If you live in or near a city that has a "arcaden" mall, then you're basically forced to go there…read more Why? Because these huge places just kill the local mom&pop stores by relocating the main shopping mile indoors, with AC & WiFi. Sure, larger cities can survive the process of having their many shopping mile relocated, but smaller ones? Not really. The assortment of stores is pretty much the same in every location, they have their mix of brands & food chains without anything really appealing. Good if you're a fan of malls, bad if you like choice or local flavour. On a plus side, they just made the place dog friendly, by adding water & food bowls in the basement - which i've never seen with food or water in them. Way to go!

Basics - Cheap - Love it!…read more Although this shop is perfect in its location, with the big mall across the road and plenty of fancy shops to the right, this place is usually 'overlooked' by most shoppers in Erlangen, as it doesn't sell any of the trendy brands. But being a person who prefers quality over brand name, and cheap prices over ridiculously expensive trash, I love this shop! You get all the basics you could ever need, from trousers and shirts to sweaters and jackets, all at ridiculously low prices. I still own sweatshirts that I bought the day this shop opened, and they look almost brand new, while my more expensive clothes often end up in the bin after mere five months. Bottom line: * All the basic clothes you might need * Great quality * Cheap prices * Perfect location!
