History

In Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh, Trinethra brand was being used, while in Karnataka and Kerala, Fabmall brand was being used. Later, all the stores were rebranded as "More. stores.[6]

Various news reports, later confirmed by an order from Competition Commission of India, indicated the More was sold by Aditya Birla Group to investors led by private equity fund Samara Capital. Consequently, More is not part of Aditya Birla Group anymore.
