Gulfmart Inaugurates Mini - Supermarket in Mahboula

Gulfmart’s impressive growth as Kuwait’s fastest growing retail chain was given another boost on Friday 29th March, when their 18th branch, and 5th mini-supermarket in the country, opened in Mahboula. The new branch was inaugurated in front of a crowd of customers, well-wishers and top Gulfmart management by prominent entrepreneur and Indian community representative, Mr. Mathunny Mathew.

 

The new mini-supermarket, which is located in Block 3 of Mahboula, at the Mussad Al Saleh Complex on Street 11, sported the brand’s easily visible, refreshingly new two-toned green leaf logo across the façade. The bracing new logo, which the brand adopted since November 2012, epitomizes a reinvigorated and dynamic Gulfmart, and underlines its fresh product offerings.

 

“ Our new logo projects a fresh, vibrant and youthful image of Gulfmart at a time when we are into the second phase of our expansion drive in Kuwait and the region, ” said Arif Sheikh, Managing Director of Gulfmart Group.  “ We are excited at the opening of fifth mini supermarket in Mahboula and would like to thank our customers for their continued support and cooperation over the years.”

 

Speaking on the sidelines of the Mahboula branch opening, Gulmart’s Country Manager in Kuwait, Dr. T.A. Remesh, said, “ The new branch in Mahboula is our fifth outlet in the mini- supermarket format. We plan on opening several more outlets in different size formats across Kuwait to take the total Gulfmart branches to 25 by end of 2013. Our expansion strategy, which has been labeled 25/25, envisions eventually opening 25 mini-supermarkets in the 800-3000 sq ft range all over Kuwait. ” The country manager added, “In the immediate future, we will be launching a third branch in Fahaheel of 30,000 sq ft, a second branch in Khaitan of similar area and a 10,000 sq ft third outlet in Hawally.”

 

The management team at Gulfmart expressed the view that the new branch in Mahboula was opened in response to clearly defined needs of customers in the area, and that the mini-supermarket format would prove to be as successful as the other four outlets already opened in various locations. They added that the new branch reinforced Gulfmart’s commitment to presenting customers in niche residential areas with enormous value through wide selection, competitive prices and excellent service, along with great offers and superb promotions.
