LuLu Group opens its first hypermarket in Chennai at Shenoy Nagar Metro Station, in a store spanning about 1 lakh square feet. Multiple outlets report that the new “one-stop” format brings categories such as groceries, fresh produce, baked goods, fashion, and electronics under a single roof.
On opening day, shoppers queue for long periods, with one report describing checkout lines reaching up to two hours. Other coverage focuses on the store’s location and the hypermarket concept rather than shopper turnout. Taken together, the reporting portrays the launch as a high-attendance retail event driven by the breadth of products available on-site. No outlet disputes the store size or its placement at the metro hub, though they vary in emphasis between consumer traffic and store specifications.
