Ashapura Intimates Fashion plans to open 200 Valentine loungewear retail showrooms across the country in three years on a franchise basis. The company has set the plan to open 26 Valentine showrooms in Mumbai this year, most of which will be company-owned. The first Valentine showroom of 1,550 sq ft was opened at Bandra in December 2014, following the state’s largest loungewear showroom spread over two floors in Mulund. The third store was opened at Ghatkopar this month and another two stores are expected to come up at Borivali and Thane by April. Rapid expansion plan of the company will boost business opportunity for the signage companies dealing in in-shop displays, branding, designs and related activities.
