Future Group is partnering British wholesaler Booker Group to open cash and carry stores in India. The equal joint venture between Future Consumer (FCL) and UK’s largest wholesaler plans to open 60-70 stores in three years to sell merchandise to local kirana stores, hotels and catering firms. Booker India has developed one of the lowest cost distribution networks for FMCG products through its cash and carry network in India, according to a source. The joint venture is an added advantage for the signage companies whose activities revolve around in-store designs, displays and such jobs.
