The UK-based fashion retailer has opened a 12,000 sq. ft. store at Infiniti Mall, Malad, offering around 1,000 styles across women’s, men’s and kids’ wear
British fashion retailer NEXT has entered Mumbai’s retail market with its first store in the city, opening a more than 12,000 sq. ft. outlet at Infiniti Mall, Malad, on Thursday. The store offers around 1,000 styles across women’s, men’s and kids’ wear, marking the company’s latest move to expand its physical retail footprint in India after opening stores in Pune, Hyderabad and Bengaluru.
The Mumbai outlet has been launched in partnership with Myntra Jabong India or MJIPL, the B2B wholesale entity of Myntra, and its licensed franchisee partners. Under the arrangement, MJIPL holds the licensed rights to distribute NEXT’s product portfolio in India through a franchise model.
Located in one of Mumbai’s key retail destinations, the Malad store has been designed around NEXT’s global retail format, with separate category zones and a layout intended to provide customers with an integrated shopping experience.The store’s assortment includes T-shirts, shirts, dresses, shorts, trousers, denims and co-ord sets across its women’s, men’s and kids’ categories. NEXT also plans to offer select styles exclusively at the Mumbai outlet.
“Mumbai is a key fashion market, and the launch of NEXT’s first store in the city reflects the brand’s continued growth in India. As NEXT expands its presence across key metros in association with MJIPL and its licensed franchisee partners, the focus remains on bringing its globally-loved British fashion closer to customers through a distinctive and seamless shopping experience,” Venu Nair, Chief of Strategic Partnerships and Omni-channel, Myntra said.
NEXT entered India in 2023 and has since expanded its presence across major cities, with its latest Mumbai opening adding to its physical retail network. The company is also seeking to strengthen its omni-channel presence in the country through its retail and distribution partnership with MJIPL.
Founded in 1982, NEXT is a UK-based retailer of clothing, footwear and home products. The company has more than 460 stores in the UK and 265 international franchise locations, alongside an online presence across 80 countries.
