Indian children’s goods chain Toonz Retail plans a rapid domestic roll-out.

The company plans to open 200 new stores over the next five years, with a major focus on southern India.

“While we are expanding our reach to other parts of the country we continue to focus on south India and I am of the view that more than 50 per cent business and expansion will be driven by south India,” said MD and CEO Sharad Venkta.

Toonz caters to all the needs of a child from clothes to crayons, prams to puzzles, walkers to rockers, blocks to board games, rattles to remotes cars and diapers to dolls.

While it is not ruling out to overseas expansion, Toonz says it will concentrate first on strengthening its domestic footprint.
