A new outlet of Metro Mart, one of Bangladesh's leading superstore chains and a concern of Akij Venture Group, has been inaugurated in Katasur, Mohammadpur, one of the capital's busiest commercial hubs.

The outlet was officially opened on Sunday, July 19, 2026, with a ribbon-cutting ceremony led by Syed Joynul Abedin, Chief Executive Officer of Akij Venture Limited, according to a media release. 

Senior officials from Metro Mart were also present at the event.

Unlike many superstores that are heavily stocked with high-priced imported products, Akij Metro Mart offers customers a distinctly different shopping experience. Without compromising on quality, the chain is committed to delivering the finest locally produced goods to consumers at affordable prices, the release says. 

Speaking at the inauguration ceremony, Syed Joynul Abedin, Chief Executive Officer of Akij Venture Limited, said, "The days of relying on imported products are coming to an end. We believe Metro Mart will strengthen consumers' confidence in Bangladeshi products. Through modern e-commerce management, superior customer service, and the delivery of high-quality local products, Metro Mart is winning the trust of consumers from all segments. With more than 600 outlets and e-commerce stores across the country, Metro Mart aims to make premium 'Made in Bangladesh' products and safe, organic food easily accessible to consumers nationwide."
