There is about 3,000 m2 in the Ground floor for “Delica World” as an open kitchen style, the next are “AEON Wellness” and “AEON Bike shop” for who interest in beauty and health, the Trendy fashion zone and opposite is Café and fast food zone, at the end of the ground floor is Japan Zone. Although they are settled in separate zone in Ground Floor, the space from this zone to another is still close. Obviously, the “Delica World”- food court is very close to TheFace shop at beauty and health zone. So, when people pass by Food court to the Face shop, they accidentally bring the food smell to the beauty shop (AEON Mall, 2014).
