“We are targeting Spring 2009 for our opening. This is an especially good season for retail sales and we want to provide our retailers with the best opportunity to meet the overwhelming customer demand,” Ahmed Al-Sarawi, Vice Chairman & CEO of Tamdeen Shopping Center Company, said.

360° KUWAIT has been meticulously planned and designed to be the most preferred shopping, dining, and entertainment destination in Kuwait, far superior to any of its competitors. It is expected to attract over 11 million visitors a year.

When it opens in March 2009, 360° KUWAIT will showcase more than 200 carefully chosen retailers of the highest repute. Exciting first time to Kuwait anchor retailers will include Géant the international hypermarket from France, Freedom Furniture, Toys “R” Us and Intersport.

The center’s success will be a tribute to the visionary outlook of the owners and managers of 360° KUWAIT. Designed to the highest international standards and specifications, this integrated development will offer its retailers top-quality, world class design, finishing and services.

“We carefully planned the shopping center using proven international formulas for success … we paid particular attention to the strategic layout of shops according to their uses and product offerings. This process is known as establishing the right merchandising mix for the center and it will be the key to the center’s success,” CEO Ahmed Al-Sarawi stated.

In addition, specific retail units are being targeted and selected on the basis of very tough criteria. “Our strategy was clear from the beginning. We wanted to bring in the most preferred shops and restaurants, encourage them to build their best stores, offer their best products, and ultimately provide the best service to our customers and visitors,” Ahmed Al-Sarawi added.
