feasibility of opening retail malls in smaller towns in india?

The success of retail mall shopping in the West esp. in the U.S. is largely due to the attitudes of U.S. consumers. This is not say that such venture would necessarily work in a smaller town where the population is smaller, disposable income maybe lower etc. You have to do market research in a particular area and see if such venture would work.\n\nThat said, I have seen some strip shopping centers and  open-air marts in some African countries and they are doing quiet well. Perhaps that is also something to look into.

I love my small town. But I also like the fact that the next town over has everything you need...Wal-Mart, Blockbuster, restaurants, a movie theater, ect...\n\nFind youself a sweet spot like this, and you need nothing more.

If you run a regular store, you're limited to your immediate geographical area.  In fact, you may have an excellent product that you're selling to a limited market because of the population.\n\nE-Commerce is local, regional, national, WORLDWIDE!  If you have an online store, someone from the UK can get to it as easily as someone from Australia as easily as someone right next door to you.  The same product that did so/so locally could be very successful worldwide.  Any local population dwarfs the online E-Commerce population.

The arcade will probably be a tough one.  I wanted to a while ago and found out that there were all kinds of restrictions in zoning and "time" it could be open.  Because arcades attract "young" people, and because gang activity and the sort are big these days, you will have trouble getting a strip mall approving it and if they do your times to be open will be limited.  Too much liability anyway, I'd say find a good location for the laundrymat.

Would depend on where you are. You wouldn't want to start a lumber/hardware business next to a Lowe's. Think about the times you have wished that there was a this or that in your area and the odds are in favor of others wishing the same thing.

Indian Hotel Industry is in developing stage.5 star hotels are few,mainly in few metropolitan cities and business centres.Smaller cities are served by 3 star hotels.There is a dearth of good hotels in tourist centres.Even these centres they are fully occupied during season.There is ample scope for opening good hotels for middle class people and budjet tourists from foreign countries.State Tourism Deparment gives a lot of tax benefits and subsidies to promote hotel industry

Are you looking for funding on a Tier 2 Mall in Karnataka, India???\n\nIf so, I might be able to assist you. Unless you are one of those Nigerian Scandal deals, in that case I know a good agent at the FBI I can refer you to.

Some might.. in smaller communities where they have budget constraints\n\nIn my city, I can download a wide variety of audio books that can be loaded to .mp3 player\n\nThey have a huge bank of computers for Internet browsing, some are dedicated to the card catalog, some are dedicated to word processing

Wow! tough question! I am a businessman since 12 years and I am still looking for the answer. There are thousands of book about that subject which would describe it better than me.\nFirst be sure that your idea is genuily OK. BE SURE YOU HAVE THE KNOW HOW. I STARTED 3 businesses in retail with my partners. We lost LOTS of money of the chain of pahramcies, now it is profitable. then 2 years ago, we started with optics and children stuff things and we are still loosing money. Why? we subestimated the real costs, not adpated products, too expensive, supplliers with delays (so we get winter baby clothes on 15th december) etc etc etc. you've got the know how, do it! otherwise, RUN!\nSecond, I would say organisation \nThird: be sure you have a minimum of financial backup and and be original by providing services! people love to be treated nicely.\nAll I said also depends on the country and the business size

I think Hickhouse misunderstood the question.  Not suprising since he is an idiot.  But to answer your question, yes I do find this to be true.  Maybe because most of your smaller mall stores are selling products for less than your department stores, and I beleive the old adage holds true: you get what you pay for.

As far as i know there are no restrictions based on businessses. Retail however also is vast and so the ease with which you get a work permit/ job would depend on your job function.
