Noel Tata-led Trent is set to debut its value fashion brand Zudio in Dubai next month, marking the retailer’s first venture into the international market to tap into the substantial Indian diaspora. The inaugural Zudio store will open at Silicon Oasis Mall.
“It’s a preliminary step, and we’re starting with a single store as a pilot. Based on the response, we’ll consider expanding into additional locations,” said a senior Trent executive, who preferred to remain anonymous. Zudio stores typically range from 7,000 to 10,000 sq ft, whereas Westside stores are between 20,000 and 30,000 sq ft.
