After posting about On Cost the other day I decided to pass by and check it out myself. From the pictures (and logo) it looked like Kuwait’s version of Costco and on some level it is but mostly it isn’t. The place turned out to be a lot smaller than I was expecting it to be. There also isn’t an electronics section, a clothing section or a hardware or home-ware section. The way everything is displayed thought make it looks like a Costco but it’s more of a supermarket then a full fledged all in one retailer. I picked up a label maker from their small office supply section. I got it for around KD3 less than I had seen it somewhere else.
Finding the place was easy. Just take the 6th Ring Road and if 360 Mall is on your right keep heading straight past the Jaber Al-Ahmad International Stadium. Keep driving until you pass the new Kuwait University campus on your left (currently just hills and hills of sand) and then after that in a bit you’ll see a sign for the 604 exit. Once you take the exit stop at the traffic light and then take a left and pass under the bridge. Then keep driving straight until you get to a roundabout, you should spot what looks like a huge ass mall in the middle of the desert on your right, that’s the vegetable market and On Cost is located there.
Update: Here is a link to the location on [Google Maps]

ooooo he said the “A” word..Bad Mark!
grow up nap.
Funny enough, I checked this out yesterday. I was mainly looking for cheaper meat, but found that all of their beef is from China. Think I’ll stick to Lulu!
Mark, most important thing left unanswered.
How is it price-wise? Could you be able to compare?
well not sure about food products. I think i saw organic eggs being sold for 1.050 for half a dozen while in sultan they sell for around 1.240. I picked a label maker for kd13.050 while in sultan its for kd16.900.
Do you know what’s their office hours please?
