I remember Tommy being open in Marina Mall around 7 years back but they weren’t doing good (I heard) and they shut down. Now it looks like they’re reopening again but this time at 360 Mall. Their new location is right next to Signor Sassi in place of Yo Sushi! and also right next to Mango.
Interestingly the brand doesn’t seem to be owned by Alshaya anymore. When Tommy was previously open in Kuwait Alshaya had the brand but, I just checked out the Alshaya website and there is no sign of Tommy Hilfiger so it looks like it’s opening under new ownership.

great comeback i like the brand
In 1996, rumors had circulated that Hilfiger had made some racial comments and allegedly confirmed it on Oprah. I’d assume it was for this reason Alshaya cut ties. It was later proven that the rumors were false and neither did he appear on Oprah. So i guess Tommy is coming back!
The originaly Tommy in Kuwait carried the European Tommy assortment and performed very poorly, lots of sales and offers.
I assume they will come back with the US range which is better.
WHY ARE ALL THE GOOD SUSHI RESTRAUNTS CLOSING????!!?!?!
FIRST IT WAS KEI, NOW YO SUSHI? D: WHERE WILL I GET MY DELICIOUSLY CHEAP SUSHI NOW???
Kei is still open at JW Marriott and yo sushi wasn’t cheap which is why it probably closed
LOL @Donawyn- you think Al Shaya would worry about a few racial slurs???? That would require moral integrity.
In fact……
‘Oprah Winfrey addressed the rumor personally during a show broadcast in 1999, summarized on her website as follows:
For the record, the rumored event that has circulated on the Internet and by word-of-mouth never happened. Mr. Hilfiger has never appeared on the show. In fact, Oprah has never even met him. ‘
On May 2, 2007 Tommy Hilfiger appeared on the Oprah Winfrey Show — for the first and only time, mind you — to dispel this scurrilous rumor once and for all.
Actually they made a new arrangement with Starbucks because of the whole Israeli thing
what kind of arrangement?
Hi Mark, Tommy Hilfiger is opening under the ownership of apparel group…www.appareluae.com 🙂
