Since the introduction of our retail brand in the Bangladeshi market in 1991, Pride Limited has strived to build upon it’s commitment of delighting Bangladeshi consumers with the best quality textile products, at the most affordable prices, and manufactured in our own facilities with highest quality assurance and compliance. Thus, by 2018 the Pride Limited network has expanded to around a 100 stores and has been established as a pioneer and top lifestyle retailer in Bangladesh.
Pride Limited currently operates in the country of Bangladesh, with over an estimated 100 stores. The Bangladeshi retail market is relatively young, but it is highly competitive due to rising demand for international quality apparel and other consumer products, and due to the growing population of young customers with increasing discretionary income to spend. At this current time, the Pride Limited network of 100 stores has over 1500 employees nationwide in sales, manufacturing and administration, and is present in every major Bangladeshi city.
