[...] Back in December when Shake Shack announced it was opening up in Kuwait I had been told they were going to open up at the Avenues in the first half of the year. Well the first half of the year is nearly over and there still isn’t any sign of Shake Shack. The most recent thing I’ve been told by my insider is that Shake Shack was originally planned to open in the location where Benihana is currently going to open but that plan was scrapped and now it’s unknown where in the Avenues Shake Shack will be opening. My guess is they’re looking for a prime location like PF Chang and Pinkberry. On a different note Pottery Barn Kids is going to open near The One and X-Cite. Print Email Apr 24, 2010 [...]

I’d like to thank Al-Shaya group for basically shopping around (outside the middle-east) and bring in hmmm….

not only franchises by the Western Culture and diluting ours ….

My hat goes of to the Japanese who really take pride in there culture and fight any dilution and interference in it!.

Thank you Al shaya for smothering us with all these goodies!

How bout creating something original and think for yourselves for the first time? than snatching ideas around the world! Examples from our friends in Lebanon of real originality: burj al hamam …. the lemon tree … etc…
Be original for crying out load !

P.S.: What have u given back to the society the you are changing in not so good way?
Turn your heads to the franchises and ideas your are stanching and look at there social programs… how bout you learn something from that?

Hear hear to exploitative capitalism!

Can’t say I’ve ever had Shake Shack before but bring it on.. And Williams Sonoma in kuwait would be wonderful if they didn’t plan on slapping a KD over the USD. That stuff is tres expensive to begin with..
In all probability I will still be buying off the website :/

I second Panera’s nomination though!

newsreader: “speaking of International, Kuwait? why Kuwait? why not Washinton DC?” Fox news readers seem to get dumber every year.

Nice interview. I think a key element that will make Al-Shaya’s food market venture would be to maintain the same quality of the US.
Fudd’s is a good example. Had they maintained the way they first started then my guess is that they would still be successful today.

You know what would be a huge hit? A GOLD’S GYM in the Avenues. Now there’s an idea for the mall owner ;)

Mark, according to the owner of Slider Station some of the gourmet items on the menu are not Halal. He mentioned a few years ago on one of the blogs that the duck was not halal.

Mark, In n Out will not venture out beyond the west coast and you think they will come to Kuwait ? It’s all about quality control and being close to the source of good fresh beef and potatoes. They will not compromise that for 3agad ridden avenues.

Sn3a ALL meat in Kuwait is HALAL. No restaurant or shop is allowed to sell or serve non-HALAL meat.

Mohd: Shake Shack was just NY based and they’re opening up here in Kuwait so I am sure InNout will end up in Kuwait one day.
