Zudio crosses 1,000 stores across 300 cities
Trent’s value chain hits the milestone a decade after launch, putting pressure on every mid-market apparel till in smaller towns.

Zudio crossed the 1,000-store mark, now present in more than 300 cities after rapid openings that included heavy Tier-II and III focus. Trent’s filing noted the brand has served over 100 million customers in ten years while Westside held 301 stores at end-June.
Shop-floor managers in smaller cities now face denser competition on the ₹499-999 rack. A typical Zudio outlet of 7,000-10,000 sq ft refreshes weekly and keeps private-label mix high, forcing local multi-brand stores to match price points or lose footfall at the entrance till.
Zudio now spans over 300 cities after crossing 1,000 stores.
The pace squeezes pure-play value peers such as V-Mart and Reliance’s Yousta while helping mall landlords fill larger formats. It also lifts Trent’s overall revenue run-rate, which hit ₹19,701 crore in FY26.
Watch the next round of store openings through the festive window and any Q2 filing update on same-store sales density as the network matures beyond the 1,000 mark.
