Manama: The Organising Committee of ‘Shop Bahrain’, the largest event in the Kingdom, has called upon entrepreneurs and owners of SMEs to join the ‘VIVA Shop & Skate’ market. The call comes after organisers extended the dates of the market.
“In response to the popularity of the event, we have decided to open the market on weekdays as well. The original plan was to host the market only on the weekends. However we have noticed an outpour of people flocking in on weekdays so we made the decision to keep the market open throughout the festival,†said Shop Bahrain Project Director, Nawaf Al Koheji.
“The main aim of ‘VIVA Shop & Skate’ is to provide the entire family with a unique fun-filled experience where they can enjoy skating and shopping in the open air,†he added that, “It provides the perfect opportunity for entrepreneurs and businesses to showcase their products. The registration process is made easy for vendors who are interested in registering their businesses in the market as they can fill in the form which is available on ‘Shop Bahrain’ official website.â€
