The mood is thus, extremely upbeat as far as the retail options in Punjab are concerned. Some of the recent decisions by major retailers on strategic investments have been made in the direction of non-metro locations, as clearly evident from the announcements made in the smaller towns and cities of Ludhiana, Jalandhar, Chandigarh, Amritsar, Patiala and Mohali.
Punjab will possibly be the largest gainer in the process of retail evolution in the country.
People of Punjab not only earn more but also spend more which is a healthy sign for retail to grow in the state.
Punjab is, thus, all set to experience the phenomenon of a major retail boom, representing a grand opportunity to all the retailers at large to exploit its huge consumption potential.
