What “fully managed” actually means
Every operating risk that sinks first-time store owners is carried by our team instead.
We judge this model on return on capital, not turnover. We share the trading stores' record in person, cost sheet open: a printed percentage cannot know your rent or your floor.
Unsold stock leaves your books
It goes back into our network and sells through another counter. A bad season is ours, not yours.
Multi-brand, not one label
Menswear to footwear on one floor, from the portfolio we already sell across the region.
A no-frills store format
Built to trade, not to impress. Capital goes into stock and the floor, not fixtures.
We run it, you own it
Hiring, targets, merchandising, marketing and CRM sit with us. The store and the asset stay yours.
Tried, tested, already trading
5 stores already trade on this model, under both ownership structures, backed by a proven return on capital and by the house that supplies the region's retailers.
How it works
Four steps from inquiry to a trading store. Franchise-owned, company-operated, done properly.
Introduce yourself
Send an inquiry with your city, the space you have or plan to lease, and your investment appetite. The right person calls you back.
Sit down with us
A face-to-face session in Guwahati, or on a call: the model, the store P&L structure, and our track record, laid out openly.
We build the store
Site assessment, fit-out, merchandising, hiring and training, all handled by the Arihant Retail team while you track the milestones.
We run it, you own it
Targets, staffing, marketing, CRM and stock rotation are managed from our end. You review performance; deadstock risk stays off your books.
The questions serious investors ask
Do I need retail experience to own an Arihant Retail store?
No. Hiring, training, target-setting, merchandising and marketing are all handled by the Arihant Retail team. You own the store; we operate it. Most partners keep their existing occupation.
What makes the model low-risk?
Three things:
- Unsold inventory never sits on your books.
- The store format is asset-light and no-frills.
- The operating playbook is already running in 5 stores.
How much do I need to invest?
It depends on the city, the property and the size of the floor. We walk through the full cost sheet and P&L structure in your proposal discussion. No figure is quoted before we have seen the specifics.
Who brings customers to the store?
We do. Arihant Retail runs calibrated influencer and social media campaigns for every store and maintains the customer CRM centrally. Footfall generation is our responsibility, not yours.
Where can a store be opened?
Anywhere in Northeast India where the catchment supports modern apparel retail. Every proposed location is assessed against real trade data before we commit.
What do I actually receive as the owner?
A fully fitted, fully staffed, fully stocked store trading under a proven model, with transparent performance reviews. Margin structure, working-capital cycle and payback expectations are laid out in writing at the proposal stage.
