It was Saturday
evening.We were strolling along the busy roads of Avinashi. It was then that we
caught a glimpse of Fun Republic – a total entertainment destination to chill
out. Located amidst a cluster of educational institutions, this mall promises to offer a different
shopping experience to the denizens.
As we tried to sneak
in, the guards at the gate showed the other way for the entrance.It was then,
when we heard a gang of girls grumbling about the improper way to entrance. But
as we stepped in, we were dumbstruck by looking at the infrastructure of the
mall. It has a unique design with a large dome shaped structure which makes it
stand distinct amongst the other malls in the city.There are a wide variety of
shops.As per the affinity of teenagers and youth towards brands, this mall
brings together some of the hottest names in the retail sector – Shopper’s
Stop, Reliance group, a host of other retail brands and fast food giants like
Mc Donalds’s.As we were glancing at the elegant showrooms, Malathi ,a 30 year
old woman remarked that the mall has a great look.
As we were striding
towards the escalator, we encountered a family which seemed to be trying it’s
luck with the escalator.”The escalators are at standstill” is what they
said.When asked about the mall, they told us that they are eagerly waiting for
the gaming zone to get opened.The family did enjoy the pleasant ambience. One
among those came with a suggestion that jute bag stalls could be put up in the
central arena.
After having a hearty meal
at Mc Donalds, our noses had a tingling when we sensed a rich chocolate aroma.As
we rushed to check out the chocolate store, we met Mr. Sanjay who expressed his
dissatisfaction with the parking lots. But he remarked that he really enjoyed
relishing the different types of cuisines in the food court.A few of them felt
that it would have been nice if there had been a couple of wash basins
installed near the food court. Mr.Deepak told us that he found it easy to locate
shops with the help of the electronic displays at each floor picturizing the
map of the mall.
The mall can also have some
coffee shops in it’s lounge which would attract the youth.Though the mall has some
flaws, it is undoubtedly a perfect place for shopping and entertainment.People
irrespective of their age can have an enthralling experience.Fun republic is a
mere place for fun and frolic and is a tough competitor for Brookefields.
