The billion $ question is how come the Pak folks can afford it with a per capita GDP lower than that of BD?!?! And, how come Pak doesn't allow IAF jets more than a couple of minutes inside their airspace, whereas Burmese jets can fly inside BD at will for weeks together?!?!?

India will fight Pak till the Last BD's GDP#.....

Point wasn't the article. Point was your BD brother(black cats) dragging Pakistan into it for no apparent reason.

Guys from your side do that and sometimes they do get responses from others too.

Pakistan as we know is bankrupt and about to fall apart. But did you know these facts -

88

India October 13, 1996[39] Delhi 290+ (source: 2017)[40][41] 5,306,288 McDonald's India

106

Pakistan September 19, 1998[44] Karachi 60 (source: 2018) 2,885,757 McDonald's Pakistan

If you notice Pakistan has nearly twice more McD's outlets then India with one branch for every 2.8 million compared to 5.3 million in India. This tells you about disposable income in both countries. And Bangla does not even have McD. And I am not making any statements about how good their food is - which I regard as sub-par. but it does tell us something about the real economy on the ground.

Congrats on IHOP!

Popular American pancake house chain IHOP has announced plans to open as many as 19 outlets in Pakistan in the coming years, Bloomberg reported on Monday.

The first Pakistani location of the International House of Pancakes, better known by the acronym IHOP, will be opened in Karachi by the end of 2019, followed by 18 more branches across the country over the course of nine years.

As per Bloomberg, the decision to tap into the Pakistani market is a part of the American pancake restaurant’s "efforts to seek new revenue abroad".

Dine Brands Global Inc, the parent company of IHOP, shared the news on Monday, revealing that nine of its franchises in Pakistan would be operated by the Gerry's Group while the rest would be sub-franchised.

ARTICLE CONTINUES AFTER AD
"Pakistan’s rapidly growing economy" was part of the reason behind opening branches there, Bloomberg quoted Dine Brands Chief Executive Officer Steve Joyce as saying.

In a statement, Joyce said that international development was a "major component of the company’s return to growth".

According to the report, the pancake chain has recently bounced back with Joyce as the CEO following a "couple of dismal years".

“We are delighted to be bringing the world famous American IHOP experience to our country and to our portfolio of successful companies,” Akram Wali Muhammad, Managing Director for Gerry’s Group was quoted as saying in a press release by AP News.

“While IHOP will be a new brand in Pakistan, there is already significant awareness of and excitement about IHOP and we look forward to the opening of our first location later this year.”

Agreements have already been signed to expand IHOP into Peru and Equador this year, and to open more locations in Canada.

The chain is already present in 14 countries including India, Thailand and Guam and is exploring possibilities for business in the United Kingdom, Bloomberg reported.

Shit man, Isolation is hitting us hard...

so the invasion has started

Despite the Big Mac being more expensive in Pakistan then India.

the shittiest food on earth

 

[Syed1.]

Good decision to start from Karachi since it is the most progressive place in Pak and a foreign food business is most likely to succeed there.

Despite the Big Mac being more expensive in Pakistan then India.

Big Mac in India is vegetarian that is why is cheaper than anywhere else in the world. McDonalds has no beef items on their menu in India. Learn basic facts before acting like an expert.
