A new shop in Anna Nagar by the Oceania group, which had a couple of Ministers at the gala inauguration function yesterday. We went some hours later only to find that it quite crowded. It had vegetables and other provisions on the ground floor and varieties of fish and mutton and beef and stuff on sale. There were live lobsters and prawns and freshwater fish for sale.
I havent seen any shops abroad but we got a gut feeling that they shop was trying to have an international flavour in its display and sale. The cash counter seemed a bit disorganised though. Anyway it will give Fisho'fish (a chain of fish shops in the city which sells varieties of fish at decent prices) a run for its money - I think people now want class, even if things are a bit more expensive. They have the money to splurge, so why go to an ordinary cold storage and come away smelling of fish?
The name Fish n'Fresh reminds me of the joke about selling fish. About a guy who sat selling fish with the board "Fresh fish sold here". Some one came and told him that the word 'here' was superfluous, so he struck it off. Next someone else told him that the word 'fresh' was not necessary if the fish looked fresh. So he struck off that too. Next another person told him that it is not necessary to have the word 'fish' as it was obvious. So in the end the board just read: SOLD! And so nobody bought his fish. :)

The concept of Mall is catching up in India and the only constraint is space in the cities. But I am sure they will find a way out by moving the malls out of the city. Someone said that outside Chennai a huge mall is coming up. To give you an idea of an mall outside India you can visit the City Center in Radhakrishna Salai. It is promoted by ETA group based in Dubai. And you get everything there...AM
In Delhi, most of the malls are outside the city - say in Gurgaon.
City Centre has Victorian architecture; was almost in danger of being demolished for flouting building rules. The parking fees are very high and you cant get anything that costs less than Rs.50 to eat (must be 100 min now).
hi, oh boy u guys frighten me.. when we were studying in Wcc our closeest was fountain plaza`and hot breads... yummy food,, but cost was high..Rs10..now Rs 100!
hmm

take care

Fountain plaza is way too expensive now. I was there a few years ago and was aghast watching the price of salwars. Spencer's is another expensive place. With big guys like Oceana Group taking over slowly, I have to wonder what happens to the small time fishermen.
