ITC to expand its retail footprint

ITC`s lifestyle retailing business division is planning to expand its retail footprint further by setting up more Wills Lifestyle, John Players and Miss Players stores across the country, reports Economic Times.

The company has also embarked on an active exercise to create a stronger brand and retail identity for Wills Lifestyle, which it wants to position as a more international and aspirational brand.

ITC has piloted a new store concept with FRCH Design of the US, a specialist in store and mall design. Three concept stores have already been launched, two in Mumbai and one in Delhi. It is also working with the UK`s Elemental Design and The Friedman Group from the US in areas like product presentation, visual merchandising and retail training.

The company intends to increase the number of Wills Lifestyle stores from 250 to 400 by the end of 2008-09.
