I heard this rumor back in the spring. I asked the manager of the Megamart at the center--his reply was that Landmark was trying to force them out of the mall in favor of carrefour, but that they were fighting it out in court. He said they had a 60% chance of winning the case. He also said that they had 3 plots of land they were going to build new megmarts on, in case they lost the lawsuit. One was in Al rayyan, one near Landmark and one near to Decoration RAB. He made it sound like they were going to build all 3. Only time will tell. Megamart is by far my favorite grocery store in Qatar (been here 4 years) It has the most American products, with Q-mart second followed by Family Food Center. You'd have to put a gun to my head to have me go to LuLu's, Dasman Center or Carrefours. I like shopping where the people are civil. Besides there is not much in this country to spend your money on-- I'll gladly pay $9 for a box of Lucky Charms and have my children be happy and feel at home.
