The Call

I did it! I called Dar Al-Sharg people :-) It was all with good intentions! I swear...

Since we, at fIVE60, were getting many inquiries about Dar Al-Sharg.. if they were part of us, or another branch... or why do we have the same "exact" idea... I decided to give them a call and see whats its all about.

I called the number listed on their group and got to talk to this very nice young man. Apparently, they have been getting similar questions as well!

It started off this way...

He told me that they share the same concept and that its not so unusual for two businesses with the same concept to be similar somehow. I explained to him that it was not just similar.... it was mirrored!! ALMOST exactly the same info and intro! I also offered to sit with them (my team and theirs) and find a common ground where people wont confuse the two ideas.

I also told him the market is open for everyone to come up with whatever they can offer... And that we knew, when we started that new idea/concept in Kuwait, a lot of similar businesses will surface, but stealing an identity will just hurt their image, and copy/paste is just a bad start... and that they should do something with the English used and all.

He was all ears and very easy to speak to. He also offered to help in anyway possible... which I find really cool! He said they are working on changing it already. So lets see how it goes from here!

I hope they change their last line -the "We are on TOP" or so- (check the pic in my previous post) not because its gonna affect us at FIVE60... but because its just a bad defense mechanism!

Dar Al-Sharg "Changed" Their Basic Info!

One of my friends told me to check Dar Al-Sharg group edited info on facebook. I guess they did change it "a bit"!!!! What do you think? Are they any different from FIVE60 now?!

Potayto... Potaatoo

We all know that ALBATREEK just flipped the "M" in McDonalds in their logo.

We are aware of the fact that Kanafani came "before" Kanafji... right?

You get my point? No?

Did you see anything "unusual" in the two pictures above?

Let me elaborate!!

Funny how two groups on facebook share "almost exactly" the same "Basic Info"!

How some people are just too lazy to even take a minute to hide the fact that they're copying someone else's work...

And "coincidentally" using the same logo colors ... COME ON!!!!!

If Dar Al Sharg group needed "help" in writing something in English.... FIVE60 group would not have even hesitated in helping them out!

Stealing a concept is one thing, we see it everyday... but stealing an identity is a disgrace!
