There-imagined Texvalley will house a hypermarket, a 5-screen multiplex, a 500-seater food court, 100+ ‘outlet’ vanilla shops, and 5 fine dine options, and a family entertainment center. The formats of these facilities would be completely new to the region and are designed keeping today’s youth in mind.
