One of the things I have dearly missed after moving to Bangalore after spending many years in Bay Area, California is electronics shopping, or just simply browsing around in stores like Frys, Best Buy, Staples, OfficeMax,… Roaming around in Fry’s was a favorite way for me to spend a lazy Sunday afternoon.
Looks like I might get a little bit of that fun back. Staples has opened a store in Bangalore last Saturday. It is supposed to be a large (20000 sqft) store and well stocked. I haven’t been there yet, but definitely looking forward to spending a few hours (and god knows how many Rupees) there!
Trivia: The Bangalore store is Staples’ 2000th store.
Update: Website for Staples in India – http://www.staplesfuture.com
Update1: The store is near Marathahalli Junction, on Outer Ring Road, Opposite Inox movie theatre.
Update2: You can now read the review of the store in my new post.
