How does this letter-form communicate its location?

BIG BOOKSHOP is a local bookshop; this particular outlet located in USJ 10 since 1989. The signage looks fairly new compared to the store–which speaks volumes of how long this book shop has been around. Ask anyone living in Subang Jaya: this would be their nearest point for a bookstore to stock up on school supplies before a new term. Their business hours sign is made up of paper with stencil-drawn text, which tells a little about their business before going in. This bookshop has been around before I was born and has been here since. While neighbouring stores have changed, Big Bookshop remains.
