Watch and jewellery maker Titan Industries plans to open 250 stores across India in 2011-12, compared with 150 stores last financial year. Titan Industries had 646 stores under operation across India as of February-end. Less than 15 percent of the stores are company owned, while the rest are franchisees. The company will continue to open 30-40 stores of Titan in 2011-12, but the aim is now to scale up expansion of our other newer formats like Helios, Eyeplus and Fastrack. These new Titan stores would be new dens for the signage companies whose jobs revolve around the retail sector for in-shop displays.
