'Kuwait Says Thank You!', a national campaign that recognises prominent Kuwaiti entrepreneurs who have played an integral role in the community and in supporting national agendas, has honoured Mohammed Alshaya, Executive Chairman of M.H.Alshaya Co. Citing Mr Alshaya's role as Executive Chairman of Alshaya, the campaign recognised his innovative leadership, describing him as one of Kuwait's top businessmen and creative leaders, and thanking him for his contribution to Kuwait.

In a statement issued to the press, the 'Kuwait Says Thank You!' campaign stated: "The most prominent recent achievement of Alshaya has been its record-breaking success at The Avenues. This iconic shopping mall has become Kuwait's number one shopping destination offering a uniquely wide variety of shopping and entertainment establishments". The campaign also referenced the innovative design of The Avenues, referring to international recognition in the International Property Awards of Mabanee Company, the developer of the mall, of which Mohammed Alshaya is Chairman.
