A new Reliance Fresh store opened opposite to my apartment complex around a month
back. Everyone in the neighboring area seemed very excited for the fact that
we’ll get the Freshest vegetables everyday. Also all were enjoying the fact
that the poor street seller or the petty veg shop will be closed soon. Upon
visiting reliance fresh the following are my experience summary
-
The veg products are NOT FRESH at all. In the plastic container where they are
kept only top 10-20% vegs are of ok quality rest are ROTTEN. So if you are not
the lucky enough to visit the store in first 30-45 mins from the opening time
you’ll struggle all your way to find something which is not rotten in the
beautiful air-conditioned store !!
-
The fruit quality in the WORST one you’ll ever find. Almost all of them have
some issues. It happened to me multiple times that I was totally fed-up
searching for something which I can carry back home and at the end of it I had
kept the trolley midway and came out of store red in anger
-
Only one good thing about Reliance fresh is the petty shop or small sellers
around they brought down the prices of vegs they sell in the fear that the
crowd will go to Reliance. So they offer much better things at competitive
price now. The price will come next as at-least you have to find some vegetable
which are eatable.
I’m
very surprised to see that the store is doing very well even thought the
quality of things didn’t improve by a single inch also (I visit once in a week
to see how are things). All the hi-fi people come in costly cars, park them in
front of the store, enter the shop as if they are entering some beauty parade
and happily take the rotten stuffs back home (I actually observed them taking).
