Reliance Smart Superstore 📉

Reliance Smart Superstore are getting closed in the City. Employees are asked to work in the left over branches or to leave the work. The reason seems like they are clossing their stores which are in the rental buildings and Gandhipuram store seems like they own that building too. I wish the original owner of Shri Kannan Departmental store could have holded it a little longer without selling it to Reliance. It had more footfall comparing to what Reliance had after they took over it. when Kannan Departmental store owned it, it gave me that feel good and nostalgic vibe like an all in one store with chat items, pop corn, icecream machine, from vegetables, vessel, home electronics, daily groceries, stationery, toys, bags, Diwali Special sweets and crackers etcs. It's not like a super flashy store but a good one. I used spend my sunday evening shopping there with my parents during my childhood in both Erode and Coimbatore ❤️. After Reliance took over it, they entirely remodeled the store more modern which took the soul out of it. I think that's why it started failing even though they gave huge discounts on products especially on Wednesdays.
