A good department store, a wide range: I bought stationery and cosmetics - I was satisfied, I also like the choice of Mattioli women's bags in the haberdashery section!
I ate many times in the canteen on the 4th floor, the food is delicious, but I didn't like the soups.. The canteen is closed on Sunday, and on Saturday it happens that they give yesterday's food, so it's better to come here for lunch on weekdays.
By the way, food prices, if you eat every day, are not super cheap, on average: mini salads 2-4 r, soups about 4p, meat 7-8, vegetables 3-5p, casserole 4.7r, side dishes 1-3p, desserts and pastries 1-5 r.
With regard to the interior: in comparison with the GUM of five years ago, the changes are already significant. The first floor has been renovated and now it looks very decent - like in a modern shopping center. It is planned to renovate all floors and improve the range of women's clothing by 2026. Still, to finalize it from the outside - and there will be a candy)
We visit this store every time we arrive in Minsk. Yes, of course you can go to shopping malls, and find something cheaper somewhere. But here I like that you can buy everything in one place. And locally produced.
Excellent tablecloths with moisture impregnation. Towels in the kitchen, every time you want to buy something.
This time I bought bed linen, let's see.
We buy T-shirts, socks, and underpants for children.
Unfortunately, I was in the women's department only once and then I was not impressed by the models, but I hope next time I will be able to walk around and see.
Dishes from local factories.
This time we bought a beautiful leather bag with a discount, also made in Belarus.
About the staff. There are very friendly people who will help, tell you, advise you something. And there are those who are sullen, tired, and dissatisfied... In general, as everywhere else. But this does not spoil the attractiveness of that place for me personally.
And each time it is decorated differently.
There are photo zones between the first and second floors.
Good staff, a very large selection of goods, there are different Belarusian and also imports , discounts and promotions are available , the location is in the city center, there are also 2 elevators, now you can easily climb in a stroller with a child. I also want to note that now there is more choice in the grocery department, you can safely come and take everything you need, there are basic products and even more. There is also a beautiful cafe on the 1st floor, you can order dessert, take a cup of hot drink and admire the city center
