Let's say that there were times when fakta was far from my (budget) supermarket choice, but now those times have passed.
Although they claim to be budget, they do have lots of good items, also specialised items for people with special allergy (lactose-intolerant me), celiac disease and so on. Vegetables and fruit shelves are pretty decent and so is their dairy fridge.
Obviously their selection cannot be compared to the next door Kvickly, but I guess fakta has their own customers and so does Kvickly. I do rather go to Kvickly for certain items because they have more varied goods to offer but I go here too when fakta has special offer for their organic items (which they often do!)
Another reason that I like to go here is because they have long opening hours (8-22) while Kvickly is just until 20. It's very useful when I finish pilates class at 20.00 and I need to shop for food, then Fakta is the only one open. Both are owned by Coop chain, so I guess they don't really compete with each other. read more
