Saravana stores shopping is an experience
The first time I had gone shopping to the Saravana Stores – The Legend, Panagal Park, T.Nagar was in 2009. During my school days (in the 1980s) when we used to live in Ranganathan Street, I had gone to the first Saravana Stores many times.
Every visitor to Chennai city should definitely make a visit to the famous Saravana Stores – The Legend. It is an experience to shop here – both good and bad. For every category of items, there is a wide variety to select from and the price is reasonable. They have a cafeteria as well – don’t ask me about the quality of food as I have never tried that.
Almost always the shop is crowded, more so on weekends and festival days, but when I went on a Thursday afternoon it had more staff than shoppers, making it convenient for me to shop.
For a few years now, they have adequate car and two-wheeler parking facility at the street (Lakshmi Narasimhan) behind Panagal Park – you pay Rs.100 for car parking and they discount that in your purchase bill.
India’s retail king Mr Kishore Biyani has said in his book “It Happened in India” that Saravana Stores was the inspiration behind their Big Bazaar venture.

Dear Karthik, You should now be getting the emails. Thanks, for constantly following up on this. I just couldn’t remember how I had earlier setup email notifications, I was going through all settings in WordPress, Mail Plugins and so on. It turns out I was earlier using the JetPack feature to email notifications, and for some reasons it had got turned OFF. Now I have enabled it.

hmmm, interesting observation on the post ending abruptly. Actually, I didn’t have anymore to say :-) Wish I had taken more pictures, but didn’t have the time to do that yesterday – I had a friend calling me to come for a meeting quickly!
