Kerala's financial hub, Kochi is now home to one of India's largest malls.The Lulu Mall, which opened in Kochi, is a shopper's delight. Spanning a little over 2.5 million sq ft and built at a cost of Rs 1,600 crore, it can accommodate nearly 300 national and international brands.
The man behind what is billed as the largest mall in India, MA Yusuffali, the promoter of Abu Dhabi-based retail powerhouse EMKE Group, is a Malayali.
The Edappally Junction became a cobweb of people and vehicles as people from the city and faraway places thronged the Lulu mall premises.The latest among the swash of malls across the country is Kochi's just-opened Lulu mall that is already changing the meaning of flurry of footfalls. This place is sure huge. Shoulder to shoulder, two lakh people can stand here, but since no one stands shoulder to shoulder in a mall, about one lakh people can easily swagger and shop at one of the largest malls in India—spread over a 2.5 million sq.ft complex on 17 acres, complete with a five-star Marriott, which is under construction.
Big brands are, of course, the big lure. So is the experience. Besides the ice rink, Lulu boasts a 5D cinema hall, apart from nine screens run by PVR Cinemas, the guys who taught us to enjoy big in small spaces. The escalators are joined by travelators to take fun lovers from one point of thrill in the mall to another. Seduction lurks at every corner: Lulu Hypermarket, Lulu Celebrate, Lulu Connect and much more. The food court can hold 3,500 people, but you can burn the calories at the entertainment zone, which includes the 5,000 sq.ft ice rink and cinemas that have waterjets streaming alongside while you watch Sonakshi shake it. You can do your spin, too, at the 12-lane bowling alleys.
Yusuffali said the mall would give the people of Kerala an international shopping experience. Though this was the 105thamong the LuLu malls across the globe, this would be a separate division, as the expansion of malls to other centres in the state and later outside the state would begin from here.
Kochiites are very delighted to host this mall because we can see a large number of tourists all over the World switching on to Lulu Mall for Shopping. Celebrities and other dignitaries also put their hands up for Lulu. Soon, Kochi will turn upto really BIG and this can make Kochi the most preferred destination for settlinmg.
