Currently, these stores are not operational for stock and inventory reconciliation. Future Retail is in continuous discussion with Reliance Group to maintain the status quo and for safeguarding the interest of various stakeholders.

The ongoing legal feud between Amazon and Future Retail originates from Amazon’s objection to the deal between the Future Retail and the Reliance industries under which Future Retail was supposed to sell its supermarket chain Big Bazaar which is very popular across the whole nation, to Reliance.

Along with Big Bazaar, the company was supposed to sell its sister chain of retail outlets like Brand Factory, Home Town, Central, and all other Reliance Retail.
