Trent Zudio crosses 1,000 stores as Q2 revenue jumps 23%

Trent’s value chain hit the four-figure mark during Q2 FY27 while merchandise sales also grew 23%. The company added 36 Zudio stores in the first half and kept Westside expansion steady at 11 net new doors.

Shop-floor managers in smaller cities now stock faster-turn private labels to defend ticket sizes against local discounters. A single Zudio till in a tier-2 mall can clear 200 units on a weekend if the refresh lands before the festive rush.

Zudio crossed 1,000 stores with 17 net additions in the quarter alone.

The pace squeezes pure-play value rivals and forces DMart and Reliance Fashion to match price points on basics. It helps landlords filling vacant mid-size boxes outside metros.

Watch the December festive window and the full Q2 filing for like-for-like trends and any margin comment on the 1,000-store base.
