Kishore Biyani’s Future Group has decided to invest more than Rs 125 crore over the next six months to expand the Big Bazaar chain of hypermarts in the East. The group intends to nearly double the number of Big Bazaar outlets from 22, at present, to 40 by October in the region.
The latest thrust on expansion comes at a time when the group is betting on community retailing as the new business model for Big Bazaar. It has also created a sub-brand ‘Big Bazaar Family Centre’ that is completely focused on community retailing and is spread over 60,000-70,000 sq ft as compared to a Big Bazaar store spread over 35,000-40,000 sq ft.
In fact, the Future group also plans to reorient all the existing Big Bazaar stores in the region as per this new business model. It has plans to convert two existing Big Bazaar stores in Ranchi and Guwahati into Big Bazaar Family Centres.
“At present, Big Bazaar is spread over 10 lakh sq ft in the East. We will add another 6 lakh sq ft as part of the expansion process. While earlier the focus was to drive returns on a per sq ft, the model of this format has now changed completely. We now want to include products which may not lead to volume sales but will cater to the entire shopping basket of a family,” said Future Value Retail chief operations (East) Manish Agarwal.
Future Value Retail, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Future Group flagship Pantaloon Retail India Ltd, is a newlyformed company that owns the value formats – Big Bazaar and Food Bazaar.
As part of the expansion plan, Future Group will also enter into several newer markets in the East like Patna, Asansol, Agartala, Silchar, Deoghar, Bilaspur, Raniganj, Liluah and Gangtok. While the group already operates seven Big Bazaar stores in Kolkata, it plans to add another seven by October.
“We’ve already acquired real estate for the new stores and they are under various stages of development. Once the proposed Big Bazaar expansion is complete, we will look at new opportunities for standalone Food Bazaar stores in the East,” said Mr Agarwal.

Will Big Bazaar ever open in Silchar (Assam)? It was published that the store would be opened in the heart of the town within a year time. .. by October 2010! It was the story of March 2010. But we do not see any sign of such happening! They need to plan and forecast properly beforehand; else stories will always remain stories.. will never turn into reality!
Same is the case with Agartala! Will northeast always remain deprived????? Would someone answer please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!??

The hype of big bazaar in Agartala is being heard since long time. Practically, nobody knows when the store will open. A huge 8-storey building is under construction at Mantribari Road at the site of erswhile Rupashi cinema hall. It is also been overheard that, a multiplex cinema will also be opened at the same complex. We hope the construction gets completed at earliest and big bazaar makes foray into the market of Agartala.
