Leading global retailer Marks & Spencer (M&S) intends to nearly double the number of retail stores in India from 42 to 80 within two years. The company has just opened its flagship store close to the IT hub of Hyderabad. The company has had a fantastic journey in the last six years offering stylish clothing of exceptional quality. The new store in Hyderabad is the 10th store in South India and the company is planning to add two more in Hyderabad within two months. They are expected to come up in GVK One and Prestige malls. The company opened its first store in India in 2001 and in April 2008, entered into a joint venture with Reliance Retail. Signage majors whose activities involved in in-shop displays, branding, etc must celebrate with such rapid emergence of high-end M&S stores in major cities.
