I rarely review grocery stores but the staff at the cheese and butcher shop were accommodating. I ordered truffle salami, a swiss type proscuttio, habanero salami and some other yummy stuff. Well worth a walk! They speak basic English.

As you enter the mall from the river-side, you'll be introduced to some eateries--Turkish döner place, bakery, German fast food, etc. Besides these eatries, there are more restaurants as you go out of the main covered shopping center section. I noticed a Chinese buffet place and a Japanese restaurant in my view. As for shopping, you can expect to find almost all what you want--clothiers, accessories, kitchen store, electronics shop, super market, etc. It's basically a one-stop shopping center which makes it very convenient. We didn't use it, but there's an underground parking lot for your convenience.

A nice very clean mall! Great selection of stores and restaurants. Parking is easily accessible…read more Some outdoor and indoor access to stores. Very close to access the downtown shopping area with a short walk across the sky bridge.

It's a German version of an American Super Walmart-like grocery/department store (in fact I believe…read morethe term that's used is hypermarket) with large sections of grocery, casual clothing, home supplies and small appliances, and small auto supplies--name-it-and-they-have-it sort of supermarket. Of course, the biggest difference here is there's no sale of firearms nor ammunitions. There are a several independent specialty shops lined up within the building from the entrance/exit doors to cashier's lanes such as butcher/meat & sausages, salad and olives shop, café and such. In fact, you can have some snacks before you start shopping or even after you're done to go...or even as you wait for someone to finish shopping?! Prices seemed to be very reasonable for what you get (at least I felt that way in the food section). There were quite bit of seasonal holiday dessert/gift items (photo) at the time of our visit. Produce section looked very decent, though I wasn't too sure about the price. Bakery section offers very wide variety of freshly baked items as well as factory produced ones (especially gluten free items) . Freezer section may be a little smaller than what you might expect. Of course, they sell lots of variety of beer in front of cashier lanes. The most popular things to do is to buy by a case of 15 bottles. Here, you will pay for deposit for bottles when you buy, and you'll receive credit ticket when you return them at the automated recycle machine before you enter the store. If you looked through the store from end to end, I bet it'll take a few hours to complete it. I'm a type of shopper who usually goes to pick up exact items I need, but even then I'm tempted to look at everything they have for my curiosity takes over. I'm sure novelty will wear off after a while...
