Our Estimates
FranchiseChuno estimateLouis Philippe doesn't publish these, so here is our best read of the market and how we got there. They are our estimates, not the brand's figures — use them to plan, then confirm the real numbers in writing.
Exclusive Louis Philippe store, 1,000–2,000 sq ft
₹50 L–₹1.2 Cr*
ABLBL publishes about ₹50 L as the starting investment for a 1,000 sq ft store — one figure for all its brands, contents not stated. Louis Philippe's 246 company-run stores average about 2,200 sq ft (5,40,451 sq ft, Mar 2026); franchise stores in smaller towns are likely 1,000–2,000 sq ft, so we scale ABLBL's figure to ₹50 L–₹1 Cr and allow up to ₹20 L more for a rent deposit and opening stock if they are not in ABLBL's figure. Lower if stock is supplied on credit or sale-or-return (not confirmed). Excludes property purchase; GST treatment not stated.
