Trent to scale up Star Bazaar stores

Tata Group’s Trent Hypermarket plans to scale up its Star Bazaar stores to 18 by the end of FY 2011. The company will be opening 7-9 stores by the end of next fiscal and two by March-end. The investment per store would be Rs 7-crore. As of now, Trent operates seven Star Bazaar stores and the new stores will come up at Mumbai, Chennai, Bangalore and Ahmedabad. Voila! It would be a sunshine opportunity for every signage player surfacing across the in-store segment.
