I don’t know how accurate this information is but over the weekend I heard that Alshaya is going to enter the fast food business and they are going to do that by relaunching Arby’s and Wendy’s in Kuwait. I hope the rumor turns out to be true.

Wendyyyyy :(
that would be great but as far as i know arbys is dead in the usa but wendys wow wow and even more wow :)
yes! finally Arby’s !
i saw an ad from al shaya requisting executives chefs for dean and deluca
Like we don’t have enuff fastfood in this country!! LOL!!
im %100 sure it will open in the avenues phase 2 food hall but not alshaya .
Me too. I miss Wendy’s burgers and wouldn’t mind an Arby’s roast beef and cheddar with horseradish sauce as well as some of those crispy potato things… (and I usually hate fast food)
Mark – Arby’s is opening with Khorafi Global.
I don’t care who opens Arby, i just want ARBY”S!!! :P — never liked wendy’s though :S
I dun wanna be fatfukka but look like more choice of same food gonna give the whole country big tummy and hart probs. Where the healthy stuffs like ?
wow..this going to be a hit…I just love Wendy’s. I remember my father taking us there every weekend, I also remember my friends and I going there in Eid Days…
what about Wimpy?, do you guys remember it?
Wendy’s…oh my how happy i would be…no need to travel to Canada anymore..Everything i need is here..Starbucks and Wendys!!!!!!
This feels like taking a trip down nostalgia lane. Arby’s today, Wendy’s tomorrow….it is only going to be a matter of when before they are going to want to bring back A & W’s Root Beer, Boston Bay Cookies and New England Ice cream. Too bad, Ben & Jerry’s still aren’t represented in Q8!
Boston Bay?? Was that the cookie branch that was open next to Hungry Bunny in salmiya?? Cuz I used to love those cookies, they were the best but I couldn’t remember the name of the place!
Wimpys is still open Nuzha
Arby’s not Alshaya. Will open in phase 2. Can’t wait !!! I hope it survives because the food cost was phenomenal with Alhomaizi.
Yayyy ! now now , how about a tacobell while they’re at it ?
Alshaya is already in fast food market with samboosa :P
arbys and wendys still for Al Homaizee group
Everything from those two places is good except the kuwait-exclusive burgers from Arby’s!! I just couldn’t stand the crime of serving burgers at an arby’s. Except the prices would be higher than the usual especially for Wendy’s, since its prices were already high before closing. I’m talking like +2.5 KDs per meal, trust me on that.
Wow , Am in love with ALSHAYA ;p
guys, fast food is the reason why we’ve overtaken the USA in prevalence of obesity (and its deadly complications). You’re essentially promoting a health care catastrophe.
Think a little.
If there’s one place on earth that has more junk food outlets than Kuwait has; it’s got to be Doha in Qatar. Guess, it’s some kind of a Qatari affectation.
Maybe with the new foreign trade regulations in place, it won’t matter who their old agent is. (?)
Arby’s used to be in Kuwait a long time ago (10 years). I don’t know about Wendy’s. Do you think that Wendy’s will still offer the same healthy meals as they have in the US? I hope so.
Uno’s pizza used to be in Kuwait a long time go too. I wish they would come back. They had an awesome “salad in a bucket”, delivered.
loooooooool dude they guys were pulling your finger
o0o0o0o0oh That would BE Awesome!!!
Ok people..dont turn this into a political issue
Al Homaizi foodstuff co. is now owned by the Kout Group.
Al Homaizi Foodstuff IS Kout Group.
UPDATE: I just talked to a friend who works for Al-Shayi3…he told me that Arby’s and Wendy’s is just BS…BUT…they are thinking of brining Red Lobster for phase 2 of the avenues which is going to have the biggest food court in he Middle East
