Specialty Stores:
Chains such as the Bangalore based Kids Kemp, the Mumbai
books retailer Crossword, RPG's Music World and the Times
Group's music chain Planet M, are focusing on specific market
segments and have established themselves strongly in their sectors.
Discount Stores:

discounts on the MRP through selling in bulk reaching economies
of scale or excess stock left over at the season. The product
category can range from a variety of perishable/ non perishable

Large stores ranging from 20000-50000 sq. ft, catering to a
variety of consumer needs. Further classified into localized
departments such as clothing, toys, home, groceries, etc.
Department Stores:
Departmental Stores are expected to take over the apparel
business from exclusive brand showrooms. Among these, the
biggest success is K Raheja's Shoppers Stop, which started in
Mumbai and now has more than seven large stores (over 30,000
sq. ft) across India and even has its own in store brand for clothes
called Stop!.
Hypermarts/Supermarkets:
Large self service outlets, catering to varied shopper needs
are termed as Supermarkets. These are located in or near
residential high streets. These stores today contribute to 30% of all
food & grocery organized retail sales. Super Markets can further
be classified in to mini supermarkets typically 1,000 sq ft to 2,000
sq ft and large supermarkets ranging from of 3,500 sq ft to 5,000
sq ft. having a strong focus on food & grocery and personal sales.
Convenience Stores:
These are relatively small stores 400-2,000 sq. feet located
near residential areas. They stock a limited range of high-turnover
convenience products and are usually open for extended periods
during the day, seven days a week. Prices are slightly higher due to
the convenience premium.
MBO’s :
Multi Brand outlets, also known as Category Killers, offer
several brands across a single product category. These usually do
well in busy market places and Metros.

Price variations
Product/Services prices have exploded worldwide. Prices of
Product has risen100%-200%in one year alone. like price of
Trousers 114% , pants 125% and cloths about 200% in last two to
five years .The years 2007- 2008 saw dramatic rises in world
goods prices creating global crisis and causing political and
economical instability social unrest in both poor developed nations
Hypothesis:
It's the evil speculators. Speculators who
anticipated higher prices would have held more inventories. But
the graph shows that inventories have dropped from 2000 onwards.
There was less hoarding, not more. The bulk of trading on futures
markets is speculative: but for every buyer on a futures market
there's an equal and opposite seller (by definition). A bigger
futures open interest has no net effect on prices.
