Swiss Military to open 130 EBOs in FY26

Global accessories, luggage, and lifestyle brand Swiss Military plans to open 130 exclusive brand outlets in the 2026 financial year. Beginning with 10 new stores in Gujarat, the business also aims to bolster its retail presence in South India. 

“With rising disposable incomes and growing demand for travel, we’ve seen exponential growth in the travel and leisure space,” Swiss Military’s managing director Anuj Sawhney told ET Retail in an interview. “Our focus on innovation, quality, and customer centricity positions us well to ride this wave.”

Swiss Military aims to expand its presence to over 1,000 multi-brand outlets in the southern states of Karnataka, Kerala, Tamil Nadu, and Telangana. The business has reported an annual growth rate of around 22% over the past few consecutive years and is eyeing a listing on the National Stock Exchange. 

“Our omni-channel network, supported by smart inventory systems and just in time delivery, gives us the edge in balancing speed and profitability,” said Sawhney. The business also plans to launch its products in Central Police Canteen and Canteen Stores Department formats to reach more customers.
