Tata Group-owned Infiniti Retail which runs the electronics store Croma will reportedly be opening 100 small exclusive Apple stores across the country.
According to the Economic Times, Tata subsidiary Infiniti Retail will become an Apple franchisee, opening 500 sq ft – 600 sq ft stores in malls, high-end streets, and posh neighbourhoods. These stores, unlike the premium Apple stores, will be smaller in size and will primarily sell iPhones, iPads, and watches. Newer Apple stores will be unable to open in areas where Tata has established Apple outlets.
