Retail store chains - Discussions, news, updates

[Star NXT]

There are several retail store types. Main ones are:

1. Department store - large store with several departments like clothing, electronics.
2. Supermarkets - large grocery store focusing on food items
3. Convenience store - small grocery store selling mainly food, toiletries, non-prescription medicines etc.
4. Hypermarket (combines department store and supermarket)

This thread is for major chains of retail stores in India.

Bhai log... What's up with smart bazaar(aquired from Future group biyani).Its always empty. No customers seems to like the experience of it. Asking the store manager he himself says he's looking for opportunities in other retail firms.
Does Ambani really care about retail business. Big bazaar was better before, until greed got him.

Central Travancore would be the right term I guess.

The number is pretty large compared to other chains. In some towns there are two or three Mores within walking distance.

Yes. Reliance grocery stores are pretty bad. Prices are not displayed on shelves. More Supermarkets have prices nicely displayed infront of each slot on the shelves.

Reliance Trends (clothing retail) is pretty good though.

Btw, what happened to Future Group? Most of their websites are down.

He got into debt after launching his Big Bazaar Next supermarket chain courtesy his daughter. Ambani saw it as an opportunity and grabbed it. I think even amazon was in fray and legal battle is still going on.
