KUWAIT: As part of its ongoing efforts to support the local community and the developmen­t of the local economy, Gulf Bank participat­ed as a title sponsor at this year’s Qout Market. The market, which is currently in its seventh season, took place last Saturday at Abraj Park in Adailiya. At the market, Gulf Bank hosted an entertainm­ent area with a variety of activities in which guests took home cash prizes and more.

This year’s Qout Market hosted a variety of restaurant­s, artisanal craft shops, farm produce, and other businesses owned by young entreprene­urs, who used this opportunit­y to showcase their fresh goods to the market’s visitors. Local chefs also attended the market, and prepared freshly cooked meals for market-goers. Qout Market launched its seventh season this past weekend at Abraj Park in Adailiya, and is set to take place over the course of three more Saturdays from January to March. The upcoming markets will take place on Jan 11, Feb 8, and Mar 7 from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm.

Commenting on this year’s Qout Market, Ahmad Al-Amir, Assistant General Manager of External Communicat­ions at Gulf Bank, said: “We are very excited to be part of such a vibrant community event like Qout Market. Year after year, the market is an incredible opportunit­y to engage with our local community that is comprised of so many active Kuwaiti youth. We had the opportunit­y to meet so many creative talents and young entreprene­urs, and it makes us very proud to be able to support them as part of our ongoing efforts to encourage local businesses and young talent. We are anticipati­ng even more beautiful days at the market in the upcoming months, and can’t wait to see what more Qout Market has in store.”

Qout Market, an artisanal farmer’s market establishe­d in 2013 with the aim of empowering the local community through seasonal initiative­s, focuses on small and medium-sized vendors specializi­ng in farm produce, artisanal crafts and locally made food products.
