Bring back A&W, Wendy’s and Arby’s
Could someone please bring back my three favorite franchises to Kuwait. A&W originally opened up in the 80’s and then shut down only to open up again in the 90’s and to be shut down once more. Arby’s opened up in the late 80’s and then shutdown once the owner got the Burger King Franchise. Wendy’s opened up in the early 90’s to be shutdown for some unknown reason.
With Kuwait being the 8th fattest country in the world you would think that every imaginable franchise would fight for the opportunity to open here. How come my three favorite franchises no longer exist in Kuwait?

I know that this is a bit off topic.. but have KDD just doubled the prices on all their products??
2. Mark | January 22nd, 2008 at 7:53 pm
I think so cuz the other day while buying KDD 250ml full cream milk I noticed the Saudi version which was 500ml was selling for the same price.
3. sfsa78 | January 22nd, 2008 at 7:55 pm
I also heard that the KDD that is being sold in Saudi is much cheeper.. what the hell is going on??

I really like the cheeseburgers of Wendy’s. Only got to try them a month ago when I first arrived here in the states. Awesome cheeseburgers…

Wendy’s was my favourite when I was a kid, A&W tried it once before they shut it down.
Both great and I’m missing them a lot.

Hungry bunny aswell!

Arby’s is being brought down to Kuwait soon. That would be good coz I thought shutting it down was a stupid move since it had a cult following. I love their roast beef sandwiches.
8. Mark | January 22nd, 2008 at 10:16 pm
you’re serious?? thats fucking cool!
9. Sunny | January 22nd, 2008 at 10:50 pm
I’d go for the Wendy’s franchise if i had the money.
10. crocko rock | January 22nd, 2008 at 10:59 pm
Mark, I can confirm that one of those franchises is 100% confirmed for a return…….
11. Mark | January 22nd, 2008 at 11:14 pm

13. Mark | January 22nd, 2008 at 11:47 pm
i thought it was either a strip club or a place that sold weight lifting supplements.
14. ~LE~ | January 23rd, 2008 at 12:59 am

I remember arby’s was really advanced, they had touch screens to order from.

i have had food poisoning from A&W burgers twice, that place was unsanitary which is properly why it was shut down
i liked wendy’s though, Arby’s sells mostly roast beef which i hate
17. Spooner | January 23rd, 2008 at 1:50 am
im all for A&W get some taco bell !!!!
18. Angelo | January 23rd, 2008 at 1:52 am
Yes for Wendy’s. No for the other two.
19. shopa | January 23rd, 2008 at 6:42 am
Arby’s curly fries are the best. They should bring it back

sfsa78 – If I can’t find Almarai milk and juice, I go without milk and juice. I noticed last week that Carrefour weren’t stocking it any more, and TSC had ‘run out’. Maybe KDD are ‘wasta’ing them out due to Almarai’s popularity (they’re always the first to sell out).
I visited the Almarai farms outside Riyadh once. Amazing. You would think you were in the green firelds of Europe.

At least we still have one branch of A&W left (if its not there anymore we can trust Tamimi to get some canned A&W drinks ;) )

31. fwz247 | January 24th, 2008 at 3:37 am
A&W is the best one for me especially the chessfries tasty, last year i saw it in qatar airport hope it’s going back to kuwait .
32. Moey | January 24th, 2008 at 7:41 am
Long John Silvers was zbala
33. Rehan | January 24th, 2008 at 5:13 pm
Well for me the halal food of these resturants is going to be different since I go to these franchises here in the US.
34. Lunardream | January 29th, 2008 at 1:14 am
Please, if they’re going to bring back Arby’s, then they should stick to the original menu and skip on the locally made sandwiches (we were like the only fucking country to own a hambrugers-serving Arby’s!!!). I really really miss Wendy’s. They used to be open really late during college nights back in the states. But I remember back then when it used to be around, the meals were actually expensive. I do remember some meals were priced around 1.8 kD and 2.250 KDs. So you can figure out the price of meals with nowdays prices !!! I don’t think I’ll afford that for a burger meal :S

Ok so I live in Newfoundland, Canada, and this is actually the third time I got food poisoning from A&W. Be glad that you dont have A&W there!!
36. GeorgeSaliba | July 15th, 2009 at 11:03 am
OMG! i miss Wendy’s like hell, i spent my childhood there, used to go there every night with my family for dinner, i still wonder why did they shut it down.. every thing was perfect there.. the staff, the food and the location. even the egyptian security guy :P
A&W was amazing also, specially with it’s free root beer refull.
Arby’s had this amazing touch screens to order from.. it was pretty awesome and weird years ago!
Wendy’s was the best in salem al-mubarak street anyways.
