I have been to a few Migros, and they all seem to be the same in layout and selections. This…read moreparticular store is large and in a nice easy location to get in and out of when needed. This is what I would compare to a Walmart with a selection of clothes, toys, shoes, food, and household items. You can find almost anything you need here.

My family and I ventured into this store to check it out while we were in the M1 Mall this past…read moreweekend. Wow...this is the Turkish version of America's Walmart Super Center! We started off by walking through the clothing and shoe section to see what type of quality and prices they offered. The prices were comparable to what I would be expected in Walmart, but no where to close to being as expensive as clothes/shoes in the name brand stores. Our next section was the toy and outdoor sections. I was somewhat surprised that they didn't offer more in the toy section. There were a few toys that were from the newer movies (Transformers, How to Train Your Dragon 2, etc) along with your normal toys...cars, Nerf guns, puzzles, animals, babies, and so forth. I was impressed with the 3 large baskets bins full of beach/pool toys for cheap. Looking quickly through the outdoor section they offered different sport balls and sets. Next up....the food/kitchen section...you name it they probably have it. You can pretty much buy your full grocery list anywhere from fruits, veggies, canned goods, cereal/pasta, and fresh/frozen meats. I can honestly say that I have never seen full kidneys, lungs, and other major organs for sale in a produce section of a local grocery store. The fruit and veggie section was huge, and I must admit that everything looked very healthy and nicely displayed. The frozen food section was one of the smaller sections, but I don't think Turkish cuisine is really includes frozen foods much. Last but not least...the drinks section. I was impressed with the amounts of options for waters, cokes, tea, etc in this section. Of course there was a nice section for the local beer Efes and it's varieties...but they also sold Miller Genuine Draft!!! In the soft drink section at the time Pepsi and Coca Colas was offering products (glasses, tins, trays) attached to their 2 liters. My main shock factor was the price of American alcohol there. Your average size bottle of Smirnoff Vodka was very expensive...close to double the price back home. That was the same with all of the American cocktails....Jim Beam, Smirnoff, Johnny Walker, etc. The other major sections were home furnishing and health, but I didn't check out those sections. I will try to go up and down a few isles next time to get a better review of everything. Overall I was very impressed with what they have to offer and the prices so I will definitely be coming back. They have a nice looking cafe and dessert section that I want to try on our next stop. The cakes looked amazing...yes, I took a picture. =)
