LuLu Hypermarket won the 2022 award following an in-depth and stringent assessment procedure that evaluated various criteria across several service dimensions. Among the dimensions examined by the index evaluators were quality and variety of the hypermarket’s product range, reliability and speed of service delivery, staff attitude, and convenience of location and value to price, as well as store hygiene, product availability and the usefulness and functionality of their online presence. In this year Lulu hypermarket has announced plans to open five more new outlets in Kuwait. These new projects are expected to provide customers with an enhanced shopping experience and access to a wider variety of products. The top scoring brands on overall customer satisfaction in each service category, which met the minimum vote requirements, were then awarded pole-position prizes. Launched in 2010, the Service Hero Awards are the only national index which awards prizes based solely on consumer feedback. The assessment is overseen by an independent advisory council.
