Bata opens new franchise store at CSD, Dhaka Cantonment

Bata Bangladesh has inaugurated its largest franchise store at the CSD Tower in Dhaka Cantonment, marking a significant milestone in the company's retail expansion in Bangladesh.

The new outlet was jointly inaugurated by Faria Yasmin, Managing Director of Bata Bangladesh, and Brigadier General Md. Mozammel Hossain, Managing Director of the Canteen Stores Department (CSD). Senior officials from both organisations were present at the opening ceremony, reflecting the strategic collaboration between Bata and CSD.

The newly launched store spans approximately 1,500 square feet and is located within the CSD Tower, a government-run retail facility under the Ministry of Defence. The CSD plays a key role in supplying essential goods at subsidised prices, primarily to support the welfare of defence personnel, with a strong focus on quality, affordability, and regulated retail practices.

Through this outlet, Bata aims to provide eligible CSD customers with convenient access to a wide range of footwear, combining its global brand standards with local retail needs. Company officials said the initiative aligns with Bata's broader vision of inclusive retail growth while supporting institutions that contribute to national service and welfare.

The opening of the CSD franchise store further strengthens Bata's presence in Bangladesh and underscores its commitment to expanding customer access through strategic partnerships.
