The Akshay Sky Mall is strategically situated on Gokul Main Road, making it easily accessible within the city. Hubli, being the second-largest city in Karnataka with a population of about one-and-a-half million, offers a promising catchment area for the mall. Additionally, the tertiary catchment extends to include Dharwad city.
