Where to begin?? After being in Europe for nearly two weeks and utilizing smaller style…read moregrocery/market places, it was almost overwhelming to wander this massive venue. We were specifically looking to get some French butter and chocolate before leaving the country. They will vacuum seal the butter for 1 euro/bag. Highly recommend.

Now that I'm home, I really wish I bought moreeeeeeeeee! They're located next to a park with a fountain and huge gazebo. I bought some snacks and beer here and enjoyed them under some shade at the park. I also found Cote D'or chocolates to bring back as souvenirs.

I love visiting markets when travel. It gives me a glimpse of local culture. I suppose that a…read moremarket in a touristy area is really only that, a glimpse, because some of the shelves are loaded with touristy gifts. On that note, you can get regular, national brand chocolates here if you don't want to buy the fancy, hand-crafted, small-batch, mom-and-pop, high-end, 100-variety chocolates from the stores that cover the town. The store was clean and had a big variety of stuff for the traveler: water, juice, ready-to-go sandwiches, fruits. I visited a few times to get water for our treks.

This Jumbo is probably the best supermarket in Breda. It's big, it's well stocked, and it's open…read morelate. Yes, it's a bit out if the way, but there is plenty of parking outside, even during the busy times of day. The store itself is large, with a good sized vegetable section, a broadly stocked bakery, a huge cheese counter, and a variety of fresh world food concessions; Italian, Chinese, Japanese and salads. Nestled on the back wall is a liquor area with a good selection of Rums, Vodkas and Whiskies. There's only one issue I have with the store is that the store isn't terrifically laid out, it can be quite hard to navigate and find things. A better store map on site would be appreciated, but in the meantime grab the Jumbo app to have access to a searchable map (dutch only).

I stopped by here heading from Schipol Airport (to Belgium) in order to pick up some Indonesian…read morefood (great Indo food in the NL) and as many different kinds of beers that I could find (addicted to a beer app!) to bring home with me. As supermarkets go, this isn't the biggest that I have ever been to but its quite a nice size and there was a pretty good selection of different stuff. Of course there was lots of cheese, so I bought some Gouda, Edam and a couple others. The beer worked out well - got lots of Dutch beers and also some German ones. They had a great selection of Belgian beers too but hey, I live in Belgium. I noticed lots of fresh produce and even more Asian food, already cooked/warmed and obviously ready to eat. (The stuff I got was to heat when I got home.) I have never heard of Jumbo before but I know it now and will shop here again next time north of the border. Oh, the place is right next to NAC Breda stadium, so do some shopping and catch a game!!
