Society Stores

Society Stores is one of Mumbai’s oldest and most respected premium supermarket chains, established in 1947 by Shri Ratanshi Gada. Built on a deep-rooted commitment to quality and customer care, the brand grew from a small grocery store in Lower Parel to a modern FMCG and gourmet retail destination in Santacruz West in 1969. In 1997, under the leadership of Laxmichand Gada, Society Stores became a pioneer by introducing one of India’s first computerized, barcoded, air-conditioned supermarkets with chillers and freezers. In 2013, the third generation, Manan Gada, joined after completing his master’s degree in the USA, bringing global exposure and new-age thinking into the business. This led to expansion into Lokhandwala and later multiple premium locations across Mumbai. In 2017, Manan and his wife Rikta Gada launched The Home Story, a premium homeware store offering crockery, cookware, bed & bath linen, décor, and more. Today, Society Stores operates 5 supermarkets and 4 home stores, serving customers with gourmet foods, FMCG, international products, lifestyle items, and curated home solutions. With a heritage of 78 years, Society Stores continues its mission and purpose to deliver quality, trust, and modern retail excellence.
