Back in December when Shake Shack announced they was were opening up in Kuwait I had been told they were going to open up at the Avenues in the first half of the year. Well the first half of the year is nearly over and there still isn’t any sign of Shake Shack. According to my insider, Shake Shack was originally planned to open in the Benihana location but that plan was scrapped and now it still hasn’t been decided where in the Avenues Shake Shack will be opening. My guess is they’re looking for a prime location like PF Chang and Pinkberry. On a different note Pottery Barn Kids is going to open near The One and X-Cite.
Update: Ok a friend of mine told me that he heard that they are planning to open up in front of PF Chang. The restaurant will be built where the elevator is and the elevator shaft will be used for the ventilation (kinda like a chimney). The seating will be in the open in front of the restaurant. Although its hard to believe this actually makes a lot of sense since it would end up looking a lot like the Shake Shack in NY (picture above).

Thats not possible since Alshaya won’t open up anything at 360 since they own Avenues

There is a new place opening up besides P F Changs, it’s visible from the outside only and we have been wondering what it is going to be?
maybe that’s it?
I’m Kinda thinking where is Planet Hollywood it’s very late ??
Mark,
I know the guy who is tasked with setting up Shake shack here in Kuwait. I was/am going to put him in touch with you as i thought it would be a good way for him to get the msg out.
All prime areas are taken. I think It’s better they wait it out till phase 3 comes out. Unless they are planning to have like 10 outlets in the mall like Starbucks.
“Pottery Barn will be opening up near XCITE and The One”
Thats where iCity is !!
Just Imagine ..
Will they merge the companies and create an official Apple Store ?!?!?
They’re opening in place of ID Design and Vanelian. Also its Pottery Barn Kids, the regular Pottery Barn is opening further down.
Zohak: have him contact me
Ah, that’s a better location as I was wondering how they’ll fit it in front of PF Chang’s – there is no room (escalators, elevator shaft, glass door for the valet parking plus the medical services station is right there as well).
