Apple, a big brand iPhone maker, plans to set up flagship Apple Store in India in the formats of the famous ones on Fifth Avenue in New York, a string of smaller outlets. Leading real estate brokerage companies are already scouting for 15,000-20,000 sq ft on high streets and in malls. The flagship store will have the same design and architectural grandeur for which Apple is famous and even holds several patents. The decisive move of Apple to open its flagship stores in the country will be an added business opportunity for the signage companies dealing in in-shop designs, displays, branding and related activities.
