Brand Stores in Pakistan: Which Cities Have Sapphire, Khaadi and More
Brand Stores in Pakistan: Retail vs Factory Outlet
A genuine factory outlet sells surplus stock or seconds directly from the manufacturer, usually at the factory gates and at a steep discount. That model exists in clothing-manufacturing countries where brands run outlet villages or warehouse sales. Pakistani fashion brands have not adopted it in any systematic way.
What the brands do have are regular retail stores. These carry the current season’s collection at full price, plus whatever end-of-season sale rails the brand is running at the time. The word “outlet” is sometimes used loosely to mean any brand-owned store, which is why searches for “factory outlets in Pakistan” mostly return regular shopping mall locations.
For online clearance, the picture is equally thin. When we checked 27 brand catalogues for genuine outlet or clearance rails, only five brands had any marked-down stock at all, and the total came to 39 pieces. That analysis is in our factory outlets online guide.
This article maps the brand stores in Pakistan city by city, so you know which brands are within reach before you travel. Of the four brands checked, only Sapphire published a complete, verified store list that we could confirm directly from their official website on 1 November 2026.
Sapphire: 48 Stores Across 22 Cities
Sapphire is the only major fashion brand whose complete store locator we could verify directly from the official website on 1 November 2026. The list below comes from pk.sapphireonline.pk/stores and covers every location as it appears on that page. For the current list and any new openings, the live page is at pk.sapphireonline.pk/stores.
Sapphire stores by city (top 7)
Verified from official store locator, November 2026
Seven cities account for 33 of Sapphire’s 48 locations. The remaining 15 cities each have one store.
| City | Province / Region | Stores | Key locations |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lahore | Punjab | 9 | Emporium Mall, Packages Mall, Dolmen Mall Lahore, Gulberg, Bahria Town, Wapda Town, Lake City Mall, Allama Iqbal Town |
| Islamabad | Islamabad Capital Territory | 7 | Centaurus Mall (2 outlets), Giga Mall, Giga Boutique Mall, Safa Gold Mall, PWD, F-10 |
| Karachi | Sindh | 7 | Dolmen Mall Clifton, Dolmen Mall Tariq Road, LuckyOne Mall, Atrium Mall Sadar, Square One Mall, North Nazimabad, Bahadurabad |
| Rawalpindi | Punjab | 3 | Madison Square Mall, Lucky Arcade, Saddar |
| Gujranwala | Punjab | 3 | Kings Mall, Satellite Town, Rahwali |
| Faisalabad | Punjab | 2 | Lyallpur Galleria Mall, Kohinoor City |
| Sheikhupura | Punjab | 2 | Ferozwatwan, Civil Lines |
| Abbottabad | KPK | 1 | Jhangi Mansehra Road |
| Bahawalpur | Punjab | 1 | Fifth Avenue Plaza, Ahmadpur Road |
| Gujrat | Punjab | 1 | Katchery Road, Muslimabad |
| Hyderabad | Sindh | 1 | Autobahn Road |
| Jhang | Punjab | 1 | GTS Mall, Session Chowk |
| Mandi Bahauddin | Punjab | 1 | Phalia Road, Cheema Chowk |
| Mirpur | AJK | 1 | Dolphin Chowk, Sector F-1 |
| Multan | Punjab | 1 | Gulgasht Colony, Pizza Hut Road |
| Peshawar | KPK | 1 | University Road |
| Rahim Yar Khan | Punjab | 1 | Model Town, North Gate |
| Sahiwal | Punjab | 1 | Girls College Road |
| Sargodha | Punjab | 1 | University Road |
| Sialkot | Punjab | 1 | V Mall, Sialkot Cantt |
| Swat | KPK | 1 | Saidu Sharif, Blue Area |
| Wah Cantt | Punjab | 1 | New City Arcade, New City Phase 2 |
| Source: pk.sapphireonline.pk/stores, verified 1 November 2026. Verify current addresses before travelling. | |||
The fifteen single-store cities include Jhang, Mandi Bahauddin, Mirpur in AJK, and Sahiwal. That is a wider footprint than most Pakistani fashion brands publish publicly, which is why Sapphire’s data appears in detail here while others are noted in summary only.
Sapphire’s online shop is at sapphireonline.pk. We could not measure its online clearance section because the product feed redirects (301) rather than returning prices.
Khaadi Store Coverage
Khaadi’s store locator was not accessible on 1 November 2026 (the URL returns a 404). Secondary sources, including a Wikipedia entry and trade press, put the Pakistan count at roughly 60 stores across 30 cities. That figure has appeared consistently for the past two years but we could not verify it from the brand’s own website on this date.
For current addresses, use the store finder at khaadi.com and select Pakistan. Khaadi’s coverage at the city level is likely similar to Sapphire’s, covering the major cities plus secondary Punjab cities.
For Khaadi’s sale prices and what is currently discounted, see our Khaadi sale guide.
Gul Ahmed / Ideas Stores
Gul Ahmed’s retail chain trades as Ideas by Gul Ahmed. A Gulf News feature from 2025 reported more than 100 stores across Pakistan, making it the largest physical retail network among the major fashion brands. An older Marketline report cited 40 locations, probably covering an earlier period or a narrower definition of the chain.
