LifeStyle plans Rs 140-cr expansion

 

Bangalore , Oct. 1

 

AS the country is on the threshold of a retail revolution with about 200 shopping malls expected to come up in the next five years, LifeStyle International (Private) Limited is bracing up itself to latch on to the opportunity with a plan to scale up its outlets to 21 in three years.

 

Riding on the encouraging response to its concept of trendy multi-brand stores, the company would be investing Rs 1400 millions during the period to increase its floor space from the current 27,000 sq. ft. to more than one million sq. ft, spread across the country.

Bangalore would see two more stores coming up in the next two years. Though the business potential was good, infrastructure facility was a matter of concern, said Mr Sitaraman, adding that the company was scouting for suitable location for new outlets.

 

He said, in Chennai, where the Dubai-based parent, launched its Indian foray, LifeStyle would be expanding its facility to 75,000 sq. ft shop in Chennai City Centre shopping mall.

It expects a 34 per cent jump in its turnover during 2004-05 with the figure touching Rs 3100 millions from last year's Rs 2300 millions, Mr Sitaraman said.
