    Would be interesting to see how much of foot fall will actually turn into purchases considering the amount of window shopping happening at malls.

    Congrats to Lulu chain of supermarkets across the world. We have heard of coming this giant shopping mall in Cochi since three years. Being given to understand that instead of going to Dubai for a shopping, Lulu's new mall in Kochi is an alternate. You shop all imported goods at a rate on par that are available in the Gulf markets.

    Good luck to new Mall.
