"Biyani's next call is 'Small Bazaar'"
The project is the launch of KB’s Fairprice Value Stores (KBFVS), a no-frills, deep discount format, sometime in August that will focus on local catchment areas and service the daily requirements of consumers. Sources call it a radically different concept and services model which is based on a German no-frills discount format, LIDL (owned by Schwarz). Pantaloon is planning a ‘bombardment strategy’ that will see the group swarming a particular area with clusters of stores. The group plans to set up 1,500 stores over 18 months across top cities.
