With a focus on the one-stop-shop experience, the Kion Waterfront will incorporate stores that provide for the everyday needs of an individual. The idea is to create a complex that a shopper could visit to get everything they need in one trip. In efforts to do this, there is a market for those who need to shop for sustenance and retail stores to provide clothing and accessories. As for those who wish to make their trip more of an experience there are two restaurants on the main level and a café on the 2nd level. Additionally, Kion wants to promote health and fitness by providing a fitness center for those shoppers who would like to get in a workout prior to or post other activities. The spa furthermore is a place for relaxation and delivers for the beauty needs of all genders. A main attraction within Kion is the library which embraces the magic of reading and the imagination it embodies.
