Fountainhead Bookstore, Chennai

An offshoot of India Book Distributors, one of the largest book distributors in the country, Fountainhead stocks over 40,000 titles at the spacious 7,000 sq. ft store at 27, Laxmi Towers, Radhakrishnan Road, Mylapore.

Though its focus is on books, it also sports small sections for children’s toys and cards, cassettes and CDs. The store also offers personalized greeting cards for as little as Rs.30-60, though in a limited variety. Despite the penetration of cable television, and now Internet, into Indian homes,

Set up in 1993, FountainHead, Chennai, today has a terrific base of loyal clientele, who use the FountainHead gold card which offers discounts and redemption of points accrued. While books on computers, management, health and children’s titles show good sales, a significant percentage of revenues comes from non-book items - gifts, toys, cards, CDs, multimedia etc.

FountainHead’s Book Passage, a monthly newsletter, offers news, reviews and details new schemes for customers.

Open 6 days a week from 10 am - 8.30 pm. Mondays holidays. All cards accepted.