The flagship Ideas store in Pakistan is at Dolmen Mall Clifton, Karachi, which Geo News reported as the largest when it opened in January 2025. Ideas operates in both major cities and secondary markets.
Gul Ahmed’s store locator sits on gulahmedshop.com. The server returned a 429 (rate limited) when we checked on 1 November 2026, so we cannot give a city list from their official page. Use gulahmedshop.com for current addresses.
For what Gul Ahmed currently has on sale online, see our Gul Ahmed sale guide.
Nishat Linen Stores
Nishat Linen is a brand under Nishat Mills Limited and is separate from The Linen Company, which belongs to a different group (Nishat Chunian). The two share a group name but are run independently.
Secondary sources from the mid-2020s put Nishat Linen’s Pakistan retail footprint at more than 50 cities. Karachi and Lahore account for roughly 30 percent of sales each according to an industry interview, with Islamabad and Hyderabad also ranking as major markets. Smaller cities including Lalamusa, Bhurewala, Rahim Yar Khan, and Jhelum have been mentioned in older coverage.
Nishat Linen’s official website is nishat.net. The store locator page returned a 500 error on 1 November 2026. For current addresses, contact the brand through nishat.net or check their official social media pages.
For Nishat Linen’s online sale stock and pricing, see our Nishat Linen sale guide.
Finding Discounts in Physical Stores
Retail sale rails in physical stores are the main way Pakistani brands offer in-person discounts. These are not factory outlet prices: the cuts typically match what the brand is running online at the same time, usually 20 to 50 percent on end-of-season lines.
- Check the brand’s online sale first. If a brand has a sale section live on its website, the same lines are usually discounted in-store. Our live sales page shows which brands are running discounts right now.
- Look for a “clearance” or “last sizes” rail at the back of the store. Amir Adnan physically tags factory-outlet pieces as “Slightly Defected” with a separate price sticker. Ethnic by Outfitters has a separate accessories clearance section in some stores.
- Ask about end-of-season stock. Store staff can tell you whether the current season’s sale rail is the only markdown, or whether older stock has been pushed to the back.
- Visit on weekdays. Sale rails are fuller at the start of the week. Weekend footfall depletes popular sizes quickly.
Which Major Brands Are in Each City

| Sapphire counts are verified from the official store locator. Khaadi, Gul Ahmed/Ideas and Nishat Linen entries are approximate: we could not access their store locator pages on 1 November 2026. “Unknown” means not confirmed either way. | ||||
Khaadi and Nishat Linen both report large secondary-city footprints in older coverage, so “unknown” in the table above does not mean absent. It means we could not confirm from an official source on 1 November 2026.
Among all the brand stores in Pakistan, Sapphire is the most transparent about its physical locations: their store locator page lists complete addresses, postcodes and nearest landmarks. Khaadi’s official Pakistan site did not return a store page during our check. Gul Ahmed’s server was rate-limiting at the time. Nishat Linen’s locator returned a server error. We will update the table above as the other brand locators become accessible. For current addresses, always check the brand’s official website directly before travelling to a store.

Does Sapphire have a factory outlet store?
No. Sapphire runs 48 regular retail stores across 22 Pakistani cities, not factory outlet stores. An outlet store would sell surplus or seconds at a manufacturer discount. Sapphire does not operate one. Their online store at sapphireonline.pk does not publish a readable product feed, so we cannot check for an online clearance rail either.
Which city has the most Sapphire stores?
Lahore has nine Sapphire locations, the most of any city. Islamabad and Karachi each have seven. Rawalpindi and Gujranwala each have three.
How many cities have a Sapphire store?
Twenty-two Pakistani cities have at least one Sapphire store as of November 2026, from Lahore and Karachi down to smaller cities including Jhang, Mandi Bahauddin, Sahiwal, and Mirpur in Azad Jammu and Kashmir.
Does Khaadi have stores in small cities?
Yes. Khaadi reportedly operates around 60 stores in about 30 Pakistani cities, which covers cities beyond the big three. For a current city list and addresses, check khaadi.com directly, as we could not access their store locator page to verify addresses.
Where can I find discounted or clearance clothing in person?
In-store sale rails and end-of-season markdowns are the closest thing to a factory outlet at most Pakistani fashion brands. Online, the brands with genuine clearance sections in their catalogues are Amir Adnan, Ethnic by Outfitters, and Cambridge, as measured in our factory outlets article.
Are there any multi-brand outlet stores in Pakistan?
A few multi-brand retailers stock surplus and seconds from multiple brands under one roof, but they are not affiliated with the brands officially and stock varies. We have not verified any specific chain, so we cannot recommend one by name.
Does Gul Ahmed have a store in my city?
Gul Ahmed operates more than 100 stores across Pakistan under the Ideas by Gul Ahmed brand, covering major and secondary cities. For current addresses, check gulahmedshop.com, as their store locator was unavailable to us on 1 November 2026.
