GAP & Banana Republic
Both GAP and Banana Republic will be opening up at the new Avenues mall early next year. Although I am not a fan of either of them but at least they are new brands in Kuwait.

:: There was a branch here in Kuwait. and later on they moved to beidon but not anymore !
14. Mark | November 18th, 2006 at 2:48 pm
there was a small Gap branch for beidoun in a mall in Hawalli and it later moved to Magical Kingdom mall in fahaheel or something like that.

Actually this time it wasn’t Al Shaya who got the franchise. Al Tayer Group from the UAE got it for the GCC except for KSA.

20. nQ | November 18th, 2006 at 10:27 pm
wait.. why am i the only curious one?
what is the “new ave mall” ?
21. jashanmal | November 18th, 2006 at 10:32 pm
Magical Kingdom? in Fahaheel?
its actually called kuwait magic and no its not in fahaheel its in the small township of Abu halifa which is two towns north of fahaheel…As for Banana Republic, their clothing items wears off real quick and became more for the dandy type of guyz…
People of Kuwait prepare yourselves to fall into the GAP!
22. onlyme | November 18th, 2006 at 11:00 pm

25. onlyme | November 19th, 2006 at 10:25 am

26. vampire | November 19th, 2006 at 11:33 am

i want abercrombie & fitch

I’ve noticed a HUGE difference between GAP stores in the US and the ones in London. In the US they’re a mess and the merchandise is crap, whereas in London it’s somehow nicer. I hope we get the London version
As for Banana Republic, they went through a “hip” phase a few years ago and their men’s stuff was really nice. But they’re now back to basics, which are alright.
I expect A&F to come here eventually
28. roro | November 19th, 2006 at 11:09 pm

29. RDSD | December 13th, 2006 at 10:30 pm
