KARACHI: Baskin-Robbins, the world’s largest chain of ice-cream specialty shops, has opened its first outlet in Karachi at 3Com Tower, opposite Bilawal Chowrangi.

The soft opening, which was held on Tuesday, was attended by former senator Javed Jabbar.

Speaking on the occasion, he said that it was a good sign that entrepreneurship in Pakistan is developing with vibrancy. He termed this as a good omen for the future viability of Pakistan’s economy since so many international brands were investing in the market and Baskin-Robbins was one of them.

Dunkin’ Brands International Vice President John Varughese said, “We are pleased to collaborate with Irfan, Harris and their team in developing the Baskin-Robbins brand in Pakistan by bringing our wide range of delicious ice-cream flavours, cakes and other treats to Pakistani customers.”

First Baskin-Robbins store opens in Lahore

Baskin-Robbins has earlier opened four outlets in Lahore and the outlet at 3Com Tower in Karachi is its fifth in Pakistan. The first 31 customers coming to the outlet will win free ice cream for a year and the next 100 customers will get free ice cream for 31 days.

Under an agreement with AHG Flavours (PVT) Limited, the Baskin-Robbins brand will be further developed in Pakistan and it has planned to open more shops across the country.

The official grand opening of the Baskin-Robbins Karachi outlet will take place on Thursday, June 7 at 7:00 pm (post-Iftar).

Baskin-Robbins restaurants in Pakistan feature the brand’s extensive selection of classic ice cream flavours, including Pralines ‘n Cream, Jamoca® Almond Fudge, Mint Chocolate Chip and Very Berry Strawberry, alongside regional favourites such as Mango Tango and Tiramisu.

Baskin-Robbins currently has 7,800 restaurants in more than 50 countries around the world.
