LuLu Hypermarket now Lu&Lu Hypermarket

I heard they were forced to change due to a trademark issue with another place called LuLu. Awkward.

Thanks Rob

No a Chinese law firm will complain when/if they go after the Chinese hookers operating in their stores up and down the frozen food aisles.

From the sounds of it; the name is stand-offish. If they had to re-brand they could have at least come up with Lou & Lou (L&L) hypermarket.
Wonder if the Sultan Centre will ever think of having a Wallmart style hypermarket their own, somewhere far far away from the city centre?

maybe tsc will.

last i heard was that when the store in the boulevard opens then they will close salmiya store down. flatten it and rebuild.
if they build a car park below or above then might be ok.

but the killer for them will be the timing, as sod’s law states they’ll flatten their salmiya store about the time geant open in the basement of al-salam mall, just down the road.

time will tell what happens with all this, as building of al-salam is happening slower than expected , as is the boulevard development, tho at least they are putting the roads in the boulevard development now, whereas no one knows if the car park behind al-salam mall will still be standing after the mall is built.

What I heard was that , it was an altercation with a local brand called Lulu in Kuwait and it has been ongoing for some time now since Lulu (Hypermarket) came to Kuwait.

Long story short : –
Lulu (Brand) asked Lulu (Hypermarket) for huge compensation for using the name.
Lulu (Hypermarket) said no and we rather change the name.
And so Lu&Lu.

Actually most people , don’t notice that an “&” has come in between Lu Lu 😉

Actually LuLu were ready to offer good compensation but the local company demanded for some astronomical figure due to the support from other retail competitors.

Finally now the local company has his foot in his mouth, due to the name change he won’t get a single penny from LuLu.

You should’ve taken it dude.

I dont know who suggested this new name. Why cant they put new or EMKE in small letters before LULU??

Now its sounds like “Loo & Loo where the world comes to shop”. Awarked.

Could’ve renamed it LooLoo (or at least the bathroom accessories section) or maybe even LewLew.

However, the change is hardly noticeable and I guess people will still call it Lulu – which I guess is what they want.

Doesnt matter, people will still refer to it as “Lulu”…just rebranding costs for the “&” 🙂

Might attract more Chinese shoppers.

what does Lu&Lu actually mean then o.O ?

Dosent matter if they made it Lu&Lu, people will still call it Lulu, like the way taxi drivers still calls Crown Plaza Farwaniya as Holiday Inn

People will still call it LuLu.. its not like everybody knows who the real LuLu brand people are anyways.

I have also noticed that they added “center” above and below their main banners in Qurain Markets.

Now it reads “Lu&Lu Hypermarket center”

Not sure if the center was there from before but its my first time noticing it!
