Are local Pakistani franchises expanding internationally?
Brands like OPTP and Jalal Sons have made waves regionally. Which local franchises do you believe have the potential to go global and what’s holding them back?

Yes there are signs that local Pakistani brands are starting to expand internationally. For example, SAPPHIRE (a Pakistani fashion‑brand) has opened stores in the UK and UAE.
Yes some Pakistani franchises are expanding internationally, though it’s still relatively rare. For example, Khaadi, a Pakistani fashion brand, now operates stores not just in Pakistan but also abroad in places like the UAE and UK. Starting to grow beyond Pakistan can feel scary but also hopeful it shows that a strong local brand can resonate beyond borders when executed with care and vision.
