| Change is the law of life and
those who look only to the past or the present are certain to
miss the future.

Change is constantly occurring in all areas of society and
in all parts of the world. Nowhere is change more important
than in business. |
| |
|
In the
U.S.A. and
Europe Shopping Malls, discount stores have replaced
downtowns, CDs have replaced records and tapes, and computers
have made typewriters obsolete. Digital images replaced
photographs, Cell phones, Two-way radios, Internet outpaced
newspaper, Television & Radio as the source for news &
information. |
| |
|
The first half of the twentieth century saw the arrival &
growth of large retail giants like Sears, Roebuck & Co, J.C.
Penny & later Wal-Mart and many more in the
U.S.A. These
are popularly known as “Superstores” or “Supermarkets”. |
| |
|
Supermarkets as they are called are large stores with the
concept of selling fresh meat, fish, vegetables, fruits
alongside other basic necessities of life and household
products in a hygienic well laid-out environment under one
roof and under measure of set standards for high quality and
consistent availability of products at best market
prices. |
| |
|
People in the west caught on with this concept fast for the
convenience it offers. Thus supermarkets grew rapidly in every
convenient place conceived. The concept has been a success
allover the developed world. |
| |
|
Not so quickly though in the developing countries like
Bangladesh. It was only in 2001 that the first supermarket got
started in the capital city Dhaka by the name and style of
Agora. Closely followed by Nandan to make a mention. Other
smaller ones sprang up on the success of the trend setters.
|
| |
| |
|
This no doubt boosted the courage of the sponsors of
Khulshi Mart to go ahead with their much earlier conceived
plan to set up a truly European standard supermarket in
Chittagong.
In 2005 a Dutch consultant was flown out to
Chittagong to survey the place where the store would be located and
advice on the equipments etc. Satisfied at the location the
consultant visited again to set up the store on arrival of the
equipments and train a bunch of completely raw would be
managers and staffs, with that Khulshi Mart opened up for
business at Khulshi, Chittagong on 10th February
2006. Since then Khulshi Mart has worked hard to curve out a
place for itself in the hearts of both the local people and
foreigners living in
Chittagong
by adopting an unique package of service which include but not
limited to : |
