Shopping is like an outing either with the families or friends. It’s also one of the popular habits of women. For some people, it is art such as how you approach the appropriate product you need, the skills of bargaining, and how to find a quality product that endures for a long time.
In Pakistan, shopping is at its peak on many occasions such as marriages, different ceremonies and festivals (Holy or Unholy), convocations, and celebrations. Pakistan is one of the developing nations of the world. Still, the people of Pakistan take full participation in shopping and that is the main reason for the expansion of hypermarkets, supermarts, and chain stores in Pakistan.
The investors can see that there is potential in Pakistan for their businesses in terms of huge revenue generation or the number of units sold (of their products). Another aspect that is conjoint with shopping is dining out. Usually, after shopping, people love dining out. Thus the retail stores and food businesses are ever-growing businesses here.
Mostly the authenticity of a brand you are buying in Pakistan depends on the place from where you are buying it. If you are buying a product from a genuine franchise located in a Gigantic and Lavish shopping mall, it is considered more authentic as compared to a casual or small retail shop.
