HIPPO Stores is all set to inaugurate its 4th store in Ludhiana: Hippo Stores, India’s premier one-stop shop for all construction and building material requirements, has inaugurated its fourth store in Ludhiana at the Global Business Park.
The store spans 10,000 square feet and showcases over 12,000 products from more than 70 brands, available at wholesale prices to homeowners, contractors, and retailers. This outlet is the fourth of the 27 planned stores, scheduled to open across the country within the next five years.Hippo Stores has chosen the franchise route for this store in Ludhiana, considering the significant growth in residential construction across Punjab and the need for a strong local partner to address regional nuances. This site will offer an extensive range of building products required for home construction, including paints, hardware, bathrooms, kitchens, and tiles, among others.
With this store’s launch, Hippo Stores intends to enhance customer experience by providing them with a one-stop-shop where they can compare multiple brands, designs, and varieties of building material, all under one roof, making it the first of its kind. Unlike the unorganized building material market, the store offers transparent and wholesale pricing for all its products. The store guarantees genuine products sourced directly from leading brands, with the added advantage of in-store product experts providing advice to customers.
In reference to the launch, Amit Garg, Managing Director of Hippo Stores, stated, “Following the success of our stores in Delhi NCR and Chandigarh, we are delighted to extend our presence to Ludhiana in Punjab. When constructing a home, one faces numerous challenges, such as where to purchase various products, the authenticity of the materials, fair pricing, and expert advice.
We endeavour to address all of these concerns. The remarkable response that our stores in Delhi NCR have received from the market and customers confirm the demand for a one-stop solution for all building materials.”
The novel features of the recently launched franchise store in Ludhiana comprise mockup modular kitchens that showcase optimal utilization of space for kitchens. The colour lab and tinting rooms at Hippo Stores, a pioneering concept, are also available with tinting machines from leading brands to enable customers to visualize any colour and shade of their choice.
Talking about the launch, Shaman Sharma from Randev Infra, Hippo Stores’ franchisee partner in Ludhiana , said, “I am delighted to bring Hippo Stores to Ludhiana and offer our customers a unique shopping experience for all their building and construction material needs. Our store features a vast array of products from leading brands, expert advice from our in-store professionals, and a one-stop solution for all home-building needs. We look forward to serving the Ludhiana community and people across Punjab with our unparalleled service and quality products.”
