It's the big department store at the corner of Krasińskiego and Zwierzyniecka that was built in…read more1969 during the Soviet era. It's not the prettiest building ever. In fact, it kind of looks out of place compared to everything else in the area with its brutalist architecture. The entire building needs a face-lift, yet this store is popular because it's practical. My husband needed a personal handbag to carry his CPAP machine onboard the plane. There was no better place to go than Jubilat. It was conveniently located nearby, and just around the corner from our hotel. There is a grocery store on the ground floor with a deli and bakery. There were all kinds of Polish goods available. We were directed to the upper floors by a security guard when asking where we could find luggage. We ended up on the 3rd floor. There were many types of bags including backpacks. He found what he needed. It was a quick & affordable purchase. The actual store is very old school and traditional. It really does feel like you're stepping back into a different time period. Despite all of that, it was a cool experience.

They sell new products, but the architecture of the building reminds about it's legacy. It has four floors, there is a food supermarket and an alcohol store on the ground floor. On the rest of the floor various things are in stock - clothes, furniture, electronics - you name it. It's located 5 minutes form the town centre and has a very small shared parking. It is also very expensive and has poor cutomer service, due to the fact that the management doesn't seem to understand the importance of it. There are also conference facilities and a gentlemens club at the top floors. The best thing is that the ground floor supermarket is open 24h.

Biedronka rocks my socks, my shoes and the ground I step on!…read more For those of you unfamiliar with this Polish chain of grocery stores, it's also a haven of funky STUFF (everything from teapots, floor mats and sewing kits to baseball bats and pajamas!) that is only available for a limited time until they run out, so if you find something you like, don't wait for the next time you come to get it! (in some respects I guess you can compare it to Lidl) I also love their yummy straight-out-of-the-oven wholemeal bread, this particular brand of greek yoghurt they have and the surimi, no to to mention the cheap alcohol. I may be overreacting now, but doing my grocery shopping here gives me heaps of happiness. I leave with a smile on my face from the bargains I've made100% of the time with my hands full of Biedronka-bags and wallet full of zlotys that I'll spend on something else. *winning at life*

It reminded me of an Aldi, meaning they have pretty much everything you need but no frills. There's a good sized produce area and a butcher/ meat counter plus plenty of pre packed stuff. Prices are very reasonable! I found 1.5L bottles of mineral water for US .16 (that's right, sixteen cents) and decent bottles of wine for under US $6. Half liter beer cans were in the .35-.75 US range. Much to our delight, this Biedronka stocks several kinds of paprika chips so we had delicious snacks as well. Staff isn't especially friendly but I wouldn't expect them to be.
