The piper at the gates of dawn - II

SD's retail tale for Vishal Megamart looks as shown below :


Net-net , the store needs to maintain itself and will reap the benefits in near future. It tailors to various needs and I loved the store cos it had some good features.

the GOOD :

  • Store has in-house cafeteria and small refreshment section.
  • Buns and other bakery products are prepared fresh and at the location.
  • First store where I have seen the sports section.
  • Outside store , VMM has allowed Mehandiwallah to use some space. So till dad/husband shops, girls can get mehandi on their hands.

the BAD:

  • Store needs to be better managed.
  • The floors are so big that people don't understand the exact location of each section.
  • The ground floor, with everyday groceries, has to have some shelves to keep the items.

the UGLY:

  • Clothing section is on wrong floor and totally mismanaged.
  • The grocery items are kept in cardboard boxes and it looks nasty !

Net-net, I believe there is lot of scope for improvement for Vishal megamart. Overall rating stands at 6.5 out of 10
