variety of Salwar Kameez, nightwear and lingerie.
The Perfume and Cosmetic Section has a variety of beauty
products and herbal care products. The Children's Section
has everything from kids' fashion wear, to soft toys, games and
feeding accessories.
The
best-stocked section in the superstore is the Footwear Section,
with sandals moccasins, sportswear, formal wear, casuals and slippers.
And you don't even need a Shop Assistant for this section! The
Home Décor Section gives you everything from exquisite cushion
covers to dinner sets at affordable prices. The Accessories Section,
with cuff links, belts, etc. ensures that your looks are right,
even down to the smallest detail. A steaming cup of coffee and a
bite at their Café helps rejuvenate tired shoppers.
