Investment Opportunity
Pharmacies in Pakistan are doing extremely well, however there is no professional retailer. I am a world-class retailer with experience in the US.
Want to open a store in Islamabad/Pindi, followed by stores in the major cities of Pakistan. There is no national pharmacy chain in the country. Retailing is a professional field consisting of buying, merchandising, store operations, marketing, inventory management, warehousing and distribution.
Fortunately there is NO one in Pakistan who can be called or is a RETAILER. I have 40 years of experience in the USA, Europe and Asia starting from a Trainee to the top corporate positions in Multi- Billion Dollar companies. Have been a World Bank Consultant to the largest retailer in Pakistan (non-pharmacy). The concept we shall follow is very similar to the Walgreens stores in the USA.
Will offer 33% equity in the first store and will offer first right in the subsequent stores depending on further investments required for the expansion.
Competitive Advantage
• Professional retail management not available at any other retailer in Pakistan
• Larger assortment and selection of merchandise
• Extremely successful concept
• World class customer service
Rationale for the deal
• Positive and increasing returns annually
• Potential for expansion
• National chain and brand recognition.
Use of financing
Leasing real estate, fixturing and equipment. Set up and inventory and marketing.
