Shopping Centre News - May 2019

Bu konuda

The shopping mall is on the cusp of a major
change.From being mere buildings housing stores,
they are evolving into becoming an integral part
of the community they belong to, places where
people spend their leisure time. This is particularly
true for a country like India where the weather
conditions and the need to move around in a car
dictate where people spend their free time! But just
when the mall was settling into a routine, came
a new medium of sale, in form of e-commerce.
People switched over for the convenience and the
comfort, the sea of choices, deep discounts and
doorstep delivery.
The Indian mall developer was jolted out of his
comfort zone, as shoppers who once thronged
malls were now ordering on phones, computers
and tablets, siphoning sales from physical stores.
They started facing the heat to reinvent their
shopping centres. And what a reinvention it has
been. From simply housing well-known chain
stores, cinemas and supermarkets,the Indian mall
has transformed itself into a FEC – a place where
people can eat, watch movies, take part in events
and activities, spend quality time in play zones
with their children, and maybe shop some!
Gyms, supermarkets, hotels, co-working space,
pop-up stores, expanded food courts, movie
theatres and event spaces are all filling up the retail
space in the malls, bringing in footfalls and pulling
back customers and revenue from e-commerce
