Our plan is to grow our market share in Kuwait and get into niche areas with our supermarket brand Géant Easy. The Souk Al Jleeb location offered a great opportunity to showcase our supermarkets in Kuwait. The decision to open a store in Souk Al Jleeb was based on the tremendous potential we see for retailing here, as it is an ideal catchment area. According to Mohammed Ashfaq, Country Head for Fu-com - Kuwait, a joint venture between Tamdeen Group and Retail Arabia, and which operates the Géant brand in Kuwait, “based on our previous experience with Géant Easy, we expect an overwhelming response to the opening of our second branch in Souk Al Jleeb. We are offering fabulous deals on the opening day and will continue to offer great bargains to ensure we become the first choice for shopping in the area. Our main objective is to always give the most competitive prices to our customers and to offer the widest range of fruits and vegetables that are the best available in town." Retail Arabia launched the first Géant hypermarket in Bahrain in 2001, followed by Dubai in 2005 and Kuwait in 2009. Along with Géant, Retail Arabia has also successfully launched its supermarket and convenience store brands in Bahrain, Dubai and Kuwait.
