For those of us who grew up in Kuwait, Virgin Megastore was the hangout space. We would spend hours perusing the aisles for incredible books, CDs, gadgets and so much more. When their doors closed down, it was the end of an era. But those sad days are over, because Virgin Megastore has reopened its doors in Kuwait’s landmark destination of The Avenues.
While the opening was interrupted by lockdown back in Feb, we’re doing a happy dance because now that things are back to normal (almost, we’re getting there!) we’ve visited the store so many times to relive the glory days, and to discover Virgin Megastore’s latest and greatest.
Without a doubt, Virgin Megastore is still our favorite entertainment and lifestyle destination, and they’ve added so much more to the store. There’s something for everyone here, from gadgets galore to home amenities that you simply won’t find anywhere else, and all under one roof.
Stationery lovers will spend hours mulling over which notebook to choose, and we especially fell in love with the kitchen section, complete with all of the latest gear from Joseph. We also really appreciated the Gentlemen’s Hardware brand selection of amazing BBQ tools like the burger press, perfect for this season’s outdoor gatherings.
If you’re hunting for a gift for your loved ones, we’re pretty sure that you’ll find what you’re looking for here. Now that we are also spending more time at home, the vast selection of board games, toys, and puzzles is perfect for family night.
The store design is iconic, featuring Virgin Megastore’s new urban industrial look that beautifully brings in exposed wood, concrete and metal finishes all tied together in a 700 m2 area where customers can enjoy a fun and relaxing 180° shopping experience. All you have to do is let your eyes guide you, glance over at the music section and you will find amazing retro-inspired music players by MJI and turntables from ION and Crosley.
A stroll over to the electronics section will have everything you need from laptops to the latest tech accessories. Virgin Megastore is the IT lifestyle destination, as the space is split into different sections allowing featuring a wide range of products from multimedia gadgets, the hottest gaming gear, best-selling books and music, as well as trendy fashion items and novelties.
Virgin Megastore also launched a range of services and their Circle loyalty program has great exclusive rewards and offers. You can register in store, or wherever you are by simply downloading the Virgin Megastore Circle app to start collecting loyalty dots by shopping in store or online.
Upon joining, you instantly get a welcome gift in the form of double dots on your very first transaction. This sets you up to collect more dots to redeem more gifts down the line.
The Virgin Megastore Circle loyalty program also gives you early access to product releases, as well as more discounts and promotions to boost your loyalty dots. Music lovers will get one free album for every 10 CDs/Vinyls purchased, and bookworms also get the same offer upon purchasing 10 books. We’re all about a loyalty program that motivates us to grow our hobbies, and we actually signed up for the Circle app in store while stocking up on some novelty mugs for the office.
It’s been a while since you’ve had a little fun while shopping, right? Head on down to Virgin Megastore and re-ignite your passion for the little things that bring a smile to your face. We promise, you won’t regret it.
Virgin Megastore is located at Phase 2 in The Avenues. For more information, check out @VirginMegastoreMe on social media. Shop online at circle.virginmegastore.com.kw!
