WALMART is planning to open 10 new cash & carry stores in Karnataka. Recently the company had signed an agreement with Karnataka government to open the stores in the south Indian state. The company has also committed for women entrepreneurship development programme to be rolled out in the state. WALMART was currently running this programme on two fronts – demand side and supply side, in which a source from the company said the demand side included developing women entrepreneurs who can open kirana stores or small hotels, restaurants and dhabas to whom they will supply at low costs. Such new initiative of WALMART will bring in a fresh business opportunity to the signage companies dealing in in-shop branding, displays, designs and related activities.
