Tell us about...your local discount stores!

[LivingInThePast 364]

This thread is about telling people about your local discount stores. Want to complain about how filthy the local Wal-Mart is? Want to talk about something else? This is it! European hypermarkets are included (but not grocery stores)

Anyway, here in College Station, Texas, we have a large Walmart (Supercenter) that renovated out of a previous Wal-Mart. Unfortunately, because it was renovated during the time Walmart cut back on the SKUs, there's not actually a lot of stuff within the store. It has a Subway (and not a McDonald's)

There's also a Target that's a bit small and dated (has a frozen food section, but not a whole lot else) as well.

There was a Kmart until 1994 and a FedMart in the 1970s, but those are both long gone now.

What about you?

Here in Catalonia (Europe), most of the big supermarkets are integrated in the buildings (specially in big cities like Barcelona).

This one is one where I used to shop when I was living in Bcn. It's called ''Bon Preu'' and means Good Price.

connivance store.

I guess my local store is Continente Telheiras, in Northern Lisbon, Portugal. It was originally built as a Carrefour Shopping Mall but when Carrefour closed it's stores in Portugal (2009), Continente bought all the stores that used to belong to them. It is a large mall, with a very organized Continente franchise and some other known franchises (Toys R'Us, McDonalds...). It has some portuguese franchises included (Worten, Companhia das Sandres...) but most of the mall is composed by small stores all of them offering something cheap and good. It is not even compared to the Colombo mall, 2km north of it, especially in what comes to size and utility (cinema, bowling, fnac, music stores, game stores, sports stores...), but it is much safer and nicer to walk (it is also surpassed by Colombo in accesibility, because Colombo has a metro station and a bus terminal in the ground floor)

There is another store, much smaller but much cheaper located near Alameda, Lisbon, in one of Lisbon's finest avenues (Avenida Guerra Junqueiro). It is located in the ground floor of a 1950's building. It is a minipreço, a cheap supermarket company made for Portugal by spanish company Dia. In portuguese these words mean small price (just for a comparison with bonpreu)
