Onze opvallende etalage belooft wat: een winkel vol bijzondere kleertjes, knuffels en speelgoed, boeken en heel veel hebbedingen voor kinderen van nul tot acht. We verkopen goede, hippe merken (o.a. Molo, Wild, Le Petit Bateau en Imps & Elfs) en onze lieve medewerkers zijn experts qua maten, materialen en wat je verder maar wilt vragen over onze spullen.

I did not expect to find such a gem of a store while overseas. Hema is the Netherlands version of a…read moreTarget or Walmart in the U.S. They sell everything from clothing, to housewares, to school supplies all under one roof. I did not find any larger electronics (i.e. Flat screens, etc) only smaller appliances such as an iron. This store is tri-level and comfortably large. By comfortably I mean one will not get lost. The cleanliness of the store is what is most impressive. There was a level of organization that I have not seen in U.S. chain stores. This could be because I was there when the doors opened, but I asked some of the locals, and word is the store is well kept. At any rate, Hema will remain on my list of go-to stores will on study abroad.

There are three levels. You enter on the ground floor (duh) and go down for men and up for accessories. Since the store seems pretty new, it is also pretty clean. I didn't purchase anything this time but there was a decent Harry Potter collection and dedicated sections for pajamas, bags and underwear, as usual. It is definitely a medium-sized Primark (I've seen both bigger and smaller, for example, the Amsterdam store is much bigger) and it is conveniently located centrally in Groningen.

Rude, unhelpful staff. (Although we did go near to closing…read moretime) Once she found out we were "just looking" she was totally not interested in helping us. They have a pretty good selection, better than all the stores on to the high-street.
