Long road-trips, snarling traffic jams and the harsh summer of Kuwait can stress your car's engine - and your wallet. As motorists continue to cope with the growing traffic this summer, there is a new nationwide service in Kuwait that promises welcome relief.
In a joint press statement, Mr. Khalid Al-Muraikhi, Deputy Managing Director of Al Mulla Group and Mr. Adel Mohammad Al-Ghannam, Board Member of KAPICO Group announced the formation of Khidma, the country's first nationwide chain of quick service stations, committed to giving motorists a smoother driving experience.
"Life today is hectic, with tremendous demand on our time. With Khidma stations in prominent residential areas, commercial areas and highways the Kuwaiti motorist will no longer have to spend 60 minutes in crowded Shuwaikh, when 20 minutes at any Khidma station will deliver a better experience. When the convenience of a location near you is combined with quality products and expert service, consumers can run vehicles at the highest level of quality without denting their wallets." said Mr. Adel Mohammad Al-Ghannam. Mr. Khalid Al-Muriakhi, Deputy Managing Director of the Al Mulla Group, stressed on the importance of convenience in today's fast paced life, "The KAPICO Group and the Al-Mulla Group share a unique automotive heritage and have a history of successful partnerships. We have tapped into our combined strengths in the automotive industry to create Khidma's proposition of convenience, quality and value. Khidma's conveniently located drive-through service bays at 32 OULA fuel stations, a team of expert technicians, world's best brands of quality spare parts and lubricants, and stores that open from 7am to 9pm on all seven days of the week are all key differentiators that will attract the Kuwaiti consumer."
The partners are working towards expanding the Khidma network in Kuwait to usher in a new era of convenience retailing.
