The Times in Indonesia’s Mission
Instilled with the vision of becoming Indonesia’s foremost bookstore chain and providing the preferred book shopping experience to the country’s growing readership, Times Bookstores Indonesia is moving forward with the creation of an expansive network of retail outlets throughout Jakarta and the rest of Indonesia, concentrating on strategic locations and leveraging the synergies of the relationship with parent company PT Matahari Putra Prima Tbk. Times is also uniquely positioned to leverage its relationship with the entire Lippo Group of companies, whether in its large-scale property development projects, its hotels, or its educational institutions and facilities.
Through a customer-oriented approach and a genuine drive to inspire the public to develop a greater passion for books through community activities centered on reading and writing, particularly directed at children and young people. Within the stores themselves, customers are presented with a unique mix of merchandise: alongside the wide variety of English-language books and magazines are other sections comprising Indonesian and Chinese language books, a comprehensive range of children’s reading materials, and a selection of attractive, high-quality stationery products. Times Bookstores Indonesia is committed to cementing its image as the leading international bookstore in Indonesia, providing an unparalleled level of customer care and service, exceeding expectations while achieving competitive returns for stakeholders.
In tandem with this aim, Times has the goal of sharing the joy of reading and the educational benefits of books with all strata of Indonesian society, thus contributing to development and intellectual growth of this nation of almost 250 million citizens.
