Speaking at a press conference in Kolkata, Simon Brown, international head of Woolworth's Plc, UK, "This 1600 sq ft store inside Spencer's in Kolkata is our first branded outlet in Asia. We recognized the growing potential for toys in India and decided to sign on Spencer's for an exclusive retail partnership. We will sell 500 toys in this store. One reason why Chad Valley toys will sell in India is because they are very economically priced and perfect for the price-sensitive Indians."

Chad Valley toys are priced between $4 and $50.
