^[2]

In 2019, JEM underwent minor renovations at Basement 1.^{[citation needed]}

In August 2020, anchor tenant Robinsons was closed down^[3] and replaced by IKEA in 2021. The first small-store concept in Southeast Asia, this IKEA store will however not have a children's playground and built-in warehouse. The outlet opened on 29 April 2021 at 10am.^[4]
