What to watch

  • Quarterly net store additions versus the nearly 80-store FY27 target.
  • Same-store sales growth and revenue per store as the base expands from 165 locations.
  • Gross margin and EBITDA trend, especially rent, employee and pre-opening cost intensity.
  • Furniture and accessories share of sales, indicating successful in-store cross-sell.
  • Growth in tier-2 and tier-3 city contribution versus metro-store performance.
  • Evidence of online-to-offline and offline-to-online customer conversion.
  • Competitive store expansion or discounting by organised mattress and home-living rivals.
  • Prioritise clusters in cities where online demand and delivery volumes already justify store economics.
  • Use new stores to expand higher-ticket furniture, sleep accessories and furnishing bundles rather than relying only on mattress sales.
  • Strengthen store-level inventory planning and local fulfilment to prevent working-capital pressure during rollout.
  • Increase local-language and housing-society-led marketing in tier-2 and tier-3 markets.
  • Track COCO store payback tightly before accelerating beyond the FY27 plan.
