I returned it that night without causing a fuss. A week later I came back and found at least 30 of the same product with the same expiration date. I went BALLISTIC, and when I go, I GO! I started shouting at the top of my lungs at the manager (with the aim of creating a memorable scene). They took them down right then and there. I stopped them and demanded that they open every package (to render it completely unsellable). They complied. Sadly being civilized and polite gets you no where here. I also heard from a friend who worked in Sultan for a while that you should never ever ever ever ever eat at the prepared food section or at Jean's cafe. The reason being that all expired produce and meats arent thrown away, instead they are cooked at Jean's and the prepared food section. This is from a guy I completely trust and who left Sultan amicably and is fond of them. I bought 3 months old expired cat food (Whiskas Tuna Treats) at sultan salmiya.

Sultan didn't buy only Geant in Leb, but also Monoprix. This info is still conf though. They offered to buy other leb chains but only monoprix and geant accepted. Geant was sold for around $40ml, no idea about monoprix. source: competitors Hey! Sultan didn’t buy only Geant in Leb, but also Monoprix. This info is still conf though.

Sultan Center is trying to expand in the region by purchasing the local stores in the different countries. for example in Jordan they bought safeway all over there but it is still under the safeway brand. i assume they would continue their shopping spree and then rebrand all their chains.... like what agility did ... and yeah you are talking the same family here ...

A few times it is already expired, and others it is really close to the expiration date. I could never do anything about it because I throw out the reciepts. It is not an isolated incident I tell you. I’ve had problems in the past with Sultan and their expired food. A few times it is already expired, and others it is really close to the expiration date.

The fact that a person displays a bill from TSC and a package near that bill does not mean they actually purchased the goods at TSC. As for Lebanon, TSC did make a bid 2 months back for Geant and MonoPrix for a total of US$ 97 million and the bid was accepted, with 2 months grace period for final approval by TSC. SO, TSC is NOT YET in charge either of Geant or MonoPrix in Lebanon. Please do not convey information from other blogs before you verify this information,, as I said (above). Your blog is quite popular as you know! This is why it could cause much damage to the 'target'.
