The format

One shop for everything a home, a student and a gift-giver needs

Urbanox is a curated lifestyle retail format: home & kitchen, gifting, stationery, bags, drinkware, toys and games, decor and imported novelty — around 1,400 live SKUs at sharp, fixed prices, refreshed continuously from our own warehouse.

The proposition is in the name. Product that looks and feels premium, at prices that make people buy three things instead of one — a high-footfall, high-frequency format built on small baskets and repeat visits, not a slow-moving one.

📦

The assortment is the moat

You buy nothing on your own judgement. Every SKU is bought, tested and priced centrally, then shipped to you. Fast movers get replenished; dead stock gets pulled.

📱

The technology is included

Our own ERP runs your billing, stock, purchase, staff attendance and daily stock check — on Android and web. Plus a customer app, a storefront and WhatsApp bill delivery.

📐

The store design is ours

Layout, furniture drawings, racking, lighting, signage and planogram are designed by us and executed to the same standard as Jorhat. You do not hire a designer.

Already trading

You are not the pilot

Urbanox Jorhat opened to the public on 19 August 2026. The assortment, the pricing, the store design, the billing system and the launch playbook were all built and tested there before this franchise was offered to anyone.

A proven format

Roughly 1,400 live SKUs across eight categories, a fixed-price architecture, a planogram and a kids’ play area — all settled in a real shop, not on paper.

A working supply chain

Our own warehouse buys, prices and ships the entire assortment, and replenishes against live sales data from your billing system.

A launch engine

The Jorhat opening campaign reached over two lakh people across Instagram, Facebook, Google and WhatsApp. The same team runs your opening.

Come and see it. The store trades seven days a week in Tarajan, Jorhat. We would rather you visited, walked the aisles and talked to the staff than took anything on this page on trust.
The investment

Turnkey, from ₹30 lakh

The shop fully built, fully stocked and trading — furniture, lighting, air-conditioning, power backup, branding, technology, the play area and the opening stock, all included.

The rate is not flat per square foot. Signage, billing systems, the inverter, the play area and the launch campaign cost the same whether your shop is 1,000 or 1,500 sq ft, so the bigger store pays a lower rate per square foot. That saving is yours, not ours.

Nearly half of it is stock — ₹18 lakh on a 1,500 sq ft shop — a saleable asset sitting on your shelves, not a sunk cost. Unsold slow movers are exchanged against fresh stock under our replenishment policy.
The ₹1,50,000 above is the equipment — the billing machine, barcode scanner, thermal printer and their installation, which are yours. The ₹2,00,000 franchise fee is the licence to run our ERP and customer app on that equipment, with hosting, support and brand marketing, for the whole five years. The two do not overlap, and there is no monthly fee while you are trading with us.
Amounts are exclusive of GST. A store between these sizes is quoted on the same basis, pro rata.

What you arrange separately

  • Shop rent and security deposit — negotiated by you with your landlord.
  • Civil and electrical work at the site — flooring, plumbing, wiring, false ceiling, washroom and the sanctioned power connection.
  • Staff salaries — we train them, you employ them.
  • Working capital — keep about ₹3,00,000 aside for the first three months of running costs.
  • Statutory registrations — GST, trade licence, shop & establishment, in your own firm’s name.
Everything else — every fixture, every light, the air-conditioning, the inverter, every SKU on the opening shelf and every screen and printer — is inside the figures above.
The economics

What a 1,500 sq ft store can earn

Two illustrative scenarios at conservative daily sales. They are worked examples of how the format behaves at a given level of trade — not a forecast of your store, and not drawn from the results of any particular shop.

Per monthConservativeBase case
Sales per day₹30,000₹45,000
Monthly sales₹9,00,000₹13,50,000
Gross profit at about 27%₹2,43,000₹3,64,500
Rent, staff, power and running costs−₹1,41,000−₹1,41,000
Net profit per month₹1,02,000₹2,23,500
Net profit per year₹12,24,000₹26,82,000
Payback on ₹40 lakh~39 months~18 months

The monthly running costs, itemised

  • Rent at ₹40 per sq ft — ₹60,000
  • Four staff — ₹48,000
  • Electricity, air-conditioning — ₹18,000
  • Packing, consumables, local marketing — ₹15,000

How these figures were built

Gross margin is taken at about 27% of retail, which is the margin structure the franchise rate card is built on. Rent varies most by town — at ₹25 per sq ft the net improves by ₹22,500 a month; at ₹60 it worsens by ₹30,000. Figures are before income tax, depreciation and any loan interest.

No royalty, and no monthly fee while you trade. We earn our margin when we supply you stock. What you sell it for and what you make on it is yours.
The site

What we look for before we say yes

We approve the location before anything is signed. A wrong site cannot be fixed later by better product or harder work — so we are strict here, in your interest as much as ours.

The shop

  • 1,000–1,500 sq ft carpet area, preferably on one floor
  • Minimum 12 ft of frontage with clear visibility from the road
  • Ground floor preferred; first floor acceptable with strong street signage
  • Minimum 9 ft ceiling, 5 kW power, washroom, and a back-room of about 10% of the area
  • A registered lease of at least five years

The town and the person

  • Main market, high street, or close to schools, colleges or a hospital
  • Town population of 50,000 and above
  • The franchisee is present in the store daily — this single factor predicts success more than any other
  • Local to the town, with no competing retail interest
  • Investment capacity as above, plus rent deposit and working capital
