Just to let you know guys, i saw Kuwaiti Cospomolitan Review for GAP and there was a picture of a body shirt with GAP logo on it… My wife bought one just like it from GAP UK in the Clearance section back in december!!! can’t they bring us something new? I dont think its like a new line of shirts otherwise we would have found it again in the new collection so its definitly old…

Speaking of old stocks, do they have the RED hoodies? They were sold out in the UK so im wondering maybe they stock them here? There was a nice red hoodie my wife loved but was in size XS or something….

I wonder if anyone can help clear up the confusion for me…is there an aerial shot of the Avenues? Also, is there another development, just as big being built right next to it?

i feel actually intimidated by the security they follow you and look at you while you shop.

they should actually have a more frendly approach

holla: Yeah, about as sad as someone who has no purpose in life but to be cynical and angry and self-hating. Really sad.

yeah actually avenues needs conveyor belts so all the fatarses can quickly glide to the foodcourt and starfux.

Just a little note for all you Avenue goers………..take care not to stand still for too long!!!! yep, weird I know but listen to this. While waiting outside Boots, my freind and her 3 year old daughter were asked by the Sri Lankan ‘military’ security guard, not to stand still and to move on……..what???? When we objected and said how ridiculous that was we were then joined by additional security who agreed with us that this was silly, however he then proceeeded to tell my freind’s 3 year old, not to go near the ‘light box’ with her CLOSED water bottle! What do they have wiring problems???? Anyway, we laughed it off but as we walked through the rest of the mall to witness numerous drivers taking up the only few seats, sitting picking their feet, we realised how enraged we felt - we were a family out shopping for the day, just standing still in the Avenues, maybe they should install conveyor belts to keep everyone moving!!!!

Zaydoun: You are so right! I am not in Kuwait at the moment so I can’t judge for myself. But yes, that will be my ultimate test! It is the one aspect of Carrefour that I have been most looking forward to. That, and their bakery (some good proper bread). Also, I wonder if they will have a deli section…

wow…Kuwait now is one of the most important country in the whole world for brands and franchises company. It’s almost the only country that has all brands and franchised stores and restaurants, more than any other country in the world.
God..I love that country
Good luck

The Avenues is not fully opened and yet so full…
People in Kuwait like to complain. There are a lot of new shops that opened there. Carrefour is a new entrant to the Kuwaiti market. Give it time. I love Sultan, but every time I remember that I had that useless advantage card gets me upset. I have been using it for the longest time ever and then they realized the program doesnt work and re-invented the idea into a newer card! So what about my points!! All that time!!

Well… all I am saying is that the avenues is not that bad at all.. Although I dont see the fuss about how crazy people get with every new store that opens there like the GAP (I heard many items were sold out within hours LOL)
