History
editImtiaz Super Market was founded in 1955 by Imtiaz Abbasi as a small superstore in Bahadurabad, Karachi. It has grown to become a leading supermarket chain in Pakistan.[6] The retailer expanded within Karachi from 2003, 2010, 2013, 2016, and 2018, branching out to various localities, including Awami Markaz, Nazimabad, Defence, Gulshan-e-Iqbal, Sharafabad, and Malir.[6]
By 2016, it had also opened a hypermarket in Gulshan-e-Iqbal and ventured into Punjab with a supermarket in Gujranwala.[7] This expansion continued with new branches in Faisalabad (2017), Clifton (2019), and further outlets in Lahore (2020), Sialkot, Bahawalpur (2021), Sargodha, Vehari, Peshawar (2022)[6] and Quetta (2023).
