Bharti Walmart Pvt Ltd opens a wholesale cash-and-carry store at Raipur, in Chhattisgarh, taking the total number of outlets it operates in India to seven. The new ‘Best Price Modern Wholesale’ in Raipur is spread over 53,000 sq ft and stocks more than 5,500 items, including foods, fruits and vegetables, groceries, personal and home care items, hotel and restaurant supplies, apparel and other general merchandise items. The company launched its first store in Amritsar in May 2009. The other stores are located in Zirakpur, Jalandhar, Kota, Bhopal and Ludhiana. Expansion of the retail sector following the emergence of such a giant global player is a new business opportunity to the signage companies engaging in in-store/in-shop signages.
