ISLAMABAD, ATTOCK, JUN 1 /DNA/ – President of Attock Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Shahid Zaman has stated that the arrival of a renowned brand like Pharmacy & Superstore in Attock will promote business and create employment opportunities. The business community of Attock warmly welcomes this venture and assures full cooperation.
He expressed these views while addressing a prestigious ceremony held for the inauguration of a new branch of the Pharmacy & Superstore chain in Attock.
Shahid Zaman said that he firmly believes such institutions not only ensure the availability of quality products but also introduce innovation, transparency, and healthy competition into the local business environment. This is a positive step that will not only provide world-class services at people’s doorsteps but also offer job opportunities to the local youth.
He highlighted that the greatest strength of Pharmacy & Superstore is its consistent focus on customer trust. This is the very element that leads any business to success. He paid tribute to the management for turning their vision into reality and choosing a historic city like Attock for their expansion.
He added that this is not just a successful business model, but a beacon of guidance for the next generation — showcasing how principles, quality, and customer care can turn a business into a mission for serving the nation.
On behalf of the Attock Chamber of Commerce, he assured the brand of the business community’s full support. He expressed hope that this branch would not only achieve new milestones of success but also play a pivotal role in strengthening the local economy, generating employment, and improving the commercial environment.
He further hoped that the people of Attock would now have access to high-quality health-related products, medicines, cosmetics, and other daily essentials under one roof at reasonable prices.
Concluding his remarks, he congratulated the management from the bottom of his heart and prayed that Allah blesses this business venture with exponential growth.
Speaking at the ceremony, UBG Secretary General Zafar Bakhtawari said that healthy competition is essential for progress in life. Pharmacy & Superstore is a successful business model and a source of inspiration for the business community. Wherever such brands go, they elevate the standard of business, attract other brands, and even increase real estate value. These are not just businesses — they become part of a city’s identity.
Ahsan Zafar Bakhtawari, Member of the UBG Central Core Committee, stated that although they could expand quickly by opening more branches, they have never compromised on quality. Through this branch alone, 100 families in Attock have gained employment. He emphasized their belief that as the organization grows, so should its workers. Opening 11 branches during the past three economically challenging years proves that they are deeply connected to Pakistan and see their future here.
He encouraged the youth to pursue entrepreneurship instead of jobs, so they can thrive and provide employment to others. Praising Haris Bakhtawari and Salman Bakhtawari, he stated that they truly care for their workers.
