Guess which was the first ever supermarket in Chennai? Can’t? Read on…

Now, if you were looking for the freshest bread, stringy cheese to sprinkle on pizza, jams, pizza base, pepper papads, mixture, deodrant, soaps, fresh bread rolls / sticks, quality pulses, chocolate coated biscuits, crunchy celery, Iceberg lettuce, baking powder and soft spongy paneer, do you think you could find it under one roof in Chennai? Of course you can!

The first ever, authentic supermarket in Chennai, arrived when the Bangalore based Nilgiri’s opened shop in conservative Chennai, giving a new twist to “grocery shopping!”
For a Chennaite, Nilgiri’s does not require any introduction. The shop has been in existence for such a long time, that it has become quite a landmark in the city. It can be safely referred to as one of the pioneers to endorse the super market concept. Even after the onslaught of retail food marts Nilgiris continues to stand tall. With its organised inventory and quality assurance, the shop has managed not only to retain its old regulars but also pulls in new customers by the dozen, everyday.

Whether it’s the conservative maami in her flowing nine yards in search of mango pickle, or the socialite in designer wear buying her stock of low cal juices and cereal or an eager expat searching for a can of tuna, the shop has it all!

What's more the thoughtful arrangement of products makes it easy for customers to walk in and pick out their choices without any hassles. The place allows you to buy foodstuffs without worrying about quality, you can be sure that the products displayed are well within their expiry dates.

Vegetables though on the pricier side, are fresh and washed, saving your precious supply of water. If you are looking for an exotic herb or a particular type of cheese, there are good chances that you will find it at Nilgiris Supermarket rather than elsewhere. All those fond of baking cakes and continental food will find an array of ingredients here that normally would be difficult to find elsewhere.

They offer an automated tracking and billing system, as well as adequate stocks, to speed up and add to your shopping pleasure! In spite of all the innovative efforts, old flavours rides alongside modernity creating a charm that is hard to resist, and so typical of Nilgiri’s! .
