Books retailer Crossword has opened a new store, the largest in the country, in Pune.

Spread across three floors, the 20,000 sq ft flagship outlet at Aundh, Pune, is designed as a new-age bookstore that focuses on being a community centre for society. It has a complete floor dedicated for children with a Hogwarts train, a Lego store, a play area and a reading tree, under which children can read.

In addition, there is space to hold book launches and author reading sessions, and a two-level Café Moshes – Mumbai’s iconic café.

In a statement, CEO Kinjal Shah said, “It is a new step for Crossword and a proud moment to open such a lavish and unique store. We hope we can open more such stores in the future.”

Crossword Bookstores Ltd is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Shopper's Stop Ltd.
