Big Bazaar makes its entry into Coimbatore !!!

Big Bazaar makes its entry into Tamil Nadu with Coimbatore as its first stop

First things first. It has car parking — albeit limited — and a space opposite for two wheelers. But Big Bazaar is definitely big. There is no question about that. Several floors, spacious, well-lit and with all kinds of merchandise, there is something for everyone here.

On a rainy day (we have been having quite a few of them lately), it is a relief to stroll around in comfort picking up groceries, vegetables, or anything else your heart desires.

Kids are going to be especially excited at the glass elevator within the shop that affords a bird's eye view of the various wares on sale, and, there is also an escalator for those unable to climb stairs.

For the health conscious and the energetic, wide stairways provide comfortable movement from floor to floor.

Kiddies delight


If you want to shop in peace, then do your kids' shopping first. Toys and books are available for various age groups. The collection of books is a bit sparse at the moment, but no doubt it will increase.

The only reservation one could have is that the staff doesn't seem to know too much about what books there are and what there aren't, and when asked they disappear without a trace!

For the plastic dabba lovers, there is plenty to choose from. They are shaped, sized, coloured and textured to suit your kitchen's décor.

Stainless steel vessels, also in vast numbers and variety, non-stick cookware, melmoware and glassware all make up an entire section. Interesting bathroom accessories like shelves to hold your lotions, shampoos and soaps as well as towel hangers are available at reasonable rates.

Discounts by the dozen


There are a lot of bargains on at the moment. Quite a few products come with a freebie attached — it is either a discount or a `buy two and get one free' kind of an offer. Toiletries, groceries, freshly ground spices and coffee fill the shelves and you are sure to find your favourite brands right here.

Clothes are a plenty, with crinkled skirts, casual denims, shirts and kids wear occupying a large area. Furniture is another attraction here with fuss-free bookshelves, cabinets, cupboards and dining sets offering you quite a choice.

Bedroom furniture and living room ones are also available.

It is all a bit bewildering at first. There are a lot of things for your eyes and ears to take in. But it is a kind of a place that one could get used to. Big Bazaar will soon have a food court and a beauty parlour! How's that for a complete experience?
