According to two sources, Marks & Spencer (M&S) is planning to take its home offerings to a total of 15 new outlets by the end of the year.
The move comes just five months after introducing its home products including bed linens, cushions and dinnerware in the country. Marks & Spencer Reliance India Pvt Ltd., which is a 51-49 per cent joint venture between the UK department store operator and Reliance Retail, launched its home and décor offerings in India in three of its store in New Delhi, Bangalore and Mumbai.
Currently, home products are available to customers in the country at five M&S outlets and online through the company’s website and on Myntra.com. The expansion will see the home products available at a total of 15 locations in the coming months.
An area of the Marks & Spencer outlet in Mall of India in Noida is being carved out for the home products and this currently remains under fit-out. Similarly, several other stores in various cities are in various stages of fit-out. Marks & Spencer home items are priced in the range of Rs 199 for coffee mugs to Rs 1,499 for bed linen and cushions.
