If your monthly earning crosses 70, 000 bucks , then he/she should opt for a shopping at the Pantaloons.No doubt the brands owned by Pantaloon cant be compromised & nevertheless it possess a class of its own, yet it can never fit the pockets of our middle class society.Well these types of malls are better suited to the big metropolitan & growing cities, yet this acts as a tourist place rather than a mall in small cities like Bhubaneswar where there is only a handful of affluent population. If the whole country is taken into consideration, then tell as to what is the strength of the rich population & what is the no of our middle class ?
So how many can afford the products of Pantaloon ?Rather in the other hand ‘the big bazaars’ caters to the budgeted class.As a part of middle class segment, I visit the Pantaloons not for any buying purposes rather for a stroll.I do like to enjoy having a glimpse of new textile products, eatery, electronic gadgets, etc.Normally these type of malls acts as a sightseeing centres where we people go for relaxation under the air conditioners & have a cold drink.Nothing more than that.Now coming back to the products, it may have possessed the best brands, but the T-shirt which I owned for more than 500 odd bucks showed bubbling & colour fading after just a month.Similarly the LCD bought by my friend from Pantaloons was fitted in his room after four days of buying the product.A lot of my friends complains about the exchange of their products after buying.Similarly the recent 50% discount offer is just an attempt to woo the customers.But do tell me how many would buy a pair of rebock shoes with an 50 % discount tag with an MRP price of around Rs 3500?
In short, I would like to specify that the Pantaloon is just a dream for people in small cities.
