Al-Huwail emphasized in a statement to Al-Jarida on the sidelines of the opening, her serious commitment to consolidating all essential cooperative services provided to citizens and residents “under one roof,” aiming to ensure consumer comfort and diversify the services offered. She revealed that the initiative would be extended to all cooperatives in the coming period.
She stressed the importance of cooperative societies continuing to develop their services and facilities, and striving to enhance performance levels and service quality, reflecting their vital role in meeting societal needs and supplying essential goods in an organized and appropriate manner. She also highlighted the necessity of keeping pace with developments in display and merchandising methods, which would help strengthen consumer trust in the cooperatives.
Al-Huwail praised this step, which would ensure the continued provision of essential services to consumers, including shareholders and visitors of the cooperative, with a modern touch that keeps up with current developments and meets desired needs according to taste. She expressed her appreciation for the cooperative’s management, noting the high standards of cleanliness, order, and internal organization, as well as the manner in which goods were displayed.
For his part, Dr. Sayed Issa, Acting Assistant Undersecretary for Financial and Administrative Affairs and Cooperative Affairs, and Director General of the General Administration of Planning and Administrative Development at the Ministry of Social Affairs and Labor, said that the initiative would be expanded to include the development of all “tannour” bakeries across various cooperative societies. This would offer a variety of products, such as whole wheat bread, gluten-free and sugar-free options, as well as other fillings, thereby enhancing the nature of services provided to shareholders.
Issa confirmed to Al-Jarida that the Ministry was keen on fixing the price of “tannour” bread at 20 fils per loaf. He noted that the “tannour” bakery is part of Kuwait’s heritage, and therefore they were keen on developing it in a modern way that caters to all tastes, whether located inside or outside the cooperative’s central market.
