Comments on: The Avenues – Kuwait’s largest mall now open! http://sabahkamal.wordpress.com/2007/03/18/the-avenues-kuwaits-largest-mall-now-open/ The real trouble with reality is that there's no background music Wed, 30 Dec 2009 01:27:21 +0000 http://wordpress.com/ hourly 1 By: Sabah Hussain http://sabahkamal.wordpress.com/2007/03/18/the-avenues-kuwaits-largest-mall-now-open/#comment-46 Sabah Hussain Sun, 25 Mar 2007 08:34:55 +0000 http://sabahkamal.wordpress.com/2007/03/18/the-avenues-kuwaits-largest-mall-now-open/#comment-46 What I'd really like to see is some dedicated gadget/gizmo store in Kuwait. I'm sure it would do awesome business here. Yeah the naming is getting interesting and it would be great if the crowd at Marina mall evened out some.

Can't wait to loot the Springfield store when they open there: there's something about that store I just can't seem to get enough of. Lately, we've been seeing a lot of caricature malls going up all over the place that are remarkably similar in their touch and feel. The Avenues on some level is no exception. However, what makes it so distinct from the rest is, for one; the name Mabanee have decided to give it and two; the name again. It is so typically cosmopolitan - makes you wonder if it was truly meant for the melting pot which Kuwait is! :) Haven't been there yet but my money would be on a Deira City Centre re-visited or something on those lines, you get the idea. We are beginning to see a pattern emerge here, in the nomenclature of malls on the Kuwaiti horizon : first you have the Avenues then Symphony, and in another year or two 360° Kuwait. The names certainly have gotten promising. Let us hope then the stores are not a damp squib. Cheers, B'Orrhoea Indeed, it is now open.

Even though I've heard it before; I keep thinking IKEA is a thing on its own and not part of The Avenues. arabianfox: Thanks for the clarification.
