Emporia is one of the biggest malls in Scandinavia. Hard to believe they've been open about 7…read moreyears since 2012. Located in Hyllie, access is easy as the mall is right next to the train station. You have 3 levels with a deck on the upper level with some nice views. An abundant variety of retail stores/services (about 220) with a couple of grocery stores (ICA & Willys) and Systembolaget (liquor store). The food court & restaurants are ok with a good variety including Vapiano to Jensen's Bofhus, Joe & the Juice, Thai, Vietnamese, Burgers, sushi and cafes. They have a parking garage as well a roof garden. Decorations are quite nice during the holidays with a huge tree. Currently working on expanding even further. Shop til you drop!

One warning: Don't go to Emporia on the first day of sales season…read more Otherwise, this place is pretty decent shopping mall and far more interesting than Fields, that once bragged the biggest mall in Scandinavia. Emporia has plenty of shops, some of them have their duplicates in Denmark, some don't and those are my favourite - since I have to cross the bridge all the way from Denmark to Sweden to visit this place, so I won't be visiting TGR (Why do they abbreviate Tiger?) or Illums Bolighus for that matter. Mostly I visit Emporia for three reasons: L'occitane (somehow, this is the only place where I found the 500ml shampoo bottle/refill), hardware shop Clas Ohlson (this shop is just freaking awesome, and of course a shop this awesome can't be found anywhere in Copenhagen *thumbs down*) and ICA supermarket (why are Danish supermarkets such downer compared to ICA?) You better make your trip worth it and we always do and go back to our residential land with loads of heavy shopping bags that make our hands hurt. Maximize your shopping, that is!

I am not into department store, but I think this one is rather ok when it comes to what they offer…read more On the front they have cosmetic section that carry the usual brands as you know it, a bit further back they have MUJI section, Japanese brand that is IKEA-ish (I haven't seen MUJI anywhere else in Scandinavia, so if you're a fan, this is probably your best bet to find it) and further back you can find interior and kitchen stuff. On the upper floor is the usual clothing section. I like to hang out much on the interior and kitchen section. The price is somewhat OK but it's the selection that counts.

What can I say? I am a huge fan of this shop…read more The concept is similar to Clas Ohlson anywhere, but this shop in Triangeln is slightly smaller than the one in Emporia, obviously because the lack of space. You could find pretty much anything at this shop, from baking form to bicycle lights - from ice cream machine to electric saw. Fantastic, isn't it? One stop shop for pretty much everything. The service was friendly as always. There was actually a shop attendant on the entrance greeting everyone with "heisann.... do you need anything?" Fantastic. For someone like me who got lost in home improvement tools jungle, I could always use a help!

In Jersey, you tell a shoe sales person. You can't spend more than $280, they upsell you to $350. But in Denmark, my Angel-faced empathy salesperson found shoes on sale for $100 and they were worth more. I would have kissed her on the nose I was so happy but I bet there are laws against that ! If not, tell me and I'll go back to bestow the tiny gift! Magasin has always been incredible. Simple answer? Danish. Go!

It's coop, it's extra!…read more It's bigger on the inside! No, I kid you not - it's true. I was skeptical when I first went to this supermarket since it looks so shabby and without hardly any windows on the outside, but once you get in, you realise that it's one of those big supermarkets that are pretty much sell everything that you need. Vegetables, organic vegetables (ekologiska, obviously), fish, tons of fish, cheese, butter, meat, gluten free and lactose free products (since we're talking about Sweden) and other household stuff. They have also aisles for imported products - I saw a lot of obscure products in Slavic languages, Reeses peanut butter chocolates and Guiness chips and some fancy microwave popcorn. They have also pretty decent aisle full of Asian stuff, including bambooshoots in cans - that pretty much exist only in Asian shops in Copenhagen. They have good brand of coconut milk (not just the weird Santa Maria or whatever it is called now), rice noodles, egg noodles and pakchoy on the vegetable rack. Ah Sweden, you're the best when it comes to supermarket. Danish ones can't really beat it, not even big warehouse-like one like Bilka. The location is pretty convenient as well, just across Värnhem, sort of smaller bus station where you do your switches if you are not lucky enough to ride buses without change from/to home/work. This has quickly become my supermarket-to-go during my stay in Malmö.

Woahhh! ICA Maxi has some serious competition. Like them, this place has everything from exotic…read moreproduce to cheeses A-Z to a huge lactose-free section. Next to the latter is a whole refrigerated case of Astrid och aporna products as well as a variety of vegan cheeses and spreads. Really impressive selection all around. I am also surprised by how much stuff they have for pets. Of course with all Swedish supermarkets, the alcohol department is lacking. The price is in line with ICA, maybe some things are a little more expensive, but Coop seems to have more variety.

Terrible customer service and deceptive practices--…read more I ordered a pair of shoes and paid a high shipping fee. About a week later, DHL contacted me saying I owed a large amount in import duties before they would deliver the package. When I reached out to the company, they basically said it wasn't their problem and pointed to their terms and conditions -- where, buried in fine print, they claim they're not responsible for such fees. Most reputable companies either include import duties in the price or clearly disclose them before checkout. Instead, this company hides that information deep in the fine print, knowing that most customers would think twice before buying if the true cost were clear upfront. It is incredibly misleading. Thankfully, my credit card company immediately recognized the issue and refunded me in full.
