Reliance Retail: First store in Hyderabad in September
With the mega 25000 crore project in the news from June onwards this year, the company has now announced to open its first store in the Hi-tech city of Hyderabad. The store will be a specialty store of vegetable and food. “We will be opening our first store in Hyderabad in September and this will be a very large store with food, vegetables and staples,” Reliance Retail president and chief executive (operations and strategy) Raghu Pillai said.
The company was in news with the governments and cooperative chains for alliances in the sector. There was a news some days back that the Reliance is looking for real estate in different states. The company had plans to spread to other parts of the country soon, though refusing to divulge details on the number of stores it hoped to close this fiscal year with.
Our Review: With growing retail sector in the country and specially the ongoing foreign investments in the retail sector, the future of this sector is definitely bright. With Reliance getting into this sector with a blast, it is definitely going to hurt the existing big B’s like Vishal Megamart, Super Bazaars and Big Bazaars.
