Some of the key features of the store are:

Digital Store for Internet First GenZ
As GenZ today dominates consumer trends and spending habits, the Foxy store is designed to match GenZ’s shopping habits and brings focus to the Internet brands for this Internet-savvy segment.
Nikhil Gilani, Co-founder & CBO of Foxy said, “GenZ, as digital-first shoppers, prefers an extensive buying experience i.e. online window shopping, the discovery of new trends, checking prices and reviews online. At the store, the Foxy app enables them to do all of the above while the store allows you to touch-and0-feel the products and talk to an expert.”
GenZ is used to browsing at its own pace and dislikes the sales pressure in most beauty stores. Here, the store is also browsing-friendly. For instance, one can find 2 colored baskets – Red and Green, where Green indicates the requirement of an expert’s help, and Red implies you want to shop on your own. At Foxy stores, one can touch and feel the best of online brands at ease, without any pressure to buy.
The Foxy store enables a hassle-free shopping experience and one can also make contactless payments via the app do a self-checkout. In addition, they can have the products delivered home. Or they can buy online and pick up in store.
Foxy store is the first of its kind beauty store, where products are displayed by categories and ingredients. This is in line with GenZ’s online shopping patterns, where they search for the latest products in the category of their interest. This enables quick comparisons by price, ingredients, and usage for an informed choice. This also allows for a high density of products similar to the online offering.
