GREAT SURROUNDING, latest products, prices that don’t burn a hole in the pocket, tempting offers besides foolproof security. This is the story of the mall culture in the city that is becoming a rage.
A decade back, one had to head to different stores for buying products. But now times are changing and with that, Kanpurites too have shed their old purchasing habits.
Pratiksha Singh, a housewife, said, “Shopping in a mall not only saves on time but minimizes the workload. Besides, it is an altogether new experience.”
Kavita Sharma, a sales executive in a multinational bank, said, “Due to excess workload, I find it difficult to take out time for shopping, but with malls, I save on time. Then, one gets affordable prices. Apart from products of daily use, malls offer branded clothes and accessories. No wonder, getting everything under one roof in an air-conditioned ambience is an added bonanza.”
Pradeep Kumar, general manager of a private company, said, “Now, I walk into a branded store in a shopping mall and believe me, my shopping is over in a jiffy.”
Nikky Gupta, studying in class 11, said, “It is a one-stop junction for me to flaunt the latest style statement.”
Harsh Jain, pursuing BSc, said, “Then, there are several food stores and multiplex to choose from and add to the merrymaking.”
Sales executive of a branded garment store, Dinesh Nigam said, “Kanpurites have fallen in love with the mall culture because of the reasonable prices and attractive discounts.”
No wonder, malls are here to stay.
