Tirupur-based group opens T-Mart

The Tirupur-based PGC Industries opened T-Mart, an apparel and accessories store, here on Sunday.

According to Naveen Chander, Chief Operating Officer of T-Mart Textiles India (P) Limited, the company plans to open 80 points of sale by the end of March 2007.

It will have 2,010 points of sale across the country by 2010. The next store will be opened in Chennai.

Flagship stores


He said that the points of sale would include flagship stores, franchisees and shop in shops. T-Mart had men's wear, women's wear and garments for children and infants too.

It would soon have accessories also. "The core idea is to deliver world class products in a niche environment at a price that every one can afford."

The company hoped to sell three lakh to 3.5 lakh units by the end of March through the outlets. He said T-Mart "is more of solution provider rather than a retailer."

Initially, the mart would have in-house brands. This would later be expanded to other brands too, he said.

The apparel design outsourcing team of the company would decide on the products that would go into the stores.
