About Avenue Supermarts Limited (DMart)

Founded in 2002 with its first store in Powai, Mumbai, Avenue Supermarts has grown into a multi-state retail giant. The company is famous for its customer-centric approach, focusing on providing essential goods at the most competitive prices. Unlike many of its competitors, DMart follows a strategy of owning the real estate for its stores or entering into very long-term leases, which significantly reduces its operational costs.

Headquartered in Mumbai, the company operates hundreds of stores across states, including Maharashtra, Gujarat, Andhra Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Karnataka, Telangana, Chhattisgarh, NCR, Tamil Nadu, Punjab, and Rajasthan.

Avenue Supermarts Business Model

The success of DMart lies in its unique "Everyday Low Cost - Everyday Low Price" (EDLC-EDLP) business model. The core pillars of this model include:

• Cost Leadership: By maintaining low operational costs and high efficiency in the supply chain, the company passes on savings to customers.

• Ownership Model: Owning most of its store premises helps the company avoid the burden of rising rental costs, which is a major expense for other retailers.

• Product Mix: DMart focuses primarily on three categories: Foods, Non-Foods (FMCG), and General Merchandise & Apparel. Foods contribute the largest portion of its revenue.

• Cluster-Based Expansion: The company follows a disciplined expansion strategy, strengthening its presence in existing regions before moving into new geographies to ensure better supply chain control.

• Direct Procurement: Buying in bulk directly from manufacturers allows the company to secure better margins and offer higher discounts to shoppers.
