AwwwStore, based in Yiwu, China, supplies Bangalore dollar store owners with high-margin, trending products at factory prices. We handle shipping, customs, and deliver directly to your store in Bengaluru — so you can stock your INR 99 store with quality goods that sell fast.
Why Bangalore is a Growing Market for Dollar Stores
Bangalore (Bengaluru) is India’s third most populous city with over 14 million residents and a booming middle class. The city’s tech-driven economy, young workforce, and high disposable income make it a hotspot for value retail. According to recent consumer reports, spending on household items, stationery, and personal care has jumped 18% year-on-year in the city.
The “₹99 store” model is exploding in neighborhoods like Koramangala, Whitefield, Indiranagar, and Electronic City. Shoppers love the thrill of fixed low prices, and store owners enjoy repeat purchases. With rising rents and competition, a well-stocked dollar store offers Bangaloreans affordable convenience — and you can capture that demand with the right supply chain.
What Products Sell Best in Bangalore
Based on our data from Bangalore clients and local trends, these five categories fly off shelves at ₹99 price points. We recommend starting with these:
Spice jars, silicone spatulas, fridge magnets, storage baskets.
₹99–₹149
Sticky notes, gel pens, notebooks, paper clips — high demand in tech hubs.

The ₹99 store model works because of high volume and razor-thin margins per unit — but with Yiwu sourcing, your margins stay healthy.
Most of our Bangalore clients order 300–500 pieces per SKU (MOQ from 300 pieces). You can mix categories in a single container. We recommend 40–50 SKUs to start — enough to fill a 300–400 sq ft store. With an average basket of 3–4 items, customers spend ₹300–₹400 per visit.
Because we ship directly from Yiwu, you skip multiple middlemen. Local wholesalers in Bangalore often add 40–60% markup — we keep your cost low so you can offer genuine ₹99 pricing.
