Mochi has expanded its retail presence in Karnataka with the opening of a new store on Savalanga Road in Shivamogga. The development was announced through the company’s official LinkedIn communication, marking another addition to the brand’s growing retail network across India.

The new store brings Mochi’s range of footwear and accessories to consumers in Shivamogga, strengthening the brand’s physical retail presence in Karnataka and giving customers access to its offerings across multiple occasions and lifestyle needs.

Mochi is a footwear and accessories brand operated by Metro Brands Limited. According to Metro Brands, products under the Mochi brand have been sold since 1977, while the first Mochi-branded multi-brand outlet was opened in 2000. The brand is positioned towards younger consumers while also catering to families, with its product offering covering day-to-day, work, evening and party requirements as well as special occasions such as weddings.

The brand’s portfolio extends beyond footwear to accessories and related categories. Metro Brands’ annual report identifies products across men’s, women’s and kids’ footwear, along with bags, clutches, wallets, belts, foot-care and shoe-care products across its relevant brands, including Mochi.

The Shivamogga opening comes as Metro Brands continues to expand its retail network across India. As of December 31, 2025, Mochi had 279 branded multi-brand outlet stores, according to Metro Brands. The company’s broader network had more than 1,000 stores across its portfolio, spanning multiple footwear and lifestyle brands.

Mochi’s expansion forms part of Metro Brands’ wider strategy of building a nationwide footwear and accessories retail presence through a combination of physical stores and digital channels. The company has stated that its portfolio is designed to address different consumer segments, occasions and price points, while its retail expansion continues into newer geographies.

With the latest opening on Savalanga Road, Mochi adds another retail touchpoint in Karnataka and continues its efforts to bring its footwear and accessories portfolio closer to consumers in emerging and established markets across the country.
