Quick commerce player Blinkit is looking to expand its micro-fulfilment centres or dark stores, targeting up to 40 per cent increase in store count in the next 12 months, according to company CEO Albinder Dhindsa.
The company, which was acquired by online food delivery firm Zomato last year, currently has over 400 dark stores that act as warehouses.
“We have identified several new high potential neighbourhoods in existing as well as new cities. We should start seeing the net dark store number increase going forward,” Dhindsa said in an earnings statement.
