::: Landmark business of Islamabad. Offers the usual array of pastries, cakes, biscuits, breads and loads of other sweet and snackish fare. They have a loyal clientele - it is probably the largest of the bakeries in terms of size if not selection.

::: Shaheen chemists are as thorough as any chemist shop in Islamabad and offer stuff like cosmetics and Body Shop items, often at exorbitant prices. Next to it is the Watson Pharmacy, a close second to Shaheen.

::: Useful for the same kind of largely imported foodstuffs as found in Kohsar market but with a lesser range.

::: Well known for their local sweet dishes.

::: Has the cities best collection of VHS. They also have a music section with a sketchy collection and most of the time the tapes you buy will be "home recorded" stuff which is a tad dodgy.

::: Located at the "backside" (a phrase you are going to hear a lot of meaning literally - the rear, or behind or at the back). This Islamabad's first sports shop for your athletic requirements.
