Coimbatore gets LuLu’s first hypermarket in Tamil Nadu
The HinduThe first impression takes your breath away. There is an extensive organic foods counter showcasing millets, a colourful salad bar where you can make your own salad, health and diet food, and also some tasty dishes made by LuLu’s in-house chefs – from biryani and shawarmas to delightful munchies. Another notable aspect is fresh fruits, vegetables and dairy are sourced directly from farmers in and around the Coimbatore belt including Pollachi, Satyamangalam, Theni, Hosur and Thanjavur. G Sriram Prasad, founder of keeraikadai.com, an e-commerce company that sells 40 plus varieties of keerai across Coimbatore by networking with farmers in Coimbatore and Madurai is delighted with the thrust given to greens and vegetables harvested from Tamil Nadu. While fresh vegetables like beet root and carrot come from Udhagamandalam, avocados are sourced from Kodaikanal and native mangoes from Tamil Nadu benefiting farmers in a big way.
