This country shuts down, literally, during the holidays and we were in a mad dash to locate shampoo and body soap. While they did carry staples such as toothpaste and toothbrushes, there was no shampoo.
Despite that, it was interesting to note the differences in the stores here in the US and stores abroad. This shop also offered shots of juice that resembled wheat grass, energy infusions from juice blends, and healthier alternatives. I also became addicted to the Vitamin Well water fortified with vitamin C and E in order to stave off any possible colds during my travels. The store interior also reflects Scandinavian simplicity and design: clean, clear advertising, and maneuverability within packed into a small space.
While prices here were relatively the cheapest compared to other shops, the staff persons were understanding that I spoke no English and were able to assist me with my requests and purchases with no issue.
Second, they were open on Christmas Day when really nothing was, so it helped us when we were looking for a snack after exploring Nyhavn.
