Bata India goes for large format stores only

Leading footwear retailer and manufacturer, Bata India will have only standardised large-format stores in its network, within the next 4-5 years. Over the last few years, Bata India has repositioned its stores by opening large-format stores, renovating its stores and closing down small ones. Very recently, Bata India announced that it would be opening 70 large-format flagship stores this year, as per their global format. Bata’s new avatar in the retail world of the country will boost the existing business opportunity of the signage companies engaging in in-shop signs and displays.
