The mall has become a cool hangout place with people of all age groups dropping in with friends and family. It has assumed a favourite place of entertainment for the families. The area on Rashbehari connector got a facelift with the edifice of Acropolis Mall and the area is referred to as Acropolis Bus stop by travelllers and public vehicles.
In fact a neighbourhood is incomplete Without Shopping Malls or Shopping Centre in today’s time as malls create a novel experience for the people with its comprehensive offering in retail , dining and entertainment of all age groups. Malls have huge potential to create employment and that also for the grey to white collar jobs which are much needed in urban and suburban areas. There is a huge shift from rural to suburban and urban areas of the Indian population. Migration to Urban center is happening for proper healthcare, job opportunities, education etc and Malls and Shopping Centres are creating huge job opportunities . Therefore I see a huge growth opportunity of the areas where new malls will come up. “
