The Empress Mall is the only 9 lakh square feet mall in Nagpur and the biggest shopping mall in Eastern Maharashtra. This Mall is inarguably the first of its kind in Nagpur, not only because it is gigantic, but because of the fact that it offers a number of popular brands at one place.

Even though the mall has stores of international and reputed brands and is popular with the higher middle and affluent class of the city, it still shows traces of unhygienic conditions on the basement floor and some staircases, and many of the stores are still unoccupied indicating over sized construction. PVR Cinemas multiplex is the most frequently visited attraction in the mall.

We leave the worst for the last…. The roads outside the malls gets filled on a Saturday because of the Chor bazaar which totally blocks the traffic and creates a jam which is unavoidable and one may get stuck in that for about an hour.
