For men, supermarkets are taking the place of paanwalahs, where they can come in for a quick break and buy cigarettes and cool drinks. The working community looks to these supermarkets as places to unwind before heading towards work or home. These shoppers typically hangout at the doorstep after their purchase and are prime shoppers for impulse products.
