Have you personally been there shopping in DOHA?

I was told by a member of Al-Futtaim who is developing Doha Festival City, and he stated " we are still in the process of hiring staff, and will open to the public in Nov. end of quarter 2012." hummmmmm ????

I am looking forward to it opening, but I would not go for alteast 6 months after so the staff has had time to be trained and deal with errors that happen whenever a new store etc opens. Get the bugs out of the system etc..

I remember being part of several businesses having to work the opening of new business, we would open in a soft opening for 3 months, then announce to the Public a "GRAND" opening in the 4th month, to be sure everything is going smoothly.

Salam
