Origins of Shihab Mart

Shihab Mart didn’t start as just another grocery store—it was born out of a vision. A vision to bring a better, more affordable, and dignified shopping experience to every family in Bangladesh. In a country where access to quality products is often a privilege of the few, Shihab Mart set out to break that barrier.

It began in the heart of Lalmonirhat, not with a big outlet or national attention—but with a bold idea. An idea led by Shihab Ahmed, a visionary entrepreneur and proud son of Barakhata, who believed that the people in his own hometown and beyond deserve better—better prices, better service, better lives.

Building the Brand

From day one, Shihab Mart was designed to reflect three core values:

• Trust –Ensuring product authenticity and price transparency.
• Care – Putting community needs first, whether through product availability or special campaigns.
• Quality – Partnering with top brands like Unilever, Fresh, IFAD, and more.

What started as a local venture quickly grew into a household name across Northern Bangladesh. Customers began associating the brand not just with groceries—but with commitment, emotion, and community care.

Campaigns That Made a Difference

Shihab Mart’s growth wasn’t driven by flashy marketing—it was fueled by real impact.

• Fish Fairs (মাছের মেলা): Bringing fresh river and sea fish to people’s doorstep at fair prices.
• Ramadan Essentials Campaign: Ensuring daily staples at subsidized rates during the holy month.
• Grand Openings: Each outlet launch feels like a festival—crowds, music, offers, and genuine joy.
• Royal Enfield Raffle Draw: A way to reward loyal shoppers with dreams they never expected to win.

These campaigns became more than marketing—they became community celebrations.

Expansion Across the Nation

With successful outlets in Rangpur, Keraniganj , and more in the pipeline like Hatibandha, Patgram, and Barakhata, Shihab Mart is on a mission: 64 districts. 64 outlets. One trusted name.

Each outlet isn't just a store; it’s a local ecosystem creating jobs, supporting suppliers, and uplifting rural economies.
