Booker plans Indian expansion
Cash-and-carry retailer Booker plans to open a raft of new stores in India after an initial outlet in Mumbai proved a massive success. Booker chain, which is run by former Marks & Spencer executive Charles Wilson, annnounces that a second branch will be openned in Mumbai this financial year. It will also test the opening of a franchised Booker branch in an unspecified other Indian city with a local partner. The company believes that outside Mumbai, expansion with partners could accelerate the roll-out. Arrival of more Booker stores in major cities across the country will open a new business opportunity to the in-store signage segment.
