In a clear signal of growing urbanisation in Tamil Nadu, Madurai is all set to get its first mall. Vishal Mall will be the second mall in the state, outside Chennai, the other being Brookfields Plaza in Coimbatore. Located near Pandian Hotel, an old landmark in the temple city, Vishaal Mall will have Reliance Trends (along with Footprint) as its anchor store. The other retailers who have signed on for space include the Landmark Group’s value retail format Max, denim brands Lee and Wrangler and footwear brand Woodlands. Sprouting of new malls across the country will be an added advantage for the signage companies involving in this sector.
