According to media reports, Tablez, the retail arm of LuLu Group, will open 25 Go Sport stores in India in the next 5 years with the 2nd store coming up in Bangalore.
The Go Sport stores in India will be based on the franchise model in India and each of these 10,000-14,000 sq ft stores will reportedly have dedicated zones for various outdoor, adventure, indoor and serious stores.
“As per our initial research, we found that there is huge scope in the Indian sports retailing market and it is close to $ 3.3 billion worth. We expect this to grow at 9-10 per cent year-on-year to reach around $5 billion in the next few years,” Adeeb Ahamed, Managing Director, Tablez, has been quoted as saying in a report.
According to reports, Tablez will first aim at garnering the metro markets and later expand to tier two and tier three cities in the country.
