Shilan started as an experimental initiative in the year 2011 to cater to the need of a small society in East Madarbari, Chittagong. East Madarbari, is an area developed in the earlier days of the city of Chittagong, hence, abuzz with business activities, especially in the fields of iron, cement, plumbing materials etc. But the area is essentially a residential one as it holds educational institutions like century-old academic milestone Chittagong Collegiate School, Government City College, Primary Teachers Training Institute, Government Islamia College and many more.
With the support of our customers and staff, we have grown over the five years and now SHILAN is an 800sq feet shop having a nearby warehouse of the same size, with products ranging from baby diapers to cosmetics directly imported from the UK and Dubai, not to mention day to day need of grocery and other products.
We have now a separate department for services like photocopy, laminating, spiral binding, printing and other office necessities.
As we grew, so is our reputation, so demand for an online store was pressing in. And, here at SHILAN we have seen the business opportunity in it as people are too busy a day to visit the store in person. Thus, we have initiated this online service.
Right now we have only added the products that are available in our store shelves. However, very soon, we are going to have another warehouse for storing products. So, adding more products is not at all a problem. Just let us know what you need. We will try our best to add them to the list.
