Comfort-driven footwear brand Crocs has crossed the 200 store mark in India as its India retail partner Metro Brands Limited inaugurated a new brick-and-mortar store in Chennai, located in the city’s bustling  Pondy Bazaar.

“The launch of our 200th Crocs store in India is a testament to the dedication of our team and our enduring partnership with Crocs,” said Metro Brands Limited’s business head for Crocs Maulik Desai in a statement, India Retailing reported. “We are committed to offering a global retail experience that appeals to youth and customers seeking comfort.”
