Cantabil Retail, the renowned apparel brand, has ambitious plans to venture into the footwear and athleisure categories. Under the leadership of Deepak Bansal, Director of Cantabil Retail, the company aims to establish five exclusive brand outlets dedicated to these new product lines. The expansion is set to be completed by September, marking a significant milestone in the brand’s growth journey.
Additionally, the brand has strategic intentions to launch 12 Exclusive Brand Outlets (EBOS) solely focused on women’s and kids’ apparel and accessories. This fiscal year, Cantabil Retail is targeting the opening of 80 new stores, primarily in Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities. Out of these 80 stores, 12 will cater exclusively to women’s and kids’ apparel and accessories, while 5 outlets will be dedicated to the footwear and athleisure categories. Deepak Bansal, Director of Cantabil Retail, enthusiastically confirmed these expansion plans.
The capital expenditure (CAPEX) required for each Cantabil store opening amounts to approximately Rs. 45-50 lakh. Consequently, the brand has allocated a substantial investment of Rs. 25-80 crore to establish these 80 new stores successfully.
With a notable presence of 461 stores across 235 cities, Cantabil aims to expand its reach further by entering 40 new cities in the current fiscal year.
In the financial year 2022-23, the brand accomplished the opening of 69 new exclusive retail stores, strategically distributed across 14 different states, namely Assam, Bihar, Gujarat, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, Jammu and Kashmir, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Punjab, Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, West Bengal, and Nagaland.
