Walmart sharpens India focus again, plans for Agra store

Ending a two-year wait, Walmart is readying plans to open its 21st store in India. The latest cash-and-carry or wholesale outlet, for selling products from grocery to apparel and consumer electronics to businesses, offices and organisations, is coming up in Agra by the middle of 2015 as it has been confirmed. This will be Walmart’s second store in Agra, converting what not-so-long-ago was operated by its French rival, Carrefour, the second largest retailer in the world. The latter chain shut its India operation recently due to mounting losses and unviable business. Signage companies engaging in in-shop designs, displays and related activities will get a new impetus in business about in-shop branding, designs and related tasks
