Centro (store)

Centro, also called Reliance Centro and formerly Central, is an Indian department store chain operated by Reliance Retail.[1] It was formerly operated by Future Lifestyle Fashion of Future Group.[2] It competes with other department store chains such as Lifestyle and Shoppers Stop.[3]

Outlets

Central opened its first store in Bangalore in 2004.[4]

In 2022, Reliance took over 34 Central stores after Future Group failed to make payments for their leases. These stores were rebranded as Centro.[5]

Centro operates over 33 outlets across 24 locations in India and plans to add more stores in the future.[6]
