2008-03-31 Mall mania grips city-Patna-Cities-The Times of India

The reason for the spiralling interest of mega-brands like Reliance, Airtel, Piramals, Tatas and ITC, fast-food chains like McDonalds, Moti Mahal, Kapils Eleven, Smoking Jones, Pizza Hut, bigwigs in the apparel industry like Pantaloons, Blackberry, Lee, Provogue, Peter England and Woodland is obvious. It is fuelled by rising middle-class earnings, success of early retail format developments in the past three-four years and availability of reasonably priced real estate options.

Footwear and apparel have witnessed the highest organised retail penetration in the city with a share of 22 pct. and 12 pct. respectively. Even though food and grocery segment contributes about 38 pct. of private consumption expenditure and about 77 pct. of total retail sales, it is mainly controlled by the unorganized sector the nukkad stores.

2008-03-29 Atlanta: A city that was fit for a king-Americas, Travel-The Independent

I head out for breakfast at the Sweet Auburn Bread Company. Martin Luther King Jr was born and raised in the Sweet Auburn district, a walkable neighbourhood of wooden houses that still centres on the Ebenezer Baptist Church, where both King and his father preached. The Sweet Auburn Bread Company is a tiny bakery-cum-coffee shop that serves traditional Southern food. Its chef and owner, Sonya Jones, urges me to try the homemade Georgian peach preserves on my smoked-sausage sandwich. Theres also bacon, and buttermilk biscuits. The breads are warm and soft, and baked the way that Southerners like them: a little snap of crispness from the crust and then a warm and pillowy inside.

Belgian food safety chiefs are stepping up checks on buffalo-milk mozzarella cheese imports from Italy in the wake of raised dioxin levels, a spokeswoman said Thursday.
