Body Shop to open in June
The first-ever The Body Shop outlet in Pakistan will open at The Forum in June, said Cosmetics Trading Company Managing Director Andrew Knappett at a press briefing held at a local hotel Wednesday. ** The company plans to open four stores in Pakistan in 2006 and the first two outlets would be opened in Karachi, followed by one each in Lahore and Islamabad, he said**. Knappett was reluctant to divulge the investment and said that the administration plans to continue with the same retail price structure as that of other outlets. He said that the Pakistani stores would look exactly like the foreign outlets. Moreover, each outlet would have tester stalls, which would help people decide which products suited them.
