Ummm what happened to the new Supermarket called Lulu that was supposed to open in Rai adjacent to the 4th Ring Road? I past by it last night and the Lulu Supermarket sign is down and replaced by “Dream Mall” or something like that. How did the supermarket that was gonna try to take over the market turn into a mall??

Here are some links related to this blog.
I don’t remember the Lulu Supermarket but I remember a time where there used to be a battery factory and a soap factory at that same spot.
Oh, and how in the world is this post related to the Delicious Library post?
i have no clue how its related. there must be a word in this post thats used in the other.. weird.
Lulu ha
Mark, the big boy coming to town isnt Lulu, its Carrefour, also opening in AlRai, but in the other mall on 5th ring road, the biggest one in Kuwait, called the avenues!
If u have time, drive into Rai towards the new mall, u will be shocked!! Its HUUGE! Also, its being positioned somewhere in between the Marina Mall / Al-Raya in terms of luxury.
Yeah i know avenues, I believe its being built by Mabanee cuz when they were our clients like 3 years ago they had just signed the contract to build the mall there. supposed to have the largest movie theaters in kuwait also.
yup just checked it is mabanee

You guys STILL haven’t gotten a Carrefour? Tsk tsk…We’ve got tons in the UAE ;o)
Also, mabrook on finally getting your first Dunkin’ Donuts (which has been open in the UAE since..well…the last century! :P)
Now back to “writing” my paper…
alright buddy, you can go shop at your fabulous Carrefour, and we’ll settle for Sultan Center. Atleast it’s made in Kuwait.
Carrefour isn’t exactly Gallery LaFayette, for crying out loud!
Hey Talal, don’t even talk about how we just got our first dunkin donuts cause i’m still waitin on ur kfirst rispy kremes to open up in Dubai son……
we had dunkin donuts before the invasion .. but it closed down and now it reopened.
big deal its just a fuckin donut place
Does anyone know when Carrefour in The Avenues is opening Gale
everything got set.. staff has been recruited.. just some clearance prob with the ministry… the signboards are up… hope in couple of weeks..
Gale, the Kuwait Times reported today that Carrefour will open on Tuesday, March 22 at The Avenues. Finally, something besides the Sultan Center and Lulu!
