Krestovskii Supermarket, Moscow

Many visitors unfortunately still expect to come to Moscow and expect to find food-stores in which queues combine with bad stock keeping to terrible effect. Fortunately this is nothing like the truth, and while many drab Soviet-style shops still remain, there are also well-stocked and colorful places like this one. There are three levels. On the ground level you'll find produce, dairy, seafood and wine departments. The middle floor features bakery, tea and coffee, cosmetics, newspapers and magazines, pharmacy and flower sections. The third floor presents a wide choice of women, men's and children's clothes. The vast majority of all goods are imports.
