Opened in August 2010 by the Dainik Bhaskar Group, DB City Mall was Bhopal’s first modern mall and remains its best-known shopping destination. Spread over about 13.5 lakh sq. ft. on Hoshangabad Road in Maharana Pratap Nagar, it houses over 250 Indian and international brands, more than 35 dining outlets, a six-screen Cinepolis multiplex and the Courtyard by Marriott hotel. Anchor stores include Shoppers Stop, Westside, Reliance Trends, Tanishq and Nike, alongside Pizza Hut, KFC, Domino’s, Subway and Wow Momo. Families come for the huge food court and gaming zone, and the mall reports over 8 million visitors a year. Amenities include free Wi-Fi, lockers, wheelchair assistance, baby-care rooms and multi-level parking, so it works for a full day out in any weather.
