Chili's Seaside gets a Reprieve

UPDATE: I was told the take over by the giant has been protested and the change has been put on hold for now until things are sorted out. Of course I can't write details because the giant has a habit of threatening me and with the cyber criminal crap going on one can't divulge opinions and details. The take over included the restaurant in the Kuwait Towers as well totaling around 20 restaurants. Ruby Tuesday was not included as the giant didn't like that place.

Looks like Chili's will not be closing, the ministry as sort of saved it I guess? Maybe it was due to all of the news and posts about the closing and how there are so many memories there for people who have lived here a long time?

It's cool but in the event it does close down again will they go through the same scenario as before? I feel like it's kind of like the boy who cried wolf, will they get the same reaction again?

Thanks for the 25% off though, it was a sweet deal.

I talked to one of the staff from Johnny Carino's and they said they will close down as well but they don't have a exact date so there's more to come this month, stay tuned....

Acura NSX has arrived to Kuwait

I saw this on the 40 highway today, probably headed to the showroom, what a beautiful car!

Chili's seaside and other restaurants closing down after 20 Years

Starting today there will be 25% off your meal at Chili's until the 30th due to the closing of this restaurant which is the first location in Kuwait 20 years ago. This was one of the first restaurants I visited back in 2003 when there were very few places to choose from. Every weekend we would drive from Fintas to Salmiya to have dinner. So many memories at this location and I'm sad to see it go.

It's not the only restaurant to close, starting from Chili's all the way down to Johnny Carino's which consists of Appleebees, Le Notre, Burj Al Hamam, the Indian restaurant and Johnny Carino's will be taken over by Al Shaya. Le Notre is said to become a Starbucks and the Chili's will become a possible Pinkberry. The 20 year lease for these establishments is up and guess who won the bid.....drum roll.....Al Shaya of course.

For the people who have been here a long time say goodbye to the original restaurants and hello to modern times. Unfortunately this is the fate of Kuwait, not only original locations but most of the old houses and local history have been erased due to the race for modern structures. All though all of these things have been removed and new buildings, malls and restaurants have been built I don't see any tourism!
