‘’Overall gross margins are lower compared to same period in the previous year, primarily due to lower sales contribution of apparel and general merchandise. However, general merchandise contribution is recovering and trending towards prepandemic levels. We opened three new stores during the quarter. Our total stores now stand at 327,” said Neville Noronha, CEO & Managing Director, Avenue Supermarts.
