AlBaik Launch in Pakistan – What to Expect
AlBaik launch in Pakistan is finally happening. The famous Saudi fast-food chain is preparing to open branches in major cities. Commerce Minister Jam Kamal Khan confirmed this during his visit to Jeddah. He met with AlBaik’s owner, Rami Abu Ghazala, and finalized the agreement. The launch is expected soon, and food lovers are excited to try AlBaik’s signature fried chicken and seafood.
New Locations and Job Opportunities
AlBaik plans to open outlets in key Pakistani cities. The exact locations are not announced yet, but Karachi, Lahore, and Islamabad are likely choices. The expansion will create thousands of jobs in the restaurant industry. Many Pakistanis have worked at AlBaik in Saudi Arabia. Now, they will have a chance to bring their experience home and contribute to the brand’s success in Pakistan.
The fast-food industry in Pakistan is growing rapidly. With AlBaik’s arrival, competition among local and international brands will increase. This could lead to better food quality and service for customers.
AlBaik’s Launch Strengthens Saudi-Pakistan Trade
The announcement was made at the Made in Pakistan exhibition in Jeddah. The event focused on Saudi investments and trade deals. Business leaders from both countries discussed opportunities in food, energy, IT, and construction.
Pakistan’s exports to Saudi Arabia have increased by 22%, reaching $700 million. The government is offering tax benefits and legal protections to attract more investment. Saudi investors are also interested in Pakistan’s textile and real estate sectors.
More Saudi Investment in Pakistan
AlBaik’s entry into Pakistan is part of a larger investment wave. Saudi businesses are exploring more opportunities in the country. Pakistan received $7.4 billion in remittances from workers in Saudi Arabia last year, strengthening economic ties.
Saudi Arabia has also introduced a new visa policy. GCC citizens can now visit Pakistan visa-free for up to 90 days. This will make business collaborations easier. With growing Saudi investments, Pakistan is becoming an attractive market for international brands.
