If you're looking for some kind of body care product they probably have it here so if you can't find what you're looking for elsewhere check this place out. It's right on Leidsestraat so while you're looking for it make sure you don't get run over by the tram like I almost did lol. Oh and did I say they also fill prescriptions?

We were going to board the tram when my friend decided that this would be a good stop. And since we…read morewere already here, I decided that I needed a new toothpaste and a nail clipper.

This is a large store near Leidseplein. I've shopped here for over 7 years, since it's near the Marriott and now not too far from my home. There are a lot of these Etos stores in the Netherlands, but they aren't all equal. This is very large and lots of space. Staff was friendly and there are two self-checkout kiosks. They had everything I Was looking for today and I even bought new slippers for the winter!

Kruidvat provides access to beauty supplies, health and wellness, a small selection of over the counter medicines, cleaning products and other miscellaneous items.

A sizable, well appointed store on the cusp of the tourist area of Jordaan east by the "9 streets"…read more They have nearly everything the other Etos stores have, but it's all about the customer service and available products.

The staff here is friendly and helpful. It should be noted that this store is not just perfumes and…read morecosmetics but also various sundries like soaps, shampoos, bandages, powders, etc. I would suffice it to say they carry body care products. Being that they are a chain probably run by a corporation, each store is probably set up demographically. In other words some stores carry certain products while others don't. The store in my neighborhood doesn't carry what I was looking for but another store in a different area does. Since this particular store doesn't carry what I was looking for they also are unable to order it because it's an item they don't regularly carry. Regardless, they have a large selection of most things you might need at good prices.
