Swiss Military to open 150 franchise outlets pan India

Swiss Military, a premium lifestyle accessories brand, is planning  to open 150 franchise outlets pan-India by this financial year end.

Speaking about the same, Anuj Sawhney, Managing Director, Swiss Military Worldwide, confirmed: “The retail launch plan will follow the global company mandate of first entering the test phase into a new format before taking the plunge with the franchise model route due later this year. It is for this reason that the retail launch has been broken down phase-wise. In the phase one, we would be launching Multi-Brand Outlets (MBOs) in North India alone. On successful implementation, we would expand the MBO presence on a pan-India basis. Once the MBO’s are firmly planted pan-India in key retail outlets including mass retail and large format stores, we would be entering the franchise model for the brand.” He also added: “We would ideally be looking at around 150 franchise outlets in strategic cities pan-India by this year -end itself. Plans are being drawn to have an 80:20 ratio for franchise-owned and company-owned stores in the market.”
