Closed: Topshop Flagship
Evidently Topshop Flagship has been shut down, with H&M slated to take its place. Topshop Flagship is the one next to CentrePoint and Starbucks, located across from Fanar Mall. Why is H&M taking over Kuwait? Isn’t it enough that there is a huge H&M store down the street in Marina and four H&Ms in the Avenues Mall?
Topshop had a prime location and great space to showcase all of their collections. It was the perfect place for a peaceful shopping trip. Now I’ll have to sate my appetite for Topshop by driving all the way to Avenues Mall or settle for a smaller selection of the collection at Sharq Mall.
I’m not a fan of H&M because I believe their products are of inferior quality compared to the rest of the products in the marketplace. I believe Topshop designs and quality far surpass those of H&M. So why this switch? Are they milking the H&M craze for all it’s got while it’s still hot in Kuwait? Whatever the reason I’m still sad that they shut down one of my favorite shopping locales. Goodbye Topshop! My visa and I are going to miss you!

I love the TOP SHOP!
I actually shop there (and the Oasis) for my work clothes! I loved that Salmiya Location!
H&M is really taking over Kuwait :-S

Ansam, first of all welcome to the blog and thank you for your comment. I loved it too. I always found something I liked there.
Yara
Mackay No problem!
Happy Wolf what is a failed Al Shaya venture in comparison to all the successes? I truly think Topshop is in a different class than the stores you mentioned. I wouldn’t mind if they shut down H&M
I’m not a fan.

It’s located in Debenhams and only a small section which is why I prefered the flagship store.
