TRADe AREA ANALYSIS • Hyperstar Retail facility centrally located in Fortress Stadium Lahore
Cantt Lahore, where the daily traffic count crosses 70 thousand to 1 lac.
• Nearest areas which can easily access it includes :GulbergDefense Canal Walton
• It is situated in the commercial hub of Lahore with very high traffic and visibility.
• People of different ages and of different social classes visit this area on daily basis.
• Metro and Makro are wholesalers while it is the first retail store in Lahore.
• No shopping limits in Hyperstar while in other two it is compulsion.
• Located in an ideal market which is already in running good fortress stadium.
• Much better Customer care
• Parking
Further Focus & Expansion Plan • As it is already present in 19 countries with 52 retail markets.
• Focusing on more retail stores in different markets as they recently opened a new store in Dolman Mall Karachi.
• With the passage of time Hyper star is expanding and diversifying its market.
PROBLEMS No proper Café for the buyers to eat, you can not eat anything inside
the Store, only a coffee shop is present inside the Hyperstar.
Less space as compare to Metro and Makro although it is double storey but products are more and space is lesser.
Display of goods is minimum which is a great draw back, specially in textile. No dummies are available for the display of clothing.
Expanse of land on parking causes security issues specially with vehicles.
electronics area is not quite as impressive as it should’ve been.
Unimpressive book-store.
Conclusions& Recommendations Store should be enhanced in its design , layout and fixtures.
They should allow students to complete their research on Hyperstar and must be permitted to capture images of product placement.
Website should be updated regularly and even Facebook page should be updated on regular basis.
They should increase security at entrance and at parking place.
Should increase other good brands which are carrying their own personal good credibility, it will increase store traffic.
Soft music in background
Customer service center should be given more space to keep customers luggage.
