I am a resident of Wakad, Pune so frankly speaking do not have many options when it comes to visiting a mall for a shopping fiesta. Xion mall is the closest to my home so is the most feasible place to go.
But here is the problem, it is just a multiplex for me than a mall. That is because E-Square is the only thing to keep it running.
The definition of a mall states "a large enclosed shopping area from which traffic is excluded". Sadly there are no big shopping options available other than Big Bazaar and Brand Factory, which again do not offer any exclusive clothing options. Here are some of the cons of this mall:
The 2 wheeler parking on the lowermost basement is not spacious at all. My bike even got scratched once because the person besides parked his bike so close to mine due to space crunch.
There is no clothing or accessory brand store whatsoever in the mall for exclusive shopping. Big Bazaar is 50% of a grocery store, can’t compare it to Shoppers Stop or Lifestyle.
There are gaming sections of "Laser tag" and "No Escape" but these are the places to visit once in months or years.
