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.”

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.
