Businesses open with coronavirus safety precautions enforced

New rules, no problem. At least, that’s the case for a Henderson cafe preparing to host customers for the first time in nearly two months.

Reason: inability to find a place on the right location at reasonable rates. “Rentals in India are as high as international markets, but the demand is not as much,” said Pratik Dalmia, founder of Mumbai-based Regalia Luxury, which has the rights to market and sell Kiton and John Lobb brands in India. Steep rentals and lack of quality retail real estate at strategic locations near high-income neighbourhoods are making it hard for luxury brands to expand […]
