Just below the centre of the Arabba this mini market has the only cigarette vending machine in the…read morevillage which dispense when everywhere else is closed (they don't tend to sell cigarettes in bars etc.) Once inside an idiotic whistling marmot detects you presence and wolf whistles every time which could signify the start of an unpleasant experience in many places. The market is good though, not huge but it does have a bit of everything and a large selection of chocolate flavours. The deli counter here is worth buying from and they make great sandwiches which are good if heading out walking for the day. The sons of the owner run the place as well and they both speak really good English.

What do you need? They have it here. Do you need a topographic map of Antelao? Perhaps some good…read morechocolate or beer? Maybe just an espresso. It is all here. A fun place to shop.

The Everything Store of Cortina…read more Beer, wine, salmon, bow saws, and books. Anything one might need during a ski weekend can be found here. Great selection and prices on groceries.

I love grocery stores. This was a short walk from my hotel and another person on my tour who had…read morelived in Germany said it would be good. It was. I was able to get a phone charger since I forgot part of mine. I also got snacks and some gift cookies, etc. I had to go back twice to get apples since I couldn't figure out the scale system and got that disapproving look. But after asking my tour guide how, I went back and successfully bought them. Very nice store and the prices seemed good to me. They had some pre-made food and sushi as well although I did not try any of that.

Not a bad supermarket choice for Meran. This one seems relatively new and is well organized. There…read moreis pretty much everything food related in this shop. A couple of fresh meat / seafood & deli counters. The choice is pretty good and the prices are reasonable. They have a decent selection of wine and liquor as well. I went here a few times when we were holidaying in the area and found it quite ok.

This might have been a four-star grocery store. I mean, "yay! I'm a fan" and everything but there…read moreis nothing really special going on here. Don't get me wrong... there is absolutely nothing wrong with this mini-supermarket... but nothing is going to blow you away. Despar is a chain of supermarkets ... actually Despar is owned by the same people who own Eurospoar (medium-sized markets) and Interspar (genuine SUPER markets), if I have that right. If you are in need of a supermarket because you need bottled water and toothpaste and some snacks (I think they have a small deli in back, too), this is a good stop... It's hard to tell from the front and if you aren't familiar with the name/signage, you might walk right by without knowing that this is place to stop if you don't want to spend €75 on minibar candy in your hotel. I'm pretty sure this is a walking street only so don't expect to pull your car up and load with groceries.
