New Lulu Hypermarket @ Qurain

We have visited the new Lulu Hypermarket few times which was opened on 28July 2010 at Al Qurain commercial city and have liked it. The hypermarket’s expansive 20,000 sq m of retail space offers an ultra-modern retail atmosphere that includes every conceivable need of shoppers under one roof. In addition to displaying a panoply of international and regional brands, the hypermarket provides a dedicated play area for children, a food court, a money exchange and bank counters, as well as a huge parking lot that can accommodate in excess of 3,000 vehicles. With its well-stocked shelves, beautifully laid-out counters, wide aisles and banks of checkouts on each floor, the new hypermarket provides customers with the largest assortment of high quality products at the most affordable prices and a unique shopping experience.

On the ground floor, you will find roastry bakery, sea food, fresh meat, dairy products, vegetables and fruits. On the basement you will find electronics, home appliances, crystal, kitchen appliances and grocery. And on the mezzanine floor you will find mens wear, ladies wear, kids wear, luggage, shoes, lingerie, stationary, watch's, jewellery, sports items,toys, shoes, silks and churidars.

The new Lulu Hypermarket, which will cover the residential areas of Jaber Al Ali, Mubarak Al-Kabeer, Qurain, Qusoor, Ahmadi, Fahaheel, South Surra, Adan and Sabah Al-Salem, will attract huge interest among not only the local populace but also from shoppers from neighboring suburbs.

 

The brand, which has a distinct competitive advantage when it comes to understanding customers’ retail needs, uses this unique knowledge to operate under the successful corporate philosophy of providing customers with the “right products in the right place at the right time.

To get to Lulu you take the 40th and then exit on the 208 heading towards the Wataniya Airways airport. It’s located on the main road so you won’t miss it.

Catering to over 320,000 customers every day, the Lulu brand has grown to become the shopping center of choice for hundreds of citizens and expats today who look for quality retailing.

Al Mauleem Mall Center,Q8

Kuwait is a small country but Malls has mushroomed everywhere. Every four-five months you will get to hear about a new Mall.

A new Mall has come up in Fahaheel. Can say its opposite Max(if you stand in front of Max, you can get to see it). It’s Al Mauleem Mall Center. The word “Center”is written in tiny letters next to Mall. In fact you cannot call it a Mall in the true sense. There are lot many shops in its three floors . The ground floor or basement has a big shop where you will get all types of things from kitchen to bedroom items which ranges from 100 fills to 100 dinar.

The first floor has two restaurents where you will get juices and snacks. It also has few shoe shops (not branded) but the designs are very pretty and nice. Also shops dealing with ladies bags/purses; chocolate n dry fruits shop, 500 fills and 100 fills shops and few shops trading with perfumes , nice imitation and cosmetic jewellery, ladies dress’s and kids dress’s are there. I liked the collection in these shops. In the upper floor there is the kid’s games corner, few shops dealing with ladies and men’s cloths and few 100 fills shops. There are no branded shops in this Center but it’s a good time pass to beat the summer heat.

It has become my good time-pass place, when Jeet visits the Bangladeshi market to buy fish. I dont like visiting the narrow Bangladeshi market with Mehr, so I prefer doing window shopping at this mall. Mehr too enjoys her time here.

Commercial Market,Q8

This Friday visited Commercial Market with my friend Surekha and her family. This was my second visit in my three and half years stay in Kuwait. First time I visited was before Mehr was born. We were wandering in Kuwait City and we came across this market. After that many visits were planned but it never materialized.

“Commercial Market” is a popular name among Indian, Kuwaiti and Pakistani ladies. This market complex is in Kuwait City near the Liberation Towers. From outside it is just an old ordinary building. But as you enter you will be surprised to see lines of shops selling cloths of various textures, curtains, carpets, churidars and saris from India, Pakistan, Singapore and Korea. You need to bargain here. There is a famous shop call Meena Bazar which is famous for saris. There a many shops where you will get things for crafts; nice, unique laces and buttons .A place surely ladies will love. You can buy cloths to gift people back at home which they will certainly love.

I purchased few churidar pieces which I found very unique and heavily embroidered ….thought it will make perfect dress for any party.
