Just this week, the company inaugurated a new store in Morbi, Gujarat, elevating its total count of supermarket outlets to 333.

As part of this transaction, Avenue Supermarts has fulfilled its stamp duty obligations, amounting to Rs 4.04 crore, during the registration process that took place on August 24, according to documents sourced via Propstack. Furthermore, the deal grants the company exclusive access to 44 car parking spaces within the Gauri Excellency tower.
