We actually have customers in Karachi that have their friends or relatives send them Pepe’s by air all the way from Lahore and Islamabad! So, it was only a matter of time before we expanded into Karachi. We have other locations in the pipeline as well, with the next outlet opening very soon in ‘Sindhi Muslim Housing Cooperative Society’ area, followed by many more soon.”
