10 Years of Choowy Goowy

choowygoowyclassic

Damn does time fly by fast… Choowy Goowy are celebrating their 10 year anniversary this year. It feels like it was just yesterday when I was sitting on my couch, overweight, munching down jar after jar of their cookies while watching the latest episode of Prison Break. I’m also personally celebrating 10 years of friendship since the owner and I ended up becoming close friends after that back and forth collaboration on the blog. For those of you who weren’t in Kuwait at that time, Choowy Goowy basically started the whole home business and cupcake craze (even though they were never a home business or made any cupcakes). Since then they’ve expanded around the region and opened a number of local outlets including their latest one which they’ll be opening this Wednesday next month in Promenade. I told them they should temporarily sell their cookies with their old original branding (pictured above) just for nostalgia’s sake.

I’ve been contemplating for the past few minutes if I should or shouldn’t include a link to my original post and review of Choowy Goowy from back in 2006. I tend to really dislike reading my old posts since it’s kinda like looking through old photos and thinking what the fuck was I wearing?! I ended up deciding that I’d link to the post but just not read it myself. Hopefully it’s not as bad as I imagine it being. Check it out over [Here]

Update: Turns out I misunderstood, their Promenade location isn’t opening this Wednesday but in fact opening next month. But to celebrate their 10 year anniversary, Choowy Goowy are holding an event at their soon to open Promenade location this Wednesday from 6PM to 9PM. Everyone is invited.

Said it before and ill say it again. CHewy Goowy is somewhere i will never order from. I ordered a bunch of cookies – and one that was supposed to have chips in it were completely plain. It was for someone’s bday – and it was a huge disappointment. So I complained on a previous 248am post – and immediately, because of the negative publicity i assume, the person was like “oh im sorry what can we do to help here’s my number and email address” – so i called – no pickup. I emailed no reply. Fast forward a few years and you make another post about them, I say the same thing… then they leave a mesagae – same exact response. and as usual no reply to my emails.

They are not a truly customer oriented business – save face and keep going on the bare minimum effort is not the ethic i want to be dealing with. Oh well… I’m sure it will do well regardless and that’s all that matters to them.

I’m complaining about the position of privilege kuwaitis seem to have in not giving a shit about customer care – intentionally. If that sounds like a baby then i really couldnt give a shit.

you’re complaining about not getting chips in your cookies from a few years up? grow up. you should’ve went back to the store yourself and dealt with it. no need to keep bringing it up everytime you see a Choowy Goowy post. BTW mark, tell your friend to bring back the pizzas in their menu! I used to go to the restaurant 2-3 years ago and it was amazing. sad to see it go. I think they’re shifted away from serving food, if i’m not mistaken.

it’s the glory of moderated posts that allow me to write whatever i want unless the moderator feels or thinks otherwise. And no im not complaining about not getting chips – im making a point about the customer care person wanting to kiss my ass in public for the betterment of his company while not doing a damn thing in public. But hey – whatever floats your boar man!

Wow can’t believe ten years, I also remember someone told its the 9nt anniversary of the avenues. Time goes by fast.
