The new Sports Corner
A few months back I noticed a new sports store was opening up in place of where Boushari was located in Salmiya. I was pretty excited because I thought it was a new franchise opening but then I found out it was just Sport Corner and I lost interest. Sports Corner was already open further down the street near Thuraya Complex and I didn’t like the place so I wasn’t expecting this new one to be better. I even got invited to the launch of the new store but I wasn’t interested.
Tonight though I decided to go in and it was pretty impressive. The store is 4 floors and although I don’t think the floor space is as big as GoSport, its still pretty packed with stuff especially in the basement. The ground floor is dedicated to Adidas, the second floor to Reebok, the third floor is Champions and the basement is packed with weight lifting, exercise equipment, bikes, punching bags, rackets and just a ton of stuff. The place is worth a visit if anything just so you know whats available in Kuwait in terms of sporting gear. GoSport still caters to a wider range of sports while I would say Sports Corner has a larger variety of weight lifting and exercise equipment.
Thats pretty cool, I wonder where Boushari went. I’m going to be checking it out for sure. I have a few things I’m looking for.
Boushari moved to Baghdad street. THey have like a large building there called Boushari Clinic and the photography studio is also in the same building.
I saw it two days ago…i was passing by it. It looked new, but i wasn’t interested either :s
the same owner of boshehri owns this store.
Could anyone tell me on my email where exactly this store is located? i wanted to visit sports corner for something
[...] Sports Corner in Salmiya is getting rid of all their athletic equipment because they want to focus just on sports clothing. So they’ve got 50% on all their sporting gear from threadmills, to Mongoose bikes, pool tables, table tennis tables, boxing gear, workout gear etc.. They’ve put all the stuff on their top floor and everything is half off. They have an elliptical machine for example that originally cost KD1300 and is now priced at around KD600. Even the Nike + iPod sport kit is now KD11.500 instead of KD20. Print Email Nov 15, 2009 [...]
